The V/H/S franchise is a found-footage horror anthology film series that began in 2012, created by Brad Miska, and quickly established itself as a cult favourite for fans of experimental and unsettling horror. Each instalment is framed by a wraparound narrative that ties together a series of short films, all presented in the raw, shaky, and often chaotic style of VHS-era camcorder recordings. The shorts are created by different directors—many of whom have gone on to achieve mainstream success in horror—giving the films a variety of tones, subgenres, and storytelling techniques. From supernatural hauntings to brutal home invasions and bizarre science fiction elements, the franchise thrives on unpredictability and visceral intensity.
Over time, V/H/S has grown into one of the most prominent anthology horror series, spawning multiple sequels including V/H/S/2 (2013), V/H/S: Viral (2014), V/H/S/94 (2021), V/H/S/99 (2022), V/H/S/85 (2023), and V/H/S/Beyond (2024). Each new entry not only updates the central gimmick of “discovered footage” but also reflects the aesthetics, fears, and cultural references of the time period it portrays. The films are known for pushing boundaries in terms of gore, shock value, and experimental storytelling, often blending dark humor with extreme horror. While divisive among critics, the series has carved out a reputation as a playground for innovative horror filmmaking, keeping the anthology tradition alive with its bold, chaotic energy.
