All of the great scenes in the world can't equal a great movie if there's nothing connecting them. V/H/S begins with several amateur criminals breaking into an abandoned house to search for an incredibly rare video tape. They find the owner dead as a doornail and as the criminals seperate, they each begin to search through tapes, with each of them featuring an unspeakable crime. They soon realize that everything is not as it seems and they might not be alone in this aforementioned abandoned house. Some of the tapes that are featured (all of which were done by different directors) are actually quite chilling. Most noteworthy being the films involving the vampire and abandoned party. But the issue with V/H/S is that there's nothing connecting anything going on here. It's literally 8 movies all squished together but nothing ties anything together. V/H/S is like a steadily entertaining jigsaw puzzle with every piece failing to link with any of the others.
2/4
