V/H/S/99

𝒜𝓂𝒶𝓃𝒹𝒶 𝒦.🏳️‍🌈3.0

V/H/S/99 Is the latest addition to the found footage horror omnibus franchise, and it mostly works.This sub-genre has been slowly evolving since it’s inception and here it traverses more into the comedy realm. This time it nixes a through narrative for a handful of stop motion segments that makes it feel like your watching Adult Swim. Revenge seems to be the theme in this outing and while there are always standouts it’s also very uneven. A little more time and care put into this would have went a long way in strengthening the foundation.Comedy and Horror are like peanut butter and chocolate, both great on their own but when combined magic happens. While this isn’t quite magic, there is enough here that will surely entertain.

bad news, this movie doesn’t make a lick of sense if you haven’t seen the other 98...............(Okay, the movie’s out now, so I’m amending this goofy-ass dad joke to say: solid entry. The bad entries aren’t all that bad; they’re just Flying Lotus-y, which is to say Incredibly Fucking Weird and Sort Of Incoherent. That’s okay though; this series should be allowed the freedom to let artists go cuckoo bananas.Conclusion: Maggie Levin and the couples Winter undefeated, corpse munching and demon punching.)

Can you imagine a horror anthology where not even one segment is good? V/H/S/99 is so atrocious it makes Viral feel like an instant horror classic. If V/H/S/94 still shows hope, 99 proves it's really time to retire the franchise.V/H/S/99 consists of 5 stories that bomb one after another, with only glimpses of the past glory.-Shredding: underwhelming starter, where a banal premise of haunted house leads to nothing substantial. At least the music rocks.-Suicide Bid: another overdone premise with no redeeming quality and an atrocious ending. -Ozzy's Dungeon: starts with huge potentials, then proceeds to nothingness, then ends with utter confusion. At least the social commentary is there.-The Gawkers: too much buildup leads to an unmatched result. The potential is there.-To Hell And Back: Vanessa & Joseph Winter must have been so caught up with Deadstream that they didn't spend nearly enough time perfecting the lazy script here. Just avoid this one.
