If you’re looking for a horror movie which features a doomed house break-in, a doomed night of drunken revelry, a doomed second honeymoon, a doomed walk in the woods, a doomed long distance relationship, and a doomed attempt to attend a Halloween party, then look no further than V/H/S (actually, there’s little point looking anywhere else). This Sundance-screened, found footage anthology film, which is currently available on VOD and debuts to cinemas tomorrow was directed by, amongst others, Ti West (The Innkeepers), Glenn McQuaid (I Sell The Dead), and Joe Swanberg, who also stars in West’s sequence.
