An admirable project, but my sensitivity to the overwhelming gruesomeness outweighed my interest.

Creative horror shorts from around the globe.

T was okay, but the other 25 are all terrible. Very few even go for horror, instead being terribly unfunny, very gross, or pointless porn.

Not worth any attention - every clip is some level of bad, ranging from boring to morally reprehensible. Not fun, totally unenjoyable.

Very interesting idea, some shorts leave a lot to be desired, but there are some really crazy ones.

I like the concept but the exicution was sloppy, didn't feel scary at all. Kinda a waste of time tbh.

V/H/S/2
Inside a darkened house looms a column of TVs littered with VHS tapes, a pagan shrine to forgotten analog gods. The screens crackle and pop endlessly with monochrome vistas of static white noise permeating the brain and fogging concentration. But you must fight the urge to relax: this is no mere movie night. Those obsolete spools contain more than just magnetic tape. They are imprinted with the very soul of evil.
