After the massive failure of "Viral" where was the "V/H/S" saga going to go? "99" and "94" was pushing towards a certain direction of the 90's that didn't exist, and seemed to be more politically motivated then horror driven ("Scare Package 2" comes to mind). So, it's been another year and it seems Shudder is gonna make Halloween "V/H/S" season for as long as nostalgia lasts. I, for one, am happy about it, but, let's be realistic here; each movie is like the last few years of SNL: One good bit per episode.
The latest entry is fine and you'll get your horror fun filled. My main issue is the lack of care and motivation that was in the previous entries. Yeah, "Viral" was bad, but "Parallel Monsters" was so well put together and driven by fun it was hard to not like it.
With each entry, it feels like the care and appreciation of the previous installments gets less and less until finally they just plop a camera down and call it a day.
"85" was fun, there's one really solid segment and two that work well, but then the rest feel slapped together and not heart. Also, I get it's 1985, but showcase those special effects!
