10 Horror Franchises Where Every Movie Is Good
2. V/H/S
The V/H/S franchise is a bit like pizza, because even when it's not that great, it's still pretty good.
That might sound like a back-handed compliment, but V/H/S is basically the horror anthology franchise to rule them all, having produced eight installments in the span of 13 years.
While there's a fundamental inconsistency to horror anthologies that even V/H/S can't escape, each of the eight films has at least a couple of outstanding shorts that make it well worth sitting through the rest.
Yes, even the oft-maligned VHS: Viral.
V/H/S really seems to have hit its stride in recent years with the annual release pattern on Shudder since 2021, and it's frankly impressive that the standard of films on offer can remain pretty good despite such a regular output.
Sure, some of the shorts are rough around the edges and they don't always work, but there's usually plenty of charm and something creative worth singling out.
And even when a short is undeniably a bust, you'll soon enough be watching the next one.
