VHS (2012)

Premise: Whoa, it’s 2012! According to some wrong reading of the mayan’s calendar, the world should be OVER soon!!! Also this is an ANTHOLOGY horror movie with VHS TAPES, some QUALITY WHIPLASH and a TON OF TITS CAUSE IT’S THE LATE AUGHTS/EARLY TWO-THOUSAND-AND-TENS!! Woooo! We’re doing this!

Under 90 minutes? Nope, it’s (surprisingly?) almost two hours long.
Do they say the title? Yeah!

First thing I thought of:

Okay, more: Technically this is a rewatch, because I did go to the cinema when this was first out, I did remember the first segment and uh, watching the movie itself. I did not remember anything else other than that, which is kind of confusing? I only ended up rewatching because my friend wanted to see it, so.
Anyway: a perfectly cromulent found footage movie, with both the best and worst the genre can give you: extremely cheap set ups + resolutions, tits just cause, but also dread and “did i see something in the background?” plus “this feels slightly too real and uncomfortable”.
Obvious winners, the first and last segments in the movie.

A simple way to improve it: I’ll say the whole late aughts thing felt very very very dated, but at least we do not get gay jokes/transphobic jokes so I guess that’s something?

Trivia about the IMDb trivia:

On “10/31/1998”, one of the characters, the Soldier, was wearing digital camouflage pants. Digital camouflage did not come out until after 2001/02.

WHOA are you telling me someone wasn’t keeping a close eye on NINE-ELEVEN-NEVER-FORGET dates while filming this 20 cents budget movie? Good thing you were there to correct them, gun guy!
That said,
