Amy’s V/H/S Wishlist

Coralie Fargeat (Revenge)

The only director I can think of who could rival Timo Tjahjanto’s level of blood.

Chad Crawford Kinkle (Dementer)

Because I would really like more people to know about this guy.

Sophia Takal (Always Shine)

You’ll notice I put Always Shine there and not the Black Christmas remake, and that’s because Always Shine shows how good Sophia Takal can be. She’s already acted in a V/H/S segment, let’s let her redeem herself by directing a really scary one.

David Amito & Michael Laicini (Antrum)

Let’s see what else these two can do

Wraparound: Cristobal Leon & Joaquin Cocina (The Wolf House)

We all know the frame stories in the V/H/S series are garbage, so let’s really change it up and make it animated.

Join us next time when we will be covering Censor - currently streaming on Hulu.

Come one, come all! It's Rob Zombie's clown-heavy new "horror" movie, 31! That's right, next up we'll be covering the newest edition to Rob Zombie's filmography. Should be a lively discussion.

2 | V/H/S & V/H/S/2

In episode two we tackle the V/H/S movies, which illustrate the age-old adage that you should never get caught up watching home videos when you sneak into someone's house. Just like last time we do a lot of spoiling here, so you've been warned. Enjoy!

The Movies

V/H/S (2012)

When a group of misfits is hired by an unknown third party to burglarize a desolate house and acquire a rare VHS tape, they discover more found footage than they bargained for.

What'd we think of V/H/S?
(out of 5 stars)

V/H/S/2 (2013)

Searching for a missing student, two private investigators break into his house and find collection of VHS tapes. Viewing the horrific contents of each cassette, they realize there may be dark motives behind the student's disappearance.

We also discuss the upcoming release V/H/S: Viral. You can see the trailer here.
