Last night I was locked into science class and my weekly
assignment. When in that zone, I struggle to get motivated to do any type of
writing or reviewing. That was a shame because I still have some stuff from the
weekend to catch up on. The next one up from that backlog is the 2014 sequel
V/H/S: Viral.
Plot/ Follows fame-obsessed teens that unwittingly become
stars of the next Internet sensation.
As a fan of the first two installments of the V/H/S series,
I was decently excited to pick this one up when it came out. Unfortunately,
that excitement quickly deteriorated once I started watching it. Unlike the
first two entries, this one has no coherent moments and is a rather large mess.
In fact, I would say that the only redeeming quality is the initial segment
about Dante the Great. While not perfect, it did make some sense and was
interesting. Other than that, the film felt beyond low budget with poor
scripting, uneven editing, poor special effect, and some bad characterization
(not sure if that was the script, acting, or both). In the end, stay away, and
if you were a fan of the first two movies, stay far away from this one.
