Description: “V/H/S/94,” released in 2021, marks the return of the popular horror anthology series after a seven-year hiatus. This latest installment revives the franchise, offering a mix of chilling and diverse short stories tied together by a found-footage theme. While it doesn’t quite match the quality of the second film in the series, it delivers a seasonally fitting collection of macabre tales for horror enthusiasts. The movie premiered on the streaming platform Shudder on October 6, 2021.
The film opens with a framing story titled “Holy Hell,” directed by Jennifer Reeder, which follows a SWAT team raiding a mysterious compound filled with eerie VHS tapes. The other segments vary in tone and effectiveness. Chloe Okuno’s “Storm Drain” explores the unsettling rumors of a “rat-man” lurking in sewer tunnels, while Simon Barrett’s “The Wake” takes a dark turn as a funeral home employee discovers that the corpse she’s overseeing is far from peaceful.
The standout segment is Timo Tjahjanto’s “The Subject,” a wild, over-the-top mad scientist story filled with chaotic energy and grotesque surgical experiments. Unlike the other segments, this one is entirely in Indonesian, adding a unique flair to the anthology.
Overall, “V/H/S/94” offers a mix of scares, suspense, and occasional silliness, making it a solid addition to the horror anthology genre.
