V/H/S/2 is a 2013 American anthology horror film featuring a series of found-footage shorts.

In V/H/S 2, the second film in the VHS franchise, a pair of private investigators break into the home of a missing college student, uncovering a collection of mysterious videotapes that reveal four horrifying films, trafficked by an underground tape sharing community, which lead them toward a shocking resolution to their case. This is modern horror at its most inventive, shrewdly subverting our expectations about viral videos in ways that are just as satisfying as they are sadistic.

Chapter film descriptions
By FEARnet

Chapter one is about a guy who gets a robotic eyeball that allows him to see ghosts. It's a pretty conventional story until we meet the second character: a beautiful young woman who can hear ghosts. Director Adam Wingard (who also stars as the poor guy) dabbles in basic ghostly ideas before delving into some decidedly cleverer stuff.

Chapter two is so cool and clever I suspect that co-creators Eduardo Sanchez and Gregg Hale (The Blair Witch Project) could easily expand it to feature-length, but why bother? This short (about a man who mounts a camera on his helmet, goes biking, and gets attacked by zombies) is pretty much perfect the way it is. Gross, funny, and very clever about its reversal on zombie perspectives, this could be the best tale of the batch, except that…

Chapter three, which is co-directed by Gareth Evans (The Raid) and Timo Tjahjanto (Macabre), takes place in a creepy cult deep in the wilderness of Indonesia. A group of reporters are there to interview the cult leader, and let's just say that all hell breaks loose. A wonderful combination of various horror genres, this segment (which runs about 30 minutes all told) might be one of the best horror shorts I've ever witnessed. Structurally, thematically, and considering things like tone, editing, and (of course) the requisite “found footage” presentation… wow. I'm not getting into specific details but this particular section of VHS2 is what I like to call a miniature masterpiece.

Which means that chapter four simply MUST be a let-down, right? In most cases, yes. Luckily we have Jason Eisener (Hobo With a Shotgun) on hand to present what I like to call “The Nightmare Version of E.T.” This 14-minute piece tracks a slumber party from its raucous antics to a standoff with interstellar enemies with a remarkable sense of energy, humor, and (ultimately) some legitimate thrills and chills. Also all of the footage is shot from the perspective of a dog. Yep, a dog.

V/H/S 2 Movie Reviews

“Anthologies are pretty easy to review, truth be told, so let's cut right to the point: if you liked last year's horror collection called V/H/S then there's virtually no chance that you'll dislike the sequel; it's quicker, slicker, and perhaps even sicker than the first entry, but it's also another shining example of how well horror cinema can work in bite-sized portions…The key to a solid horror anthology is simple: make none of the segments suck, and make sure at least one of them is DAMN good. V/H/S/2 succeeds on both counts…represents the best sort of indie horror collaboration you could imagine: filmmakers from around the world who clearly adore horror cinema and do all they can to deliver the spooky stuff in short, sharp shocks.” FEARnet

“Slicker than the original without the sudden lurches in quality, this second shaky-cam horror anthology still has a standout sequence by which all the others must be judged.” Total Film

“a sequel that surpasses the original in execution, direction and content…This is a film with great stories and a wraparound that has twice the scares! We are talking more gore, more carnage and more laughs than its predecessor…The found footage sub-genre is still alive and well, folks. V/H/S/2 is a prime example of why. Don’t miss this one!” 5/5 Dread Central

“Less turns out to be much more for S-VHS, a sequel to last year's uneven indie horror omnibus V/H/S; this one is shorter and has fewer segments, but also earns a much higher batting average.” Variety
