V/H/S/2 (2013)

Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Lack of good storyline.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

V/H/S/2 brings to the audience a new way of found footage short-films. It gives us a lot of different elements and techniques that were used for each one. However the entirety of the film is boring, lame and even with some scares it cannot save this movie.

This movie is only about nudity and sexual assault. Disgusting, terrible and in no way okay. There are scenes of sexual assault and rape. It is seen that this movie is completely based around fully graphical nudity and assault and shouldn't be watched or supported by anyone.

I had read a number of favorable reviews about this movie, and being a fan of the "found footage" genre, I decided to watch the first V/H/S movie to get a feel for what was being made. After watching both movies, I cannot understand where all the favorable reviews of the second movie are coming from.V/H/S 2 is just another weak copycat sequel, with less plot and too much reliance on blood and gore. While I am a huge fan of horror movies and don't mind blood and gore, the first movie was more suspenseful, leaving the audience wondering what mysterious creatures are lurking in the shadows while the hand held camera pans around the room. Early into the second movie, the audience can safely assume that some ghostly creature is going to attack the panicked subject and then extract their flesh to satisfy its zombie-esque cravings.This plot line because too monotonous and took the chill out of what was supposed to scare the viewer.

V/H/S/ 2 is a modern-day horror anthology featuring eclectic talent from the directors of THE RAID and YOU'RE NEXT amongst others. As with many modern horror anthologies, the emphasis is on outright blood and gore over scares, although there are attempts here to frighten as well as repulse the viewer. There are four tales in all, as well as a mildly diverting wraparound story involving a creepy old house and a VHS collection. Most of the material is shot POV style, which I enjoyed as a fan of the 'found footage' genre.The first tale is a simple riff on THE EYE, as a guy gets a new-fangled optic implant that restores his sight but has the unwanted side effect of allowing him to see spirits at the same time. I love the introduction of the deaf girl with her own twist and this is by far the scariest of the film, with some really jumpy moments. It's all predictable, but that's okay.The second tale is about a cyclist with a Go Pro camera mounted on his helmet. His trip through the woods is interrupted by a zombie attack, and what we get here is unending gore and bloodshed, some of the most gruesome you'll see. It's all pretty distasteful actually, and more than a little pointless.The third story is the Indonesian one, contributed by THE RAID director Gareth Evans; as a huge fan of his films, it was the one I was most looking forward to. Evans doesn't disappoint; this is as intense as his action films, and the madcap plot line involves a doomsday cult and the birth of the Antichrist. It's exceptionally gory, delightfully obscure, and without a doubt the highlight of the whole thing.The fourth and final story is weak by comparison. It tells of an attack by extraterrestrials on a group of redneck characters, who are all really dumb, but there's way too much of the shaky cam here and little real meat to the storyline. The dog is the most interesting character and you can guess what happens to that. V/H/S/ 2 isn't bad at all for fans of gory horror, but aside from the Indonesian segment it's all rather familiar.
