Review
"Remarkably, given the premise, only one of the five short segments that make up V/H/S is an outright failure. The others — from such US indie darlings as House Of The Devil director Ti West, mumblecore luminary Joe Swanberg and fledgling YouTube collective Radio Silence — share an experimental bent, a knack for well-timed twists and they don't pander to the squeamish. It puts these spooky miniatures head and shoulders above the bulk of this year's featurelength horror fare... Forever chasing scares both cerebral and visceral, the filmmakers leave little space for cynicism and plenty for admiration — an invaluable accomplishment in a film form that's so susceptible to weak spots." - Charlie Lyne, Little White Lies
