Pretty sloppy presentation...but some of the stories had potential.

I'm not the biggest fan of "found footage" films. Too often they are just an excuse for a cheap gimmick that involves POV-style camera work and story, character, and plot are always quick to suffer and be left in the dust. The "V/H/S/"films do little to not fall down this trap as the entire franchise is built on short, anthology collection of tales that are all about asking the question, "Wouldn't it be cool if we saw this from the perspective of nutjobs who film every aspect of their lives?" The first two films are pretty lazy and forgettable, in my book, and this one, essentially, is not much different. There's no real central story hub that the other stories branch off from like in the previous two and the editing is chaotic, sloppy, and an almost incoherent mess. However, and I found this shocking, the stories are actually better constructed than they've been in the other films.

Granted, the stories are still far from being grand tales but they are easier to digest and are not just quickly thrown together events made to utilize the gimmick. I will admit that I found the central story awful, terribly put together, and a complete waste of time but the other stories—ones that involve a magician with an evil cloak, demon battling skaters, and a dude that discovers a parallel world—to be fairly decent. Sure, some of them don't live up to the potential they have, suffer all the usual pitfalls that "found footage" films suffer from, and, sometimes, just end on an outright silly note but they have more direction than the other films have offered.

While there is clearly some improvement in this third film, the final product is still a really sloppy one and is very poorly constructed. The movie feels incomplete (maybe due to a whole story being edited out before it hit the Video On Demand market) and comes off like a quick, needless sequel.

Hi! The name is Rev. Ron and if you feel like reading more of my rants, ramblings, bad jokes, geek references, and other movie reviews (like a more in-depth look at "V/H/S/: Viral" and other films from this franchise) you can visit my blog at revronmovies.blogspot.com. If you don't want to do that because your DVR is filled to bursting and you need to spend your time watching all those episodes of "Pawn Stars" you recorded, I completely understand if you don't visit.

What happened with this series?

VHS2 is one of the best horror films I've seen in recent memory. It tightened the overlong editing of the first movie and added genuinely creepy moments. I was looking forward to watching VHS: Viral after seeing VHS2, because I thought they'd gotten a solid pattern down. But no.

No, instead you get skateboarding teens looking "totally rad" while fighting a group of cultists (seriously.) And then, after fending off the angry mob, the 15-year-old boys skate home.

VHS: Viral offers four stories: the magician story, the multi-universe story, the aforementioned skateboarding brats yarn, and a wraparound that ties all these vignettes together. These stories all stink except for "Parallel Monsters," which is good enough to warrant its own film.

If you can, watch "Parallel Monsters" without wasting your time with the rest of this sequel.

Pretty much pointless...

Granted, I can't really claim to have been much of a fan of the past movies as a whole. Sure, there were parts of the previous "V/H/S" movies that were interesting, but as a wholesome movie package, not so much.

I was given the chance to watch "V/H/S Viral" in 2019, and I hadn't even heard about it before now. So that just goes to prove the impact of the franchise, or not huh? Well, I said yes to sit down and watch "V/H/S Viral" having sort of an idea of what I was getting myself into here.

Again it is an anthology of stories that are tied together by a narrative as well, much akin to the previous movies. However, while following the same manuscript and how-to-make-an-anthology recipe, then "V/H/S Viral" just didn't have as much appeal as the previous movies, especially the second movie in the franchise.

This seemed like a scramble of different stories put together, certainly, but there was little given to the audience in terms of building up the characters or setting the scene, so it was straight into the stories and action, for better or worse. It didn't really work out all that great, because the characters were essentially pointless and shallow, offering nothing to the audience to relate to.

The different segments were of very varied quality and interest, but overall just landed well below a mediocre value. In fact, the entire stew of this movie just was dragged down by a pointless narrative and equally pointless characters. Plus the fact that there was nothing scary here at all, well, maybe except for the super annoying added layer of broken VHS quality, which really was getting on my nerves towards the end.

Stay well clear of the 2014 "V/H/S Viral", because it really isn't worth the time or effort.
