Plot summary

Continuing the saga of POV madness, dread, and gore documented in V/H/S (2012), this new found-footage horror anthology delves deeper into terrifying uncharted territories. Starting with "Tape 49", a team of private investigators breaks into the house of a missing student, only to discover a mountain of VHS tapes brimming with disturbing raw footage. Then, in "Phase I Clinical Trials", a state-of-the-art optical implant bestows poor Herman with unwanted supernatural-detecting abilities, and in "A Ride in the Park", an extreme biking enthusiast finds himself confronted with an all-out zombie apocalypse. Next, in "Safe Haven", a four-member film crew infiltrates a secret Indonesian cult and unearths horrific, reality-defying revelations. Finally, in "Slumber Party Alien Abduction", a sleepover at a lakeside house goes awry when malevolent extraterrestrials crash the party.—Nick Riganas
