So I paid $12 because I couldn't wait and I paid extra to watch it in 1080, only to feel kind of disappointed after I finished it
First off, there are only 4 stories plus the surrounding story as where the original had 5 plus the surrounding. Secondly, VHS2 is crazy gory! Like so gory, a few times I gagged and had to pause it to make sure nothing was going to come up. The first one was not gory at all, so I was caught off guard especially because it seems like the main focus of VHS2 was to see how gory they could get. And third, although the quality was way better, the Alien story was really cheap looking. I actually thought the Alien one was the worse because you could not tell what the hell was going on. It was all shaky, broken camera footage through the majority of the story! But the final and most important thing is VHS2 didn't get in my head like the first. VHS2 was fun, gory, entertaining and funny, but it wasn't scary to me like the first was. Okay Well, the story about the cult did get to me and the first with the eye made me jump quite a bit . Also the surrounding story was definitely creepier than the first So, that's why I still had to give it a high score because overall, it was still a really good found footage style horror (except for the alien one). I just think that if the first one scared you, then you'll probably find VHS2 to be a little more on the "silly" side.
