The Upside: Strong, sometimes gory CGI; Vigalondo’s entry, The Downside: Interesting ideas are half-baked; outright stupidity; faulty found footage; and acting from soap opera land. It feels a whole lot like Sarmiento had a vibrant idea in his head but couldn’t figure out how to communicate it. Luckily, these slacker good-for-nothin’ youngsters are quite adept at video game scenarios. When V/H/S: Viral was first announced, a piece of information was accidentally revealed that’s caused almost a year of speculation. Do they really think anyone’s going to watch this and say, “You know, we do have a problem, guys.” Of course not. You’re right that the connective tissue has always been the weakest link of V/H/S. Last modified on Thu 22 Feb 2018 19.13 GMT. As with VHS (2012) and VHS 2 (2013), it is the wrap around story (Vicious Circles) that continues to have the least impact never truly trying to tie the stories together this time around. But the true offender is “Vicious Circles”, the anthology’s connective tissue. The low point comes at the high point of the action, where writer/director Gregg Bishop says fuck it to found footage and shoots a magical fight sequence from at least a dozen angles (all still with grainy POV style!) In VHS, the incredibly unlikable characters would watch the other segments on the VHS tapes. REVIEW: Gregg Bishop’s “Dante the Great”, for one, is a tonal mess that’s hard to even classify as a found footage film, a fact I’d probably disregard if it was entertaining. It’s a damned illuminating trip where the joy of discovery eventually gives way to terrified violence. What begins as the classic Groucho and Harpo bit from Duck Soup soon changes. The latest entry, V/H/S Viral, keeps that tradition alive, and although it’s by far the weakest of the three, there are some genuinely creative moments that spark the brain and fry the hairs. Or the fractured tone? The unnecessary mythology that shrink-wraps each short film is so intoxicating at this point that I’m sort of glad these are VOD as I’d hate to sit through any more of this trash in future installments. With Patrick Lawrie, Emilia Ares, Celia K. Milius, Steve Berens. While not a successful as the previous two entries, VHS Viral is a fun film, full of inventive ideas, original effects and gruesome surprises. It’s been proven again and again that horror is directly proportionate to demystification: the more you explain, the less you scare. One could argue that this lends itself to the film’s satire — hypocritical and passé as it may be — and perhaps it does.
