    All-Ages 'V/H/S/2' Trailer: Great Intensity, Without Much Blood

    By Russ Fischer May 21st, 2013

    I liked the original V/H/S because it was a small, weird collection of shorts. The sequel, V/H/S/2, is bigger and much more bold than the first, with bigger scope and some ideas that are far more weird. It doesn't have quite the same sense of intimate disquiet, but it has some much more monstrous action.…

    'V/H/S/2' Red-Band Trailer: Blood And Mayhem

    By Angie Han May 16th, 2013

    Anthologies of any kind run the risk of unevenness, just because they're composed of so many disparate parts. But the red-band trailer for V/H/S/2, at least, looks consistently terrifying. It's two minutes of great, gory scares, with tons of blood and a smattering of nudity -- which means, yes, that it's very much NSFW. Watch…

  • 'The Innkeepers' Director Ti West Says Sci-Fi Film 'The Side Effects' Is Financed And Partially Cast

    By Russ Fischer January 17th, 2012

    Indie horror director Ti West tends to be divisive. I think that's in part because he has a flair for self-promotion and also because his most well-known film, The House of the Devil, was a very slow burn of a horror/thriller that featured an '80s aesthetic, which led to accusations of pretension and a certain…
