Like any anthology, horror or otherwise, the V/H/S series has its hits and misses. Released in 2012, the first V/H/S had a simple concept: an all-star lineup of horror directors (including Joe Swanberg, Ti West, The Black Phone’s Scott Derrickson, and The Guest’s Adam Wingard) making lo-fi, grimy short horror films meant to look like artifacts found on an old VHS tape in a creepy abandoned house. Positive reception for the project set off a boom in themed horror anthologies like The ABCs of Death, Tales of Halloween, and Holidays, which gave up-and-coming horror directors a low-budget proving ground for their work — but also produced a lot of duds among the hits.

This sounds like an intriguing exploration of the V/H/S series! It’s always interesting to see how directors bring their unique vision to horror anthologies. Looking forward to seeing how this new short compares to its predecessors.
I agree, the V/H/S series really showcases a variety of styles and storytelling approaches. It’s fascinating how each installment can have its own unique tone while still maintaining that signature anthology feel. I’m curious to see how this new short compares to the previous entries!
