philippkogler-99689 I wanted to give this movie a try because I generally enjoy this kind of movies (horror movie filmed like from a camcorder) but this one doesn't do anything right. People break into a house to steal videos for an unkown reason. They watch the videos which show short horror movies and then die themselves. That's the whole plot, even a child can think of a better plot, I don't know what they thought while making this movie. These short horror movies have the same structure: People enjoying their time by doing something nice, then they die. Before dying, they experience something extraordinarily weird but they don't seem to mind. They behave AS STUPID AS POSSIBLE. Nobody would be like "Hey cool, there are arms coming out of the wall, a child sitting on a chair, then disappearing, let's stay in the scary house and check out what these noises are", are you fucking kidding me? Another example: Someone is running away, almost gets away, then falls off the stairs and breaks something so they get caught and die. REALLY??? WHY?! I was waiting for the main story to continue until the end but there is no main plot, the people who break into the house just die and then it ends. Please don't waste 2 hours of your life, I think everyone can make a better movie.Why 2 Stars? The only story I kind of liked was the one with the weird girl who magically transformed into a weird creature which kills people. It was creepy but still made in a bad way, it could have been better. In the end the last survivor of this story dies because he fell off the stairs and broke his arm so the creature can catch him. Come... on... didn't you have any better ideas?Please don't watch this... please don't do that to yourself

smoothtacomann This is no masterpiece by any means. I went into this movie with low expectations, from what I have heard this movie was pretty horrid with not much much horror. Luckily for the film I had some time to kill. So I turned off the lights in my room, got comfortable and turned on the movie. Surprisingly I did not hate this movie as much as I thought I would have. VHS not something you should take serious as a film but, I also don't think its trying that hard to be taken serious either. Throwing my artsy opinions about films away I had a fun time. Check it out you might have an okay time like I did.

onecrunchywiddlepickle Let me start by saying that the VHS series is one of the best movie series of the millennium. Not only does it have an interstellar cast of, Randy Newman, Paul Rudd, Kate Olsen, (The Black one), and probably my dad. You may be asking yourselves why i'm taking the time and effort to type out a movie review about probably one of the most obscure and stupidist movie franchises in all of my asshole, its because i trying to convey the meaning and thought that VHS is probably one of the most brilliantly executed and most well thought out movies of our generation. If anyone out there named Joe Regal, specifically think other wise, your gay and smelly.VHS is a masterfully shot and marvelously executed piece of drama and art. The tender care and Thought that went into every alien dance sequence, and Hilarious and side splitting fart joke truly holds up when Paul Rudd's character, "stinky" gets a call from the E.R saying his mother died from the impact of the collision, and stinky throws his arms into the air and shouts "BAZAANGLE BOJANGLE" The plot of VHS still holds up even after its release in 1867 B.C, real quick- I think that that and that alone is enough to divorce your wife and cut all previous ties with your family and to go see this work of aspiring art.A quick summary of the plot, Randy Newman's and Kate Olsen's (The Black one) characters get into a heated argument in whether or not Kettle corn is gross or not (which it clearly is and stop trying to say its not.) Well, Kate Olsen (The Black one)'s character says its not, and Randy Newman's character decided to give up because his family is probably dead after 400 years of arguing and are probably really gross and smelly. Kate Olsen's character, (The Black one) takes out a bag of succulent little kernels begins to one throat each one of them and walks away, but then she explodes, because in the previous scene she just ate an entire 32" pizza even though she is lactose intolerant. I think this scene and this scene and this scene alone perfectly describes how well all three installments of the VHS series blends and choreograph's into this nice clean consistent work, and truly symbolizes the inner meaning and dialogue of the characters and writings.this is exactly what happened and how the movie plays out and if you don't think so, then your flat out wrong and poopy. Especially if your name is joey and you are a hoey, then your reeeaallly poopy and stinky.I give the Boxcar Children a solid 9.8/10

donmunk321 I think the amateur camera footage has been really over done and used far too much, but I really enjoyed this film.Five different horror stories, all using similar amateur recording style, and a framing device which is it's a own mini story as well.I enjoyed each segment very much, they all bring something to the film and I think the fact that they are short and somewhat ambiguous and leave unanswered questions also adds to the mystic of the film.You have quite a varied mixture of traditional horror themes each with creepy elements and gore and violence, gore in a more realistic manner than say some slasher movies.I really enjoyed each story and each could be a film within its own right if just padded out, but the fact they are short and end abruprtly with unanswered questions adds more to the film.Sometimes less is more.
