V/H/S: Viral

if you like VHS1 and 2 you better stay away from this one.... I only ask one think: WHY...

I hate to say it but VHS Viral is a subpar final effort into the series. Where as I enjoyed at least one segment greatly in the previous movies this isn't the case here. The wrap-around this time is easily the worst of them and ran it into the ground. They handle what ever idea they had very poorly and even have useless filler in it and don't get me started on the silly ending! Anyways, the first actual tape wasn't my cup of tea and another waste of concept. They also fail to keep it pure found footage. The segment from Nacho Vigalondo (who is probably the most acclaimed of the directors here) is a more nasty twist on his Timecrimes. If you wondered where the sci-fi footage for 'Open Windows' was made, look no further. Coming out as the best entry it's still nothing to write home about and gets a tad bit too far into kitsch territory (at least the effect works makes it so). Closing out the collection is a GoPro PoV skate movie set in Tijuana where hell breaks loose. Unfortunatley it overstays it's welcome and doesn't really do much. Given how great Benson and Moorhead's Resolution was it's certainly a bummer.
