      [first lines of "A Ride in the Park"]

      Biker: [answering headset] Hey, babe!

      Biker's Girlfriend: Don't "hey babe" me, Mike Sullivan. We're supposed to be having breakfast.

      Biker: Yeah, but it's a beautiful day; I just want to take the bike out for a spin.

      Biker's Girlfriend: I wanted you to take *me* for a spin. You know, you ride that bike more than you ride me.

    An Improvement Over the First
    V/H/S 2 manages to fix the faults of the first. It's shorter and takes the grungy, exploitative snuff film tone of V/H/S and adds more excitement and humor. The quality of the shorts this time around are much more consistent, but they are still a mixed bag. The first short "Phase I: Clinical Trials" is average at best, but it mixed in a bit of humor which I liked. "A Ride in the Park" was fantastic and incredibly unique in it's use of the first person POV. It was my favorite of the four segments. "Safe Haven" is a close second with countless WTF moments. I would have loved a feature length version of this one. The weakest entry was the last, "Slumber Party Alien Abduction". It ineffectively used loud noises and bright lights to generate scares and it just didn't work for me. The wrap around story "Tape 49" was good, but I liked the ambiguity of the first films "Tape 56" better. V/H/S 2 added fun to the series and I hope these films continue.
