V/H/S (2012)

Hey Cannon Cruisers fans! This week, we crack open V/H/S (2012), the analog horror anthology that reignited the found-footage craze. Directed by a lineup of rising filmmakers including Adam Wingard, Ti West, David Bruckner, and the Radio Silence collective, the film stitches together six disturbing shorts framed by a story of petty criminals breaking into a house to steal a mysterious VHS tape. We dig into each segment’s tone and effectiveness, from the unforgettable Amateur Night to the eerie Tuesday the 17th, and talk about what worked, what dragged, and how the series helped launch a new generation of horror directors. With its grainy style, uneven pacing, and flashes of brilliance, V/H/S stands as a messy but fascinating start to a modern horror franchise.
