83	indieWIRE Eric Kohn V/H/S 2 smartly contextualizes its nightmarish cavalcade of violence by acknowledging the luxury of enjoying it from a distance.
80	Variety Dennis Harvey This one is shorter and has fewer segments, but also earns a much higher batting average. In fact, there's nary a dud among the four main tales (not including the titled bookends), which each whip elements of terror, macabre humor and the fantastical into a giddy frenzy.
75	Slant Magazine Abhimanyu Das A welcome contrast to the first film's snuff-y atmosphere and general mean-spiritedness, featuring more humor, fewer hateful characters, and occasional twinges of relatable human emotion.
75	The Playlist Drew Taylor S-VHS is a whole lot of fun.
75	Film.com Jordan Hoffman S-VHS isn't as pants-pooping scary as the first, but it is funnier, tighter and slicker.
63	Movie Nation Roger Moore The best of them you could certainly see as full length features, chilling little tastes of a complete vision - story, characters, horrific situations and visual aesthetic. The worst? Simply generic.
50	The Hollywood Reporter Justin Lowe The scares are as hit-or-miss as the filmmaking in the second installment of the “VHS” found-footage horror anthology series.
