My Thoughts: This movie would have worked much better without the found footage angle. They could have just done a normal anthology and it would have been amazing. The found footage angle is stretched beyond belief in this.
In each of the tapes we see people strapping on HD cameras, using I-Phones, hidden button cams and all sorts of high tech equipment. Then at some point they all transferred the footage to VHS? Why would anyone do that? Burning a DVD would be easier and make more sense. Also several of the stories feature multi camera views that have been conveniently edited together into a coherent flow. In one story they actually strap a camera to a dog and we're forced to watch everything from a dogs eye point of view. I don't like puppy ears blocking the camera.
The stories on the tapes are all quite good, and if they had been shot using a normal narrative this movie would be a horror classic. As it is now, this is just another found footage entry that will be forgotten soon.
