Review of V/H/S Viral

V/H/S Viral (2014)
3/10
REALLY??? The firecrackers are CGI???? (contains minor spoilers)
24 October 2014
Warning: Spoilers
As mentioned by other reviewers before: the first and the second segments are fine, although some parts are quite bizarre (like the flying Antichrist zeppelin and the genitals from hell)- and some parts even do look good (e.g. the parallel Universe machine).

But the third story, which seems to take place at the same set as the end of the wrap-around-story, is some of the worst written, badly filmed and uninspired piece of horror i have ever seen.

Additionally the wrap-around-story does not make much sense with its squeezed-in, going off-topic scenes and it's CGI generated picture glitches.

Really? CGI VHS static and CGI firecrackers? And I am not speaking of those skeleton exploding effects. I am speaking of the fire cracker one of these fools throws around before the madness happens. You could not do this by practical effects and save some money for a movie which after all looks quite cheap?

Conclusion: I really liked both its predecessors, but this movie is a huge wast of time - although its only 80 minutes long. I think i caught the flu... or some other virus ;-)

Please note: This is my first review and i am not a native speaker -> so be generous and let me know how i can improve my reviewing and writing skills.
