If you've watched any of these, then you know they're a mixed bag at best. I've seen them all, and this is the worst one they've ever published.
You can usually rely on them for something interesting, some concept that's either satisfying in itself or could be taken in a different direction in a full movie, but this one has nothing at all. For more than a decade, it's been a platform for established directors to do something wild that they wouldn't otherwise have the opportunity to do anymore, or for newcomers to shoot for something memorable to get people's attention. Now, it feels like the format itself has become cover: do anything, and nobody will care if it's bad because it's "only V/H/S".
That's fine if it at least one person turns up with something good, but this time everybody said, "But... I thought *you* were going to do a decent segment!" and unfortunately for them all, nobody did. The closest that any of them comes to a good idea is "Dreamkiller", which manages to mention a much better idea in its own script for what might be going on, before deciding on something duller as its actual plot instead.
