The first installment was scarier, and more realistic. This film is simply fun to watch, and there are some disgusting moments, but it's not enough scary. I had fun watching it, the camera-work and the special effects are great, but I want more from a horror movie. I'll give a benignant 7/10, even if it's not that good.

V/H/S/2 is like the droves of other sequels that are forced and totally manufactured. In other words, they doctored up some daft reason for a part 2 to occur and made a movie.V/H/S/2 actually happens at the venue of the first installment. This time two private eye types whose job it is to find and/or film people are looking for a lady's lost son. The male counterpart to this dumb duo says that the boy is at a particular house. I guess breaking and entering is a part of their job description because that's exactly what they do. "Oh, and since we're here, let's watch some of these unlabeled video tapes." Yes, that's how it happened. Most people that break into any place want to get in and out as quickly as possible, especially since they're committing a crime. This terrible tandem did everything but buy soda and popcorn.As for the videos: they lacked imagination as well. Plenty of gore (if I said gratuitous violence that would be putting it mildly), supernatural stuff, and some unexplained nudity. That's what I made of it all. Ultimately, it was a chance to mint money based upon the first movie.

There is really nothing to be excited about in V/H/S/2. I had heard mixed reviews on it, and whilst the found footage concept is clichéd at this point, I thought I'd give it a go and hopefully see a glimpse of hope. This was not to be. Besides being long and boring, this film just wasn't scary nor was it interesting. The initial videos seem to set the slow pace for the rest of the film, and whilst there are times where you think something fun will happen, it just fails to be executed.V/H/S/2 is nothing more then an expected disappointment. There is nothing fun, interesting, scary or enjoyable that comes out of this found footage montage, which is a shame. Truly a bad Hollywood cash grabber.

I loved the first one, and I like the subversive, no-holds-barred tone of the franchise. But I can only give this a 4 out of 10.The first segment had a creative premise; the point-of-view device for the second segment was fantastic. (Why hasn't a zombie filmmaker thought of that before?) But there is just too much bad acting, bad dialogue and annoying shaky-cam, along with some painfully low-budget special effects.I'd recommend viewing only the second segment and skipping the rest. (And even that one isn't exactly high art.)
