Oh boy, okay now this film was just gross and i mean disgustingly gross, i love gore but there’s a limit to it and this film went overboard with the gore. So what is this film about, well its an anthology film (different films made by different directors) this kinda reminded me of the Twilight Zone movie from the 80s (don’t quote me on that) I loved the Twilight Zone movie, it was different, so VHS 2 is a sequel to VHS which is even more disgusting than this one, we see different horror segments made by up and coming directors (one of whom directed the smash hit film The Raid) now some of the films were jumpy but the first half is really really gory (best to have a strong stomach for this one) and if your squeamish then avoid this film. The film follows two private investigators finding a missing student, when they are in the dorm they find stacks and stacks of VHS tapes, so they so they decide to watch them in the order that the student (who has left a video recording) has set, and thus a hours worth of gore, zombies, ghosts and aliens commences.

Test Phase

The first film follows a man who gets an eye implant with a built in video camera, and we see him go through some really scary ghost activity, there’s a scene in which you see a body under the covers that got my heart racing like crazy, so he gets help form a lady who has the same problem only instead of seeing the ghosts she can hear them, as she ties to distract the guy (which fails) she ends up getting drowned by the ghosts, so the guy decides to cut out his eye with a razor, after that with the eye still attached to the razor the ghosts shove it down the guys throat killing him.

A Ride In The Park

The second film is all about a guy who goes biking with a go-pro camera attached to his head, we see him biking and jumping over stuff, until he comes across a bloody woman asking for help, the guy offers but she violently bites him and he turns in to a zombie, after this two people come across him and get bitten as well, they turn in to zombies and they go and invade a children’s birthday party biting the guests, as the madness is happening the guy gets a call form his girlfriend asking where he is, after this he finds a shot gun and shoots himself.

Safe Haven

The third film follows a TV crew filming a cult in Asia, the cult leader is interviewed and they go in to the cult, we see the followers of this cult and what they do, but as the film goes on we see the dark meaning of what this cult are plotting, one of the news crew is pregnant to they kidnap her and she gives birth to a bull and the demon chases the last remaining crew member in to a car he then dies by the demon creature.

Slumber Party Alien Abduction

the fourth and final film follows a group of children at a slumber party all filmed through a camera on their Yorkshire Terrier dog as they get up to mischief they are unaware that aliens have landed and are heading for them, as the night goes on they are still unaware of the impending doom that the aliens are bringing, so as the night progresses the aliens come down and abduct the children sucking them up to their spaceship one of them carrying the dog accidentally drops it killing the dog as the kid gets sucked in to the spaceship.

and that is VHS 2, a really short film and I mean really short, the films are only 15 minutes give or take, but out of the four only two were gory those were safe haven and a ride in the park, now i really enjoyed this you don’t need character development in these films because they are only short but as for the gore i hated it, i mean if you want to see a man blow up and a bull emerge form a woman then i would say go for it, but however if your squeamish (like me) then definitely give this film a miss, but if you love gore then i would recommend it.

I also love the way that this was filmed, i love found footage movies as i said in the my little eye review, the different ways it was filmed, my favorite one has to be the camera embedded in the eye, now that’s genius  also the camera attached to the terrier was an inventive way as well, now i liked this film so I would give this film a 8/10 mainly because it was too gory for my liking but apart from that   it was really enjoyable. Have you seen this film? are you a fan of horror/found footage? what’s your favorite horror film? until next time catch you later.
