V/H/S/85 is in the lower tier with Viral and 99 for me. I liked the lake segment and the dream one was alright but I did not like the presentation and the other segments were bad or just too similar to horror shorts I've seen too many times. V/H/S/94 is still my overall favorite, I think, though 1 and 2 have some of the best individual segments

I'm surprised no one's mentioned the custom song summing up the movie during the credits in V/H/S 85.

Rageaholic posted:Viral has Bonestorm though!!! Bonestorm is good but the rest of Viral is real bad. Doesn’t help that is was coming off of VHS 2 which is excellent. But like I said, I’ll watch any VHS over and over again and still have a good time.

Sorry to interrupt V/H/S chat (it was my favorite one since 2), but without getting too spoilery does Picnic at Hanging Rock count as horror? It’s been on my watchlist forever and today will be a daytime watch for me and it seems like a good daytime movie.

Light on the horror but the vibe is unique.

Watched Mr. Vampire last night and it loving rules. How are the sequels? 2-4 are on the Criterion Channel as well.trip9 posted:Sorry to interrupt V/H/S chat (it was my favorite one since 2), but without getting too spoilery does Picnic at Hanging Rock count as horror?

More of a cryptic/existential vibe than creepy or scary but it’s definitely unsettling and if you like slower paced moody horror it’s a fantastic movie.

To be fair it would be very funny if we named a bonus challenge in the October thread after Picnic at Hanging Rock and didn’t let people watch it

I think most V/H/S efforts after the first film have been massive steps down, much less cerebral and less off-the-cuff weird approaches. It's become a kind of inside baseball horror thing for horror fans, not really my bag. 85 was fine, meh. I did look at the credits to see if Weird Al Yankovich sang that title song, though. He should sue!

You are wilddddd if you think Safe Haven is a step down Tho I will concede I’ve been chasing that high from seeing the first one, it felt so new and cool. Have seen about 500 anthologies since then lol WeaponX fucked around with this message at 18:14 on Oct 7, 2023 |

I haven't seen 99 or 85 yet, but Amateur Night, Second Honeymoon, Slumber Party Alien Abduction, Bonestorm, Storm Drain, and Terror are all amazing and justify the series as a whole, imho.

The 2002 miniseries Taken has cool aliens. I mean they look like typical greens but the poo poo they do is cool.

CGI ain't ever gonna be good ever again. I just dealt with it because they at least had good animation, character whatever.

I mean I wish they were slimy rubber goopy boys but oh well Also enjoyed how they kept changing shapes and sizes, I wanted more- like a 4 armed goro one or a lumpy meatball one

OTOH I'd rather see aliens that don't look perfect than blurry, dark, half out of frame ones that obviously being hidden

I really enjoyed VHS85. I imagine a lot of people are down on Teknogod but it gave me such perfect RLM best of the worst vibes until things pop off and we get the great gore effects. I also found Dreamkiller to be a pretty clever execution of a premise I would normally roll my eyes at.

[No One Will Save You] The CG was bad, but some of the ideas in their design was one of the few things I liked about that movie.

VHS 85 was good. Hard to rank them as individual movies since the quality can vary from segment to segment. One of my favorites that I haven't seen mentioned is To Hell and Back. Same people involved in Deadstream, but less annoying. And I loved Deadstream, it's just a hard rewatch because of all the streamer screaming.
