"see if you can guess which one is my least favorite" proceeds to absolute dump on the entirety of the technogod segment

[@certifiedhero7]

Oh man that one is absolutely a comedy segment. A hilariously satirical take on how technology can destroy your life. I got crazy Tim & Eric vibes the whole way through. The scattered applause at the end was the icing on the cake 😂🤣

[@DeerJesus5267]

In a movie filled with nothing but fever dream horror shorts it really makes itself known 😂

[@maerhodes8552]

The technogod one was absolutely abysmal, to be fair. It’s usually like that with most transhumanist ideals. It’s like… if you took the idea of god, and religion, and then attempted to rebirth it. It’s kind of a futile effort because not only is it kind of moot to replicate, the copy will always be a butchered hack of it.

[@VertigoIncline-tv2rd]

I was about to recommend this movie to friends but I can't justify putting anyone else through those 10 mins even if the other skits were so good.

[@Vulkanprimarch]

When watching that segement. I hated that character for screaming into a bad microphone for so long. I clapped when she died TOO!

[@R77ification]

A horror segment based on the 1985 Mexico City earthquake was a surprise. Research was clearly made for this, since ancient stuff being buried under Mexico City IS a real thing. There are various museum areas in the city that displays this. Similar case like the Paris catacombs.

[@mr.andrewpuppet9491]

Neat trivia Thanks😙

[@theaxe7562]

Love that segment but I feel the obligation to clarify a critical point that bother me the whole time. Mictlán is the name of the Mexica underworld, not the name of the lord of the death. And the Mictlán was governed by two deities, Mictlantecutli and Mictlancihuatl. Their name's literally translates to "The Lord and Lady of the Mictlán" respectively. Another fun fact that was wasted, there's an specific deity who is responsible for the earthquakes for the Mexica. That is Tepeyolot, "The heart of the mountain", who is a Giant Black Jaguar whose roar can be heard when the earth quakes.

[@FoxtaleHi]

​i still dont get how the rescuer woman was already a worshipper?

[@zanegianlu]

[@BohoAstronaut]

The kids at the lake is my favorite segment of the entire vhs series. I've spent way too much time imagining what would happen in real life if an immortal person was serving time and like 100 years later the prison is so confused. Or instead of a life sentence Ruth is given like 80 years per person she killed so in a few hundred years the prison just has to let her go. And then Ruth tracks down the original people from the lake she tried to kill and it starts this centuries long back and forth revenge war.

Yeah I watched all in one day, back to back, V/H/S is now by far my favourite franchise, it used to be Saw, which Saw X was amazing, but V/H/S is super creative and there's something for everyone in there. V/H/S/85 is definitely my favourite in the franchise, cannot wait to see what they cook up in this year's sci-fi themed V/H/S film!

Mictlan is Mictlantecuhtli the weird thing about him and his wife is although they are Aztec gods of the dead, the Aztecs believed there was no true death. You live on after death. And either you will end up in a number of hell-like places or heaven-like places. Though he and his wife mainly were storied to rule the Aztec underworld. So people would basically be like the ppl in the movie, in the way of them dying and waking up the way they died. If they died of a broken neck, they'd wake up with a broken neck. Heart cut out, they'd wake up with their heart cut out. Died beheaded, wake up beheaded. I thought it was kinda interesting how much the stories kept a theme that somewhat identified with the Aztec's god of death. Ppl being killed as a sacrifice to him. And even with the TCKNOGOD entry, the woman knew of it but couldn't see it until she was in its world and she couldn't escape once she saw it. Much like Mictlantecuhtli and a few other gods. And it made me wonder if this was what the filmmakers were trying to do, or was it just a coincidence?

[@elijahjarman2837]

Hmmm, an interesting point made

[@tylermckillop2339]

[@WhitneyDahlin]

Horror anthologies are the superior type of horror media! Especially compared to Western horror movies. Western horror movies are also cliche now. They aren't doing anything experimental pretty much. They're all pretty boring honestly. But with anthologies they can be a lot more creative and try out different horror ideas. So they end up being a lot scarier and better in general. But Hollywood just wants to play it safe. That's why we've gotten like 10 different demon or exorcism movies in the last 2 years LMAO in my opinion Asian horror movies are far superior to any Western horror media. They're just on another level.

[@Saintz1408]

@@WhitneyDahlin Absolutely agree, as much as I enjoyed the Nun 2 I was not enthused for so many more exorcism type movies, it just got so played out. Watching the same thing over and over wasn’t exciting. As you said Asian horror are amazing maybe underrated, movies like A tale of two sister and Ju on are imprinted in my mind. Moreover, I do wish we get some more found footage movies, those movies play on mystery in such a good way.

[@robcoguy6909]

VHS 94, although divisively reviewed when it first came out, ended up being the cult classic standout of the series, but this one might be its successor. I got some WNUF vibes from this one.

[@chucklebutt4470]

[@jukeboxxgamer]

Man i always forget the chapters in these movies till you do a deep dive. That lake scene with the snipers had me so tense through the entire plot, more than any other VHS segment. This is a great summary but it doesn't do the pacing of that scene justice. It's not the goriest, its not the most supernatural, but the idea of getting taken out and having no idea where it's coming from was terrifying

What you didn't mention is that the last one with the psychic boy is part of the black phone universe. The sister the guy was talking about was the kids in the movie's mom, making the boy their cousin. The little girl was psychic too that's how she was able to save her brother. However it is inconsistent continuity wise because the guy they got to play the murderous cop also played Ethan Hawkes brother who he killed so idk how that works story wise lol.

[@MrBeardsley]

“TKNOGOD” was bad on several levels, aside from the ham-fisted message it didn’t fit the 1985 theme at all. In the mid ‘80s things like home computers and cellphones were luxury items, the closest thing to “technology worship” on the public’s mind was concerns about video game addiction. And the whole VR thing was straight out of Lawnmower Man or that one episode of The X-Files, plus that style of solipsistic performance art reeks of ‘90s pretentiousness. I wouldn’t be surprised if this had been left on the cutting room floor from either 94 or 99 and got dropped in here to pad it out to full length.
