What's the verdict?

>>84388938
1 was better than expected
2 was far worse than expected

/tv/ was obsessed with the first two when they were released. I remember an anon buying the 2nd on itunes at midnight of the release and having a pretty full /tv/ stream. good times. The 3rd killed franchise

>>84389028
why didn't you like the second one?

1 breddy gud
2 meh, some are okay
3 fuck you

I think the 4th short is the creepiest one of them all, most people give it flank for being semi weak but I thought it was pretty interesting especially the twist towards the end where the ghosts were actually aliens and the boyfriend was in the apartment the whole time and that he was in on it too

the third film was so bad it actually hurt a little

>>84389184
I'm a fan of found footage flicks. Knew nothing about the VHS movies other than it was suggested by Netflix, so we put it on and it ended up being really creepy and pretty well done for such a low budget. My wife loves scary movies, and when she starts sitting really close to me I know it's really getting to her.

Watched the second months later thinking it'd probably be just as creepy, like maybe they had more stories that didn't make the first one.

We spent most of it laughing and rolling our eyes at how corny and predictable it was.

More than once we'd say "do we want to keep watching this?" but stuck it out. I kept saying "maybe the next one will be better"

Now we always joke when we're looking for a scary movie that we're going to put on VHS3

>VHS
>Harpy Girl Story
An all time classic
>Lesbian murderers
Incredibly boring and not supernatural.
>Glitch Jason Voorhees
Not scary, but entertainingly campy
>Ayy Lmao webcam girl
Probably the best one
>Haunted House
Too excessive with special effects and CGI, but the concept was decent.

7/10 some decent horror in there but lots of shit

>VHS 2
>Eyeball
Some of the ghosts were scary and the sex scene was hot, it was decent
>Zombie biker
I loved the concept but it was too goofy
>Indonesian satanists
Probably the best one until the stupid ending.
>Alien abduction
>Excessive, nonstop forced horror. I really didn't enjoy this one because it was just one big "Rawr look at these aggressive quadruped grey aliens"

5/10 one decent horror story but most are either silly or blatantly unscary.

V/H/S - Surprisingly good horror movie out of nowhere

V/H/S 2 - Zombies and ghosts spooktacular extravaganza

I enjoyed VHS 1 and 2 and the other film the guys did.

I wish they put out more stuff to be honest.

the second was the best horror comedy I've ever seen

Vhs 2 was way better than the first one.
Vhs 1 has Second Honeymoon and 10/31/98
Vhs 2 has A Ride in the Park and Safe Haven(best in the series by far)

I have no idea how you have such a sharp decline in quality like that. It was absolute garbage. Only the alternate dimension demon thing was even anywhere near interesting.

Was Viral the one that had the short with the Mexicans killing zombies or something? That was so bad it was hilarious in a way. They killed any chances of there being a V/H/S 4 with that trash.

VHS 1 & 2 are kind of like Toy Story 1 & 2

Clearly the first film is what really popularized the franchise, and rightfully so. But the second film solidified the films as works of art, and has its own charm out right.

>>84399676
Now, as far as Toy Story 3 and VHS Viral go- i think comparisons can also be made there too.

>>84390507
>Ayy Lmao webcam girl

The only ones I liked at all were the Harpy/Succubus girl in VHS1, and the Indonesian Death Cult in 2. Didn't even bother with Viral

Agreed, not scary, but it was a lot of fun. The only thing that really ruined it was the girl's poor acting.

I enjoyed the first part of that story, the parallel universe idea was done well but then like you said it went completely off the rails with demonic worship vagina stomachs. it just became laughable

VHS Viral is shockingly terrible, it feels like a made-for-TV syfy channel flick or a really awful straight to video horror movie. I'm honestly amazed by just how utterly irredeemably shit it is in every way.

What do they mean by this?

Didn't they expland the succubus story into a full feature? Was it any good?

>>84408106
>succubus
It's a harpy.

>>84408231
In Siren they actually do say she is a demon summoned from hell.

>>84388938
1 was legit unsettling and good
2 was OK
3 was a fucking mess

>>84408231
>>84408330
what's the difference

>>84408409
A harpy is a filthy human eating bird woman that seeks out men to take back home and rape.

A succubus is a female demon that causes wet dreams

The entire premise is that of a harpy.
She's a girl who can barely speak English beyond "I like you" who has scaly bird-like feet that kills a bunch of dudes she doesn't want, tracks down the main guy and then after being disappointed that he can't get hard sprouts wings and abducts him.

>>84408539
Are Harpies related to Hell?

>>84408693
They have been.

>>84388938
I actually enjoyed all three of them, although V/H/S 3 was more meta/tongue-in-cheek.

>>84406068
If you take it as satirical/absurdist, it works. It's not actually scary though.

>>84408539
Again, she is a demon, not an harpy.

But the movie also implies that she isn't a succubus, as she is looking for a mate for life.

>>84408539
So she wanted the guy at the end to rape and kill? Same thing In the movie? To rape and kill?

>>84408978
If what it's shown of Lily in the movie also applies to the segment in V/H/S, then she actually wanted the guy as her husbando.

>>84408693
They're from Greek mythology but they are in the 7th ring of hell in Inferno.

>>84408970
I want to know where you're getting this idea that she's a demon. Demons don't autistically go around looking for men to mate for life with.

>>84408978
She wanted one guy, when the other guys tried to fuck her she just castrated and killed them.

>>84408539
>that seeks out men to take back home and rape.
[citation needed]

Really though, harpies never raped men in mythology.

Back then, men in general are the only ones who could rape. At worst, women could "seduce" men, e.g. with sirens.

>>84409152
>I want to know where you're getting this idea that she's a demon.


... brother, I already said it, they outright explain it in the movie. There is a guy who summoned and used her as a sex slave, assuming that she was a succubus, but she actually wasn't up for all the sex and just wanted a mate for life.

>>84409152
>they are in the 7th ring of hell in Inferno.
why are my niggas Plato and Socrates in Limbo?

>>84388938
Garbage

I didn't think Viral was awful, just concepts not realized to their fullest potential. Even the framing story was ok, but was basically a bunch of car chase until the end implication.

It felt like something like Hostel 3, which isn't made by the original people and has the same/similar concept, just not done as well.

>>84409309
>They explain it in the movie
>Guy who summoned
What are you even talking about?

>>84409416
He is talking about this

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKvwWQ7tSmk

>>84409416
OK, you genuinely seem to not know...

The monster in question, Lily, appears in the Amateur Night segment of V/H/S, that you are probably are aware of.

Well, that segment proved to be popular enough, so they actually made a movie out of it, titled SiREN (Lily is played by the same actress, BTW), which obviously expands things a great deal.

>>84409607
>>84409570

I guess that's cool? Still doesn't change the fact that a harpy and a Siren even aren't actually succubi.

I argued with some faggot that she was a succubus years ago and was pretty much owned with enough evidence that the intended creature was a harpy rather than succubus. The premise of the thing was of Greek idea of monstrous bird women.

>>84409762
She is neither a Harpy, nor a Siren (that's actually just the title of the movie), or a succubus. She is an unrelated type of demon. I don't know what else to say, if you want to keep thinking she a Harpe, that's up to you.

>>84409905
>They just named the movie siren
>Archtype of the character is related to a Siren, a greek bird woman monster with similarities to a harpy

I stand by the original concept.

>>84389545

VHS Viral was pure cancer. The Spanish teleportation segment had potential but fell flat.

Overall, a mid-tier anthology series.

It's either bad writing or the writers were genius in knowing that he would be thinking "Oh shit she's on to us" rather than be legitimately concerned that she's mutilating herself.

The school cult felt like a dream sequence with how disjointed it was. Very cool on a concept level. Giving birth to a goat demon was a bit anticlimactic.
