VHS 99 (2022)

Premise: OH WOW IT’S NINETEEN NINETY NINE! Remember when we used to know by heart the age we’d be by the time it’d be THE YEAR TWO THOUSAND? Well here’s another anthology movie for you.

Under 90 minutes? Huh, no.
Do they say the title? Nah but who was expecting that? It’s not like they’ve said the title on any of the previous 98 movies…

First thing I thought of:

Okay, more: Sooooooo the first short is extremely bad (except for the surprisingly wholesome and progressive way in which the group treats the very obvious would-be-trans-if-they-survived character), but after that all things are redeemed. Sure, the gameshow short could skip the bit in the middle and nothing of value would be lost, sure every single short could have a good editor going “eeeeeh cut this”, but…
Look, I’ve been very open about this humour kryptonite of mine: dumb characters that are not aware of how dumb they are. The last two shorts in the movie (the horny teens one and the dudes-what-end-up-in-heck one) feature some of the DUMBEST people ever to be filmed. I love how my friend summarized it: “they’re so stupid, i wish they weren’t going to die horribly”. Yup.

A simple way to improve it: eeeeh just remove the first segment altogether, or at least trim the hell out of it. There were three music videos too many on that one, and then all the cool stuff happened off camera. Weak shit.

Trivia about the IMDb trivia:

When Lily is being buried alive in the coffin, the sorority girls start filling the grave, the dirt is clearly seen covering Lilly’s face through the carved out cross, yet when she turns on the video camera, there is no dirt on or around her.
