I could forgive the aesthetics of the film if the stories were good but they were all overly-long and boring. Why the hell were these incidents on VHS anyway? Some of the people in the films had touchscreen phones so wouldn't they have had HD camcorders shooting digitally? Hell one if them was filmed with special magic camera glasses. And yet they transferred it to VHS?

if you haven't seen it its basically two hours of SHAKY SHAKY SHOUT SHAKY SCREAM YELL SHAKY SHAKY FAKE TRACKING PROBLEMS. EJECT.
Thanks for the review Paul. Thats one film thats coming off my wish list.

Just watched Ladybird Ladybird which was superb. An accurate portrayal of a flawed legal system destroying innocent people's lives and an acting tour de force too

To be fair only two of the stories were guilty of that but that was enough. I can't stand found footage anyway so this had to do something exta special for me to like it. But yeah, rubbish. Rik'll love it
