Bottom Line - Is this worth $10.00


Assuming that the only good stories are "Dante the Great" and "Parallel Monsters" and knowing I am too much of a stick-in-the-mud to watch without paying, are these two segments worth $10.00? I thank you for your opinions.

Short answer: nope

No. I'm watching it now and it is such a terrible movie. I don't know why people are eating this garbage up. People need to check out some better anthologies.

reply

I just watched it last night after watching the first one. Will watch the second part tonight. I have to agree this movie was all over the place and not that enjoyable. By the way there are ways to watch almost anything with spending money (not talking about downloading either). Any other anthologies you would recommend?

reply

I meant without spending money

No, VHS: Viral is not as good as the last two and it's only a little over an hour (even though it's listed as 97 minutes). The magician segment is good, but hold off and rent it for a lower price or wait for Netflix. IMHO

reply

Absolutely not. I just finished watching it and it was a complete waste of money. None of the creativity that was showcased in the other two films was to be found with this one. Completely shoddy, cheap, incoherent, badly acted and badly directed. I'm not gonna sit here and pretend like the first two were horror masterpieces, but they were adequately fun and thrilling experiments that made the most out of their budgets. Viral is just badly made garbage without a hint of self-awareness. Luckily, it is mercifully short at about 76 minutes.


This is my hat now. This is totally my hat.

Not at all. It's only got three segments and minus credits is barely over an hour. I can't believe they're charging full price.

reply

There are two excellent, very inventive segments, and one solidly entertaining one. People devoted time, effort, and money in order to create it, and their livelihood and future projects depend on their movies making a profit. This is a low-budget, indie film, not Avatar. Now, my question to you is: Are you 12? What kind of man steals someone else's work? Grow a pair, you pathetic, entitled piece of crap.

reply

No one said anything about stealing it, what's with the histrionics? Freak. He's asking if he should bother watching it. Geez.

PaOwen...

Were you high while watching this? There was nothing entertaining in this entire film. Your staple for a good movie is "Avatar"? I'm not saying special effects make a film, good writing, plot, and character lines make up a great film. All of which were entirely absent from this film. In short, definitely not worth $10.

reply

As someone who avidly enjoys Indie flicks, this was a piece of garbage, start to finish. I put it just a smidge above Birdemic in effects, and lower than Birdemic in enjoyability. At least Birdemic was funny because it was so bad. This was just sad and depressing.

reply

Thanks to all for the good advice which I sadly did not take. Clearly the producers of this movie understand how to put together a quality film about as well as PaOwen understands how to read a post. Maybe they have gotten tired of people stealing their work and have clearly decided to turn the tables and are now stealing from the audience.
