Fueled by an obsession with low-fi terror and how it could reinvigorate
the horror anthology subgenre, 2012’s “V/H/S” misfired more than it
maimed. Hobbled by artistic unevenness and a dim-witted wraparound
story, the jerky, exceedingly violent endeavor didn’t seem like a
natural fit for sequels. However, never underestimate the power of a
cult audience. Less than a year later, we’re faced with “V/H/S/2,” which
continues the saga of the haunted videotapes, only the quality of the
shorts presented here is miles ahead of what’s come before, with a
newfound dedication to turning these disparate visions of doom into
interesting little slices of POV misery, finding noticeable care poured
into the work to form a stronger, more cohesive sequel.
