10 Horror Movie Franchises That Should Have Stopped At One Film

10. V/H/S

V/H/S is a whacky adventure. Releasing at the tail end of the found-footage boom in 2013, V/H/S was an anthology film that focused on various different horror tales all woven together with an overarching narrative. It proved surprisingly effective; however, the sequels were...subpar to say the least.

V/H/S 2 veered too far into the fantastical, and while it did implement some clever ideas such as the GoPro zombie story, the overall film felt like a cluster bomb of nonsense. The third film in the series took the film "VIRAL" and it ultimately fell completely flat.

Neither of these sequels lived up to the hype brought on by the first film. It was such a clever idea to have horror filmmakers like Adam Wingard and David Bruckner direct horror short films and then stitch them together into one spooky package. Unfortunately, the idea just didn't have legs and the gimmick ran its course very quickly.
