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 Jonathan Tweet Tonight, my "Lethal Damage" 13th Age campaign draws to a close. Meanwhile, the guys are work have talked me into running a couple D&D sessions for them. That was the day 13th Age was announced, and they're happy to play 13th Age instead. That will be my "Great Center" campaign, based in the imperial capital of Axis, the center of the world. It's my opportunity to explore the setting from yet another perspective.
Correction in comments, I'm still mad Ok, I found out the 5e allosaurus from Tomb of Annihilation was only CR2 and was outraged, so I made a comparison of a D&D character and allosaurus specimen MOR 693. Then I compared the allosaurus to a polar bear, also CR2. The bear has 5HD and the allosaurus has 6HD. So, I take it back. CR 2 is fine.
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.
