"V/H/S/2" is a properly blood-spattered and chilling collection of shorts -- four films from the folks who made "The Blair Witch Project," "Hobo With a Shotgun," "The Raid" and "You're Next."
The best of them you could certainly see as full-length features, chilling little tastes of a complete vision -- story, characters, horrific situations and visual aesthetic. The worst? Simply generic.
The framing device for these "V/H/S" movies is the discovery of old videotapes. The discoverers here -- a couple of private-eye blackmailers ( Kelsy Abbott, Michael Levine) -- stumble into the cache of some obsessed collector and are shocked by what they see.
Thus, we're lured into the world of "Clinical Trials," about a man ( Adam Wingard of "You're Next") who gets an artificial eye that the manufacturer is wired into so that we can have all this footage of how the eye works and what the fellow sees.
