V/H/S/ 2
...aka GoPros gone Wild!!
That's the thing about
'found footage' movies: Crappy camera, lots of innuendo, and more questions than answer at the end. That's typically why I find them annoying and avoid
at all costs. When I chose the first V/H/S last year, I cursed myself
when I realized what it was. However, I made a commitment, so I stuck
it out and watched it. Strangely, it satisfied me just enough to
pique some interest in the sequel, and that's why I picked it...and
thankfully, I was happy with what I saw.
4 stories, with a 5th
acting as bumpers. It's the same formula from the first film, but I
think the real differences showed in the 'startle' factor. And
normally, I hate those film. I startle easy, but that's not the same
thing as scaring me. None of the film was actually scary, BUT---at some
point in every story, I had goosebumps with a smile on my face. The
goosebumps don't happen to me very often, and hardly ever because of
a horror movie. It could have just been the mood I was in, but for
some reason this movie clicked with me and I enjoyed the hell out of
it.
It takes too much to
examine every story, so I'm just going to give a small glimpse of
what you'll see:
Eye gouging, exploding
cult leaders, alien abduction, zombie feasting (POV, of course), a
demon spawn finds his 'papa', and a very coordinated mass suicide. Wanna see the 'papa' thing? Thought you'd never ask
