Leave your thoughts about V/H/S.
| IndiewireEric KohnMost segments have a fair share of cheap scares, but they also delve into the art of the build-up, as if delivering a series of grim jokes with bloody punchlines. Consider it a 21st-century take on "Tales from the Crypt." |
| The A.V. ClubScott TobiasIt also, in its best moments, makes horror out of the 21st-century obsession with self-documentation. |
| New York PostSara StewartScrappy and unsettling, V/H/S puts the majority of today's mainstream "scary" movies to shame. |
| Boxoffice MagazineSara Maria VizcarrondoSure it's fun - and painful - but it's not thin. |
| EmpireOwen WilliamsLike last year's "Chronicle," here's another reminder that in the right hands found footage still has plenty of capacity to surprise. |
| The PlaylistWilliam GossV/H/S delivers the thrills and chills craftily and with a better batting average than usual. |
| The Hollywood ReporterJustin LoweRefreshingly, V/H/S promises no more than it delivers, always a plus with genre fare. |
| Miami HeraldRene RodriguezThe film also plays to the strengths of the found-footage format, proving that sometimes the scariest things are the ones you can barely see. For horror hounds, this is required viewing. |
| Philadelphia InquirerTirdad DerakhshaniNo one should be expected to endure 115 minutes of this nonsense. |
| Slant MagazineEd GonzalezAn anthology of found-footage horror shorts that exudes, sometimes extraordinarily, a neophyte's sense of courage and cluelessness. |
