★★☆☆☆ The anthology movie has been a staple of the horror genre for several decades, with its origins creeping back even further to the days of expressionist Germany. Embracing that very same tradition, whilst simultaneously looking to rejuvenate it for the 21st century and tip a nostalgic hat to grimy 1980s 'video nasty' cinema, is the aptly-titled V/H/S (2012). Now arriving on DVD and Blu-ray following a brief appearance in UK cinemas, the movie features segments from established filmmakers such as Adam Wingard, David Bruckner, Ti West, Glenn McQuaid, Joe Swanberg, as well as collaborative directing troupe Radio Silence.

First there was V/H/S, then there was S-vhs, now comes the upgrade in technology we've all been waiting for, the very creepy Dv! We have an exclusive look at this new found footage thriller written, directed by, and starring legendary filmmaker Evan Jacobs as a serial killer who documents his many murders with an old Dv camera, only to find that he is being haunted by the spirit of one of his past victims. Check out the trailer and poster for this scary first installment of what is a planned trilogy before it arrives in select theaters this fall.
Dv Trailer
Lensed in complete secrecy in various locales around California, filmmaker Evan Jacobs wanted the film to have the same vibe as the movies (V/H/S and S-vhs) that inspired it.

V/H/S
Review by Andrew MacArthur
Stars: Calvin Reeder, Joe Swanberg, Jas Sams | Directed by Ti West, Glenn McQuaid, Adam Wingard, David Bruckner, Joe Swanberg, Radio Silence
Found footage horror V/H/S has completely revitalised a played-out, repetitive style of filmmaking with six chilling anthology tales. Ti West (House of The Devil), Glenn McQuaid (I Sell The Dead) and Adam Wingard (A Horrible Way To Die) are just three of the directors to contribute to this chilling anthology.
V/H/S opens with a group of criminals assaulting young women and vandalising property. They are hired by an anonymous client to break into an abandoned house and obtain a mysterious video tape. The group begin to work their way through a series of terrifying tapes, each revealing a different short film. V/H/S manages to fuse so many horror sub-genres together in an innovative and chilling manner, »

V/H/S, 2012.
Directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin, David Bruckner, Tyler Gillet, Justin Martinez, Glenn McQuaid, Radio Silence, Joe Swanberg, Chad Villella, Ti West and Adam Wingard.
Starring Calvin Reeder, Lane Hughes, Mike Donlan, Hannah Fierman and Joe Swanberg.
Synopsis:
When a group of misfits is hired by an unknown third party to burglarize a desolate house and acquire a rare VHS tape, they discover more found footage than they bargained for.
Living in the UK often means that films come out with a lot of hype surrounding them. If you know horror movie lovers, then you won't have escaped the hype that V/H/S brought last year. It seemed I couldn't go to a social media channel without hearing something about this movie and how it 're-defined' horror anthologies. Sadly, some of these films just don't live up to the hype they get - and V/H/S is one of them. »

Django Unchained (18)
(Quentin Tarantino, 2012, Us) Jamie Foxx, Christoph Waltz, Leonardo DiCaprio, Samuel L Jackson, Kerry Washington. 165 mins
Few directors would have the imagination, the guts or the resources to reimagine America's slaving past as a spaghetti western/blaxploitation thriller, but the result is Tarantino's most politically provocative movie, and one of his most entertaining – up to a point. Foxx's odyssey from captive slave to mythical avenger, enabled by Waltz's liberal German "dentist", is often an exhilarating ride, though the action is constantly slowed up by Tarantino's love of his own dialogue – if only he'd kept that chained in.
The Sessions (15)
(Ben Lewin, 2012, Us) John Hawkes, Helen Hunt, William H Macy. 93 mins

Directors: Radio Silence, David Bruckner, Glenn McQuaid, Joe Swanberg, Ti West, Adam Wingard
Cast: Calvin Reeder, Lane Hughes, Adam Win
Running time: 116 minutes
Certificate: 18
Synopsis: When a gang of degenerates break into a house to steal a VHS tape, they find stacks more, each of which contains footage of something horrific…
Let’s be honest – the found-footage movie has had its day. In fact, of the countless examples to have surfaced since The Blair Witch Project made it fashionable about 100 years ago, only a few have made the format worthy of our attention. Even the better ones – Cloverfield or Chronicle, for instance – have suffered the problems of simple logic that hound almost every found-footage production to date. Whilst the format undoubtedly adds a little realism, the same old question lingers: ‘In the face of mortal danger, why the in name of effing Christ are you still filming? And who the hell is editing this together? »

Review Ryan Lambie Jan 18, 2013
An anthology of five videotaped tales of terror, V/H/S provides an uneven but chilling evening’s entertainment, Ryan writes...
A little like German children's book Struwwelpeter, V/H/S is a collection of cautionary tales, each demonstrating what happens to 20-something boys and girls when they do something naughty. In its anthology of five stories, all tied together by a sixth framing narrative, we're shown the dangers of entering strange houses, wandering into the woods, chatting up strangers in bars, and other youthful and deadly pursuits.
The collective effort of several directors, including Adam Wingard, Joe Swanberg and Ti West, V/H/S (which possibly stands for Various Horror Stories) is a new take on the kinds of portmanteau horror features we seldom see any more - Asylum, The House That Dripped Blood or Tales From The Crypt are a few great examples.

Totally meta! Magnolia just announced that V/H/S will be available on VHS format in the U.S. I am excited! My Vcr has been feeling lonely lately and is totally sick of playing the Young Ones anthology. No word on when, where, or how many, but fingers crossed it will be soon.
V/H/S was released in the U.K. back in December, see pics below. Odds are it will look quite a bit like this. The Brits really do get everything cool first.
In case you missed it, V/H/S is a found –footage horror anthology written and directed by Adam Wingard (The ABC’s of Death, You’re Next, A Horrible Way to Die), David Bruckner (The Signal), Ti West (The Innkeepers, The House of the Devil), Glenn McQuaid (I Sell the Dead), Joe Swanberg (Autoerotic, The Zone) and Radio Silence.
