Surprised no one here is talking about this. Check out the review we did on it. We have a NON SPOILER review and then we get into SPOILERS when we announce it.
Review starts at 48:00:00

I liked it, but I absolutely love the first one. I enjoyed the original's darker and more mean spirited tone and I found it a lot creepier overall. I didn't have a problem with the wrap around story or any of the five stories.
However, in the second one, nothing really blew me away. The eye transplant was ok, the zombie one was whatever (just because it's filmed from the zombie's POV doesn't make it groundbreaking and interesting to me), the cult one was solid, and the slumber party alien abduction was pretty good. And the wrap around is very very weak. It felt more legit in the first one. There's a true reason to shift through all those tapes and watch one after another...not in this one to me though.
I don't know...I've listened to the few podcasts who have covered it, including your own, and read reviews after the fact, and I'm just really surprised at the heaps of love the second is getting. And in general, it's a little tiresome how everyone seemed to enjoy the first one for the most part but now take a dump on it whenever they talk about how great the second one is.
Don't get me wrong, I still like it, and I'd give it like a B- or 8/10, but no joke, V/H/S is a straight up 10/10 and one of my favorites of the millenium so far.

And in general, it's a little tiresome how everyone seemed to enjoy the first one for the most part but now take a dump on it whenever they talk about how great the second one is Well I know we are definitely not part of that list. We gave a detailed review of Part 1 and our opinions never changed. If I recall we liked less than 50% of it and still do lol But we all agreed that even the worst story in this one was better than the worst one of Part 1. Sorry you didn;t like it, we really dug it.

Yea like I said, just in general, not specifically pointing out you guys. I like it man, I really do. It just didn't grab me like the first one did.

Yea, hopefully they crank them out one per year. I don't see why not if they keep having new directors contribute or some of them could return later on when they're not busy with main projects. I'm definitely looking forward to more.
