Well folks, there you have it. The entire “V/H/S” franchise review.
I have to say I’ve really enjoyed looking back over this franchise.
I credit this series with reigniting peoples interest in Horror anthology films, just look at the amount of anthology films we’ve had since the first films release in 2012., I don’t think that it’s just a coincidence, I’m also not complaining as I love Horror anthologies.
The saddening thing is though is that a franchise that had so much potential behind it that it was bursting with origin al and fresh stories just died out after just three films, with the last release being a complete and utter failure.
You look around today and Horror short films are big news again, these short films could have been introduced to us via the “V/H/S” series had it kept up it’s high quality output. I still think the franchise could make a strong comeback, either through film, TV or even comics.
I can’t not talk about the “V/H/S” spin off film, “SiREN”, a full feature version of the highly popular “Amateur Night” segment with Hannah Fierman returning to the role. Whilst not a found footage film I must say I still enjoyed it very much and urge you to watch it if you enjoyed the original segment.
The “V/H/S” franchise started with a bang and just as quickly fizzled out, I think that partly has to do with all three films being released between 2012-2014. Like I said I don’t see why it can’t make a comeback, especially with Horror shorts and Horror anthology being as popular as they are right now.
