The seventh installment in the found footage anthology franchise is perhaps a half-step above the period-piece trilogy that preceded it, but as Matt says, it’s getting increasingly hard to care or sit through the undifferentiated stew we’re presented with time and again. The Flanagan-Siegel segment is an exception.

It may not be Eggers’ best work, but that’s a very high bar to clear. This is a beautifully shot, handsomely mounted reimagining of the landmark silent film, with standout performances all around.

Reminiscent of both halves of Twin Peaks and redolent with curdled 90s nostalgia, I Saw the TV Glow nonetheless provoked a Siskel-and-Ebert disconnect between Matt and Jim.

With his pitch-black pinhole glimpses of chaos in the desert, Robbie Banfitch clearly wants to put our imaginations to work, but he doesn’t leave us quite enough to work with.

While intriguing and loaded with personality, Something in the Dirt would have benefited from a little more structure and stronger distinctions between John and Levi’s dialogue.

V/H/S/99 marks the series’ full-on tonal shift into Creepshow-esque horror comedy, which ultimately proves detrimental. Better than V/H/S Viral, but that’s not saying much.

V/H/S/94 is a vast improvement over its immediate predecessor, but lags behind the first two films, providing a goofy, grindhouse atmosphere but forgetting to be frightening.

This blatant Body Snatchers knockoff has nothing to contribute to the formula, except an unnecessarily convoluted life cycle for the pod people.
