Andy Webster, New York Times: Erratic perspectives and high-strung camera movements predominate, ricocheting from one gory tableau to another. Read more
Rex Reed, New York Observer: A diabolically psychotic, sub-mental and completely unwatchable disaster ... Read more
William Goss, MSN Movies: Just imagine the kind of anthology that might yet be born should all involved be held to the evident highlights of these films so far. Read more
A.A. Dowd, AV Club: For 30 screaming-mad minutes, V/H/S/2 achieves a kind of fever pitch of nightmare hysteria. Read more
Jordan Hoffman, Film.com: What S-VHS lacks in true pyloric valve-loosening fear, it makes up for with some other three letter combos: WTF and LOL. Read more
Justin Lowe, Hollywood Reporter: Less is not necessarily more in this slimmed-down collection. Read more
Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald: V/H/S/ 2 is raw and rough-edged and rude. It is also, for the hardcore horror fan, a total blast. Read more

Tirdad Derakhshani, Philadelphia Inquirer: V/H/S/2 is likely to be as popular with fans as its predecessor. It certainly earns that right. Read more

Nick Schager, Village Voice: There isn't a scare to be found ... Read more
Sean O'Connell, Washington Post: After a lackluster start, V/H/S/2 shifts into a higher gear -- and vastly improves over its 2012 predecessor. Read more
