Pretty solid entry overall in the VHS series! I'd rank it as a solid 3.5/5 overall, as none of the segments were flat-out terrible imo. Flying Lotus and the Winters had the best shorts by far, both feeling fully realized as opposed to "fun set up with a spooky twist at the last 30 seconds". Ranking: 1. To Hell and Back - The Winters are high on my directors-to-watch list after this and Headstream 2. Ozzy's Dungeon - Flying Lotus went wild on this. Probably the only short where I literally could not guess what was going to happen moment to moment 3. Shredders - Love the set up, as it kind of reminded me of 4. Suicide Bid - I see a lot of people calling this one boring, but I thought it was pretty good, though, in good ol' VHS fashion, the ending didn't quite hit 5. Gawkers - The only one I didn't really love. It was pretty obvious where it was going, and the actual reveal made me laugh. I guess it was neat to see a greek myth figure in one of these lol

Part of it was a cinema where you paid a nickle to get in and it was a steady loop of a newsreel, some cartoons and silent films with a guy on piano playing the music. There were no showtimes of what was when, you just went in and sat for as long as you wanted. If they were showing a silent horror, my parents weren't getting me out of there even with a promise to go to the ice cream soda parlor. Trivia bit, my Grandfather designed the heating/air conditioning for the parlor and exhibit. Yeah I remember that. Unfortunately that exhibit is no longer there, you can still gointo the penny arcade but it doesn't show anything. You just sit down in a room and it doesn't play anything and there's also not a ice cream parlor there anymore. Not sure why they closed the exhibit.

They actually announced loving 4 Silent Hill games at this thing, although details are sparse so far and they may not all be traditional games 2 Remake - what it says on the box Towerfall - no info but it's made by the same people as Observation and Stories Untold, both of which were terrific F- not much info but sounds like this the main new game in the series Ascension- "whole new experience." “live, real-time interactive series" supposedly similar to Until Dawn

I at least liked every segment, pacing issues the only complaints about a few of them, and Ozzy's Dungeon was my personal fav but I love what the Winters have done this month between Headstream and this. Definitely ones worth keeping an eye on going forward in the genre

the best part of VHS 99 is the wraparound they get worse each time. Theyre still not BAD, but each movie in this franchise is worse and worse that one segment doest even bother to explain how they got air in the casket Kvlt! fucked around with this message at 16:26 on Oct 20, 2022 |

If you're looking for something decent that you haven't seen before, try Found (2012). There is a "movie within a movie" in Found, a fictional brutal horror movie from the 1970's. About 20 minutes of material was filmed for that. The director eventually decided to actually make that movie, which was released as a sequel in 2015, called Headless. Unfortunately, the only way to watch this is on the Screambox app or website. While there is an Amazon Screambox channel, Headless is only available in certain regions. There is also a Blu-Ray, but it's out of print, rare, and expensive if you can find one on eBay.

Found has one insane loving ending. I think when it premiered here the director said two different child actors dropped out of the movie after their parents read the script.

I've always wondered how they get child actors not to freak out during wicked intense horror scenes. Like I'm sure they reassure them it's fake and all that but still some scenes (like the one in Found mentioned above) are pretty brutal for kids to act in

also the V/H/S movies all tend to have one absolute banger per entry, imo the Ozzy TV show segment was the best. The show part reminded me of those shows I watched as a kid like Legends of the Hidden Temple and the basement part reminded me of a PG-13 August Underground (and yet it somehow worked really well?)

I guess I need to watch V/H/S99 because "PG-13 August Underground" is a hell of a pitch. Gyro Zeppeli fucked around with this message at 17:51 on Oct 20, 2022 |

For some scenes they're probably fine, like any scene in which a kid gets brutally murdered is probably fun to play for some kids because they get to put on cool makeup and do a fairly intense scene. Scenes based more on tension or emotional abuse are probably a lot harder for them though.

From what I've heard actors and directors say over the years, the big thing seems to be the overall atmosphere on the set. You want to maintain a light jokey feel where everyone is being goofy and having a good time. That way when you do the scene the kids see it as just an extension of the fun.

Like I'm sure they reassure them it's fake and all that but still some scenes (like the one in Found mentioned above) are pretty brutal for kids to act in Kids love horror, and they're mostly able to tell the difference between reality and fiction - especially when they've seen a script telling them what will happen. When a child actor drops out of a movie after their parents read the script, it's frequently not the kid who has the problem with it.

I do like that the hotel is relatively nice at first, most places are all weird and hosed up but the hotel is just dark, because James feels relatively safe there due to only having happy memories with Mary. Then after the reveal makes him face reality, the hotel completely collapses and becomes more dilapidated and miserable than even the dark hospital, and it's not in the same way. The hospital is scary, the hotel is just sad. The hospital was his invented memory of the evil disease that took Mary from him, so became something hostile in the otherworld, but the Hotel is just empty, because it's his depression caused by the real memory of what he did. Similarly in his inteactions with the other characters, that depression gives him the context to stop obsessing over his own poo poo as much. Mary's gone and he's not going to find her, so in his last meeting with Angela instead of being all wrapped up in himself and getting defensive when accused of being just like her father, he's finally able to see the otherworld from her perspective and start saying what she needed to hear all along. That nothing was her fault and her parents were the problem. Unfortunately it's too little too late, and she's too far gone for his perspective to matter anymore.
