Part of

V/H/S Collection

Found footage anthology films centered around a number of disturbing VHS tapes that are discovered by innocent viewers and the possessive influence of the videos over those who see them. Realized by a collaboration of various filmmakers and different casts, the installments are mostly standalone in nature; though recurring elements indicate the same fictional villain as the source for all of its videos.

Dr Nostromo2026-09-05
★ 8/10
81/100 An impressive collection of 5 stories well worthy of the V/H/S label. "No Wake / Ambrosia" features 7 victims of a sniper and follows it up with a bizarre family tradition. Excellent with some highly intense moments. "God of Death" taking place during a major earthquake, went to gory, violent places I never expected ...not to mention the claustrophobia. "TKNOGD" I could have skipped this one. "Dreamkill" is the best of the bunch about a cop who's getting videos of murders before they happen. "Total Copy" wrap-around is goofy but violent. Good stuff, happy me. - DrNostromo.com
