This week, Leslie and Sam delve into V/H/S, a chilling found-footage anthology that brings a sinister twist to the concept of "home movies." The film begins with a group of petty criminals breaking into an abandoned house to retrieve a mysterious VHS tape. What they discover instead is a horrifying collection of recordings, each more twisted than the last. From supernatural entities to visceral body horror, V/H/S keeps viewers on edge with its raw, unsettling approach to storytelling.
Directed by a powerhouse lineup including Matt Bettinelli-Olpin, David Bruckner, Tyler Gillett, and others, V/H/S pushes the boundaries of the anthology format. Each segment stands out with its unique horror style, blending supernatural dread, visceral scares, and relentless tension. With standout performances by Brad Miska, Simon Barrett, Hannah Fierman, and more, the film captures a gritty and immersive experience that has redefined the found-footage genre.
This week’s Strain of the Week, 92 Cookies (Hybrid), is the perfect companion for the eerie ride. Its balanced effects will help you absorb each story’s creeping dread while keeping you grounded for the jumps and shocks.
Join Leslie and Sam as they break down each twisted tale, share their favorite scares, and explore how V/H/S revitalized anthology horror with its innovative, nerve-shredding approach.
