The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

This is an anthology horror franchise made of found-footage recordings. The stories are mostly standalone, with different filmmakers contributing segments, and a few recurring details hint at links between the films. The first movie was a financial hit, later entries had mixed reviews, and reception improved again for the newer installments.

What happens

V/H/S is an American horror anthology franchise that includes nine found footage films, two spin-off films, and one short-form web miniseries. Based on an original concept by Brad Miska, the plot centers on a collection of increasingly disturbing recordings presented in various formats. Produced through collaborations between multiple filmmakers, the installments are largely standalone, though recurring elements suggest connections between some of the films. The original film, V/H/S, received mixed reviews, but was praised for its implementation of found-footage filmmaking and diverse stories, and was a financial success. The next two films in the franchise were met with mixed to generally negative reviews, and were not as financially successful as the first. Though the second film, V/H/S/2, was a success with film critics, it did not earn as much at the box office as its predecessor. The third installment, V/H/S: Viral, was generally negatively received critically, and made even less at the box office than the previous film. Financial information has not been released for the remainder of the films in the franchise, but their critical reception has improved. The fourth film, V/H/S/94, received the most positive reviews of the franchise. The fifth film, V/H/S/99, received lower but still generally positive ratings. The sixth film, V/H/S/85, received generally positive reviews. The seventh film, V/H/S/Beyond, received generally positive reviews. The eighth film, V/H/S/Halloween, also received generally positive reviews. The first spin-off film, Siren, serves as a continuation of one of the segments from the first film. It was met with a general positive critical reception. The Snapchat-released miniseries, titled V/H/S: Video Horror Shorts, received praise for its short-form format and expansion of the franchise to new media. The second spin-off film, Kids vs. Aliens, also served as a continuation of one of the segments from the second film. It was met with a mixed reception. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
