A perfectly fine found footage horror anthology though not as strong as last year's _V/H/S/94_. This V/H/S series remains the most inventive when it comes to found footage films, which puts it at about average among all horror anthologies. However, this year's entry falls unfortunately into the category on where it misses more often than it hits. I find the first three segments forgettable and somewhat underwhelming. _Shredding_ (dir. Maggie Levin) is probably my least favorite. I think it's just dumb and the editing comes off as trying too hard which negatively affect my overall enjoyment. _Suicide Bin_ (dir. Johannes Robert) is claustrophobic and spooky enough. Not enough to make it a standout, though. Thankfully, things start to get more interesting in _Ozzy's Dungeon_ (dir. Flying Lotus). While I appreciate how wild it is, with the crazy game show accident, the revenge plot, the body horror elements, it unfortunately overstays its welcome. But it could've been much better if it wasn't unnecessary long. I enjoy the last two segments the most that I can’t really find any negatives to say about them. The story and scares in _The Gawkers_ (dir. Tyler MacIntyre) are so well-done and the addition of stop-motion animation in the beginning makes it quite unique. It's such a nice touch indeed. The film ends with _To Hell and Back_ (dir. Joseph and Vanessa Winters) and I couldn't think of a better way to end it. It's such a blast. There's something seriously nightmarish about the atmosphere and the demons are genuinely scary but the characters bring out the comedic elements which make it a really fun watch. All in all, lots of ups and downs but it’s mostly fun. It's perfectly adequate but I wouldn’t go out of my way to recommend it.
