10 Best Horror Anthology Movies
10. V/H/S
By the time this movie released in 2012, the VHS video format was long gone and completely dead, which gave this film a nice nostalgic feeling. The shorts don't reflect the same vibe, but they do give you various interesting scenarios with some intense gore and creative set-ups. It even went on to get plenty of sequels, with one still in the works right now.
The holding device of the first movie centres on a group of erratic vandals who are hired by an anonymous source to break into a house and steal a collection of VHS tapes. Of Course, they end up watching them during the process. The stories on these VHS tapes range from believable domestic horrors, to monstrous creature features.
The first short - titled Amateur Night - even went on to produce a feature-length spin-off, and it's understandable as this story was easily the highlight of the flick.
While each short narrative is a tonne of scary fun, the framing device is what makes the movie so fascinating, as you get glimpses into the criminal's activities between each short, and uncover a sinister energy behind the tapes.
V/H/S is a little rough around the edges, but the film and its sequels are a must-see for horror movie fans.
