VHS is pretty good, worth a watch, but not outstanding. The first story after the frame is established is by far the best. It's really good. The rest are okay.
VHS 2 is a huge improvement. All the stories are entertaining, well done, and well acted. I like the alien one the best, but the cult and zombie shorts are top-notch as well. The framing story and first story are the weak links, but only in comparison to the rest.
Originally shared by Curt Thompson This is an interesting theory, but I notice the author has to omit one of the most important Heinlein novels to make it work. Time Enough For Love was written in the very early 70s and was a straight (heh) extrapolation of the chaotic and frenetic zeitgeist of that era. http://www.locusmag.com/Perspectives/2012/11/the-joke-is-on-us-the-two-careers-of-robert-a-heinlein/

Originally shared by Andrew “Incomitatum” Chason Hit Me with your Horror I am looking for some horror flicks. The newer the better. Good is good too. I liked House of 1000 Corpses and Devil's Rejects . I liked both the new Texas Chainsaw movies. Hills Have Eyes 1 was good (never saw the second . Jeepers Creepers 1 & 2 come to mind as well. A little camp, and/or "back woods" can't hurt. Any of you have any recommendations? Lets try and not go too far back than mid 90's. Aside: How was the new "Freddy" movie? Suggested So Far • Bones (2001) • Drag Me to Hell (2009) • The Grudge (2004) • Don't Be Afraid of the Dark (2010) • Dog Soldiers (2002) • The Decent (2005) • Creature (2011) • The Last Winter (2006)
How could a flick titled "Slumber Party Alien Abduction" not be fantastic?
ReplyDeleteI just looked it up, and that short was directed by the guy that did Hobo With a Shotgun. I'll have to watch that now.
ReplyDeleteAnd his next movie is apparently going to be Blatant Violence High.
ReplyDeleteAwesome.
Ah...it's a short in the film VHS2, not a stand alone film on it's own. I get it now. A bit slow this morning. So VHS2 is good, is VHS 1good also?

I wish the VHS franchise would either abandon their bookending or actually do something with it. As it is, it's just lame.
ReplyDeleteThey are the weakest link. A creepy hand just putting tapes into the bank of TVs and VCRs would be more effective.
