Searching for a missing student, two private investigators break into his house and find collection of VHS tapes. Viewing the horrific contents of each cassette, they realize there may be dark motives behind the student's disappearance.
I have been wanting to see this since I saw the rumors that it would come out! Thank goodness for video on demand! This has one less video than the previous movie. There are only a few familiar faces in the cast including Mindy Robinson and Adam Wingard. Eduardo Sanchez (Blair Witch Project), Adam Wingard (You're Next), Gareth Evans (The Raid: Redemption), Jason Eisener (Hobo with a Shotgun), Timo Tjahjanto (Macabre), and Simon Barrett (You're Next) are some of the more well known directors involved with this one.
Tape 49 directed by Simon Barrett
It starts out interesting with a man video taping a man and woman about to have sex. You find out the man is actually a private investigator. Him and his partner quickly get another case to find a missing guy where they end up finding the tapes. Of course as we get further into the tapes the wraparound segment gets spookier. The end was off the wall and odd, but it was still pretty interesting. 6/10
Clinical Trials directed by Adam Wingard
Well this is an interesting and fun sounding concept. I like how you can see him blanking as opposed to them making it so he unrealistically never blinks. It reminds me a lot of The Eye movies, but just with the eye being a camera. There are some pretty creepy moments that really catch you off guard. The ending was pretty crazy and unexpected. 8/10
A Ride in the Park directed by Eduardo Sanchez and Gregg Hale
I love zombies and this short does them justice. It is fun, has some good twists, and brings something new to the zombie genre. It is a thrill ride in my opinion. I loved the ending to this segment. 8/10
Safe Haven directed by Timo Tjahjanto
I am hearing a lot about this segment and that it is the best of the bunch here. It starts off slower than the rest as it is the longest and allows us to get to know the characters pretty well. There are some interesting twists and turns in this one. When the shit hits the fan it doesn't let down. It is crazy brutal and just pure insanity! That ending! 9/10
Alien Abduction Slumber Party directed by Jason Eisener
It wasn't the craziest or best of the bunch, but it was still fun and entertaining. This one went by too quickly in my opinion. It was more funny than scary also. Although I thought the ending was pretty sad. 7/10
This sequel most of the stories actually made sense and didn't make you guess at what is going on which I felt was an improvement. As an average of all the segments together this is an 8/10. Almost as good as the first one in my opinion. Check it out!
