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.

Episode 137 – Something in the Dirt

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.

Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum is another eerily effective entry in the venerable traditions of K-horror and “old haunted building movies,” as well as the not-so-venerable tradition of found footage films.
