Critics Consensus

It's as scattershot as its predecessor, but V/H/S/2 rounds up enough horror filmmaking talent to deliver a satisfyingly nasty -- albeit uneven -- dose of gore.

Less is not necessarily more in this slimmed-down collection.

3/5

There are some dull stretches here, but also some grisly instant hits: nasty, deplorable, vulgar and sometimes brilliant.

Someone please give Gareth Evans lots of money to make amazing, violent, creative horror films.

3/5

Unlike its predecessor, V/H/S/2 only has one speed. This fast, loud, and abrasive film would have benefited from one or two slower, more tense segments to vary the tone. However, the thrills of A Ride in the Park and Safe Haven make this worth a watch.

4/5

Pulls off the seemingly impossible by being an anthology that succeeds with nearly every vignette. Between the merits of each individual segment and the variety of horrors chronicled, it's arguably the highpoint of the franchise.

Admirable but uneven, as is often the case with such anthologies.

This is a step down from what made It’s predecessor entertaining. It is not terrible, but it’s far less interesting or scary than it easily could have been.

Another great found footage film proving that V/H/S will still stand as the king of found footage films

No es un genero del terror al cual me guste ver y considero que para que este tipo de peliculas me llame la atención deben estar bien contadas.

Good plot, creepy short stories. Less sexual assault in this one compared to the first which is a plus
