Synopsis:

“Tape 49” - Directed by Simon Barrett
Searching for a missing student, two private investigators decide to break into a derelict suburban house with the sole purpose of finding clues that could lead to his whereabouts. However, upon arrival they discover an abandoned collection of VHS cassettes stacked in front of a wall of flickering television sets. As they bravely watch the horrific contents of the cassettes, each one more shocking and disturbing than the last, it soon becomes apparent that there may be dark motives behind the student's vanishing. The contents of those VHS cassettes are as follows:

“Phase I Clinical Trials” - Directed by Adam Wingard
A patient has a camera installed in his eye for monitoring and medical research purposes after a car accident damages his eyesight. Unbeknownst to him the camera picks up more than just his standard vision, leading the patient into a terrifying ordeal.

“A Ride in the Park” - Directed by Eduardo Sanchez and Gregg Hale
A cyclist must fight for his life when he discovers a bloodied woman hysterically screaming deep in the forest having been attacked by zombies.

“Safe Haven” - Directed by Gareth Evans and Timo Tjahjanto
A news crew are granted access to the home of an Indonesian cult to report the mysterious goings-on.

“Slumber Party Alien Abduction” - Directed by Jason Eisener
A slumber party turns into a fight for survival when it’s interrupted by a group of dangerous extra terrestrial visitors.

We like it because:

Having witnessed V/H/S/2 triumphantly tear the roof down at this year’s Film4 FrightFest with director Gareth Evans in attendance, we can honestly say that this visceral, spine-chilling horror sequel is guaranteed to thrill audiences furthermore upon its general release. The atmosphere was tantalising so trust us when we say that this is an absolute must-see for all scare-seekers!
