V/H/S

A group of up and coming directors (Matt Bettinelli-Olpin, David Bruckner, Tyler Gillett, Justin Martinez, Glenn McQuaid, Radio Silence, Joe Swanberg, Chad Villella, Ti West and Adam Wingard) united for this horror omnibus which also marks the feature debut of few of them. A group of petty criminals break into a house to steal a VHS tape but find more than they bargained for when they discover a bunch of tapes with terrifying material. The faux-found footage concept is given a new twist that's original and effective. The stories are much scarier in the short film format which works quite well. 1001 Films' coverage of films on DVD.
