VHS Beyond is part of the VHS series of
0:08
found footage horror films um this one
0:14
anthology of found footage horror themed
0:19
stories that are all related to aliens
0:24
abduction um like any anthology horror
0:28
series it's a mixed bag but I got to say
0:31
the standouts you know overshadow the
0:34
ones that are just okay there are two
0:36
major standout uh uh stories in this and
0:40
it's very quick they have a a a guy
0:43
who's like a narrator talking about
0:46
aliens and alien encounters and UFOs
0:50
he's sort of the the bracketing the the
0:53
book book ending device between uh
0:55
videos but the two real standouts that
0:59
sold this for me um and it's I guess
1:02
it's in theaters and on shutter uh today
1:05
October 4th is uh one where a woman
1:09
comes upon an alien vessel and gets
1:14
trapped in it and it takes off and she's
1:17
just in the vehicle having this
1:20
experience and can't control it and she
1:23
is things happen to her it the way it's
1:25
told is really frightening where she's
1:28
in this vehicle she does doesn't
1:30
understand it and then suddenly she sees
1:32
Earth from far away she doesn't know
1:34
what her fate will be and she takes off
1:37
the other one I couldn't believe because
1:40
with the found footage thing you know
1:41
you've gotta the filmmakers have to use
1:44
tricks to go from one shot to the other
1:47
to make sure it is a single camera shot
1:51
this scene is so amazing so a bunch of
1:55
kids are on the ground getting into they
1:58
get into an airplane that takes off
2:00
they're going skydiving yay skydiving
2:03
they're in the plane for this skydiving
2:06
experience suddenly There Are UFOs
2:11
plane there are uh the Air Force is now
2:15
attacking the UFOs their plane gets like
2:20
apart they're falling through the
2:23
air and the guy who's got the camera
2:26
survives you know he he he he put his
2:30
shoot up and he barely survives and then
2:33
is being chased by aliens on the ground
2:36
it's all in one take I I kept looking
2:40
like how did they do this they SC there
2:44
there are places where I'm sure it cut
2:46
some are a couple are kind of obvious
2:49
the others I could not tell that story
2:52
alone it's like there are like 10 or 15
2:55
minutes it was so good um the alien
2:59
effects were kind of mixed but this
3:02
whole thing of skydiving onto the ground
3:04
then it's a battle with aliens it was
3:08
insane so uh I I really enjoyed this I
3:12
love horror anthologies because you know
3:15
when there's one you're like oh that was
3:17
a filler or that one's not so great um
3:20
the next NE they'll there'll be at least
3:22
one that's really good and there's more
3:25
than one there's another one uh I won't
3:27
I won't ruin any uh too many of them but
3:30
um the one where they're skydiving is
3:35
inspired so and there are six of these
3:39
short uh films so um recommend it great
3:44
way to kick off Halloween season with
3:49
horror and um I haven't seen all the VHS
3:53
series but this makes me want to check
3:55
it out so VHS Beyond gets a recommend
3:59
from me I'd say eight out of 10 just for
4:02
the the two that I thought were amazing
4:05
because God the skydiving I I'm sitting
4:08
here watching how did they do this they
4:11
were they were they mixed footage of
4:14
them in a plane the plane breaking apart
4:17
them some of the survivors um falling to
4:21
the ground I mean it was just intense
4:24
that whoever did that sequence should
4:27
should be directing a feature so I
4:29
really enjoyed VHS Beyond uh so check it
4:33
out on shudder which I will subscribe
4:35
I'll subscribe to shudder and full moon
4:38
probably troma because they're all like
4:40
five bucks for the month get my fill of
4:45
horror so there you go and Allan this is
4:47
too scary for you is it it'll what what
4:51
you describe sounds really interesting
4:53
no it's actually really you know it's
4:55
not like I mean there's jump scares for
4:57
sure there are a couple jump scares that
4:59
got me but yeah um I I really liked it
5:04
so there you go I just it was that one
5:06
