Briefly: I’ve been a big fan of Magnet’s V/H/S series so far. The first film was an extremely interesting way to tie some (good and bad) horror shorts together, while the second was an all-around fantastic piece of cinema.

Now, another year has passed, and it’s almost time for the series’ next instalment, V/H/S Viral to hit VOD. Following the reveal of the film’s poster a few days back, Magnet has just release the official red-band trailer:

This year’s compilation comes from the likes of Marcel Sarmiento, Gregg Bishop, Nacho Vigalondo, Justin Benson, Aaron Moorhead, and Todd Lincoln, and will hit VOD on October 23rd, and limited theatres on November 21st. In the film “A police chase after a deranged ice cream truck has captivated the attention of the greater Los Angeles area. Dozens of fame-obsessed teens flock to the streets with their video cameras and camera phones, hell-bent on capturing the next viral video. But there is something far more sinister occurring in the streets of L.A. than a simple police chase. A resounding effect is created onto all those obsessed with capturing salacious footage for no other purpose than to amuse or titillate. Soon the discovery becomes that they themselves are the stars of the next video, one where they face their own death.”

Remember that GoPro zombie from the second film? Man that was cool.

Warning: In case you missed the “Red-Band” in the title, the trailer below is very NSFW. If you’re squeamish or are simply not fond of grotesque imagery, stay far away from this one.

With just a few weeks to go until V/H/S/2 hits VOD, Magnet has released the first red-band trailer for the film. It’s very red-band, and is filled with disturbing clips from each short featured in the anthology. If you were a fan of the first movie, V/H/S/2 looks to have stepped up its game in almost every way.

V/H/S/2 hits VOD on June 6th, theatres on July 12th, and features segments by Jason Eisner (Hobo With a Shotgun), Eduardo Sanchez and Gregg Hale (The Blair Witch Project), Gareth Evans (The Raid), Timo Tjahjanto (Macabre), and Adam Wingard and Simon Barrett (A Horrible Way to Die). Watch the red-band trailer below, and let us know what you think!

Inside a darkened house looms a column of TVs littered with VHS tapes, a pagan shrine to forgotten analog gods. The screens crackle and pop endlessly with monochrome vistas of static—white noise permeating the brain and fogging concentration. But you must fight the urge to relax: this is no mere movie night. Those obsolete spools contain more than just magnetic tape. They are imprinted with the very soul of evil.
 
From the demented minds that brought you last year’s V/H/S comes V/H/S/2, an all-new anthology of dread, madness, and gore. This follow-up ventures even further down the demented path blazed by its predecessor, discovering new and terrifying territory in the genre. This is modern horror at its most inventive, shrewdly subverting our expectations about viral videos in ways that are just as satisfying as they are sadistic. The result is the rarest of all tapes—a second generation with no loss of quality.

Magnet releasing announced today that the sequel to last year’s popular horror anthology V/H/S will be hitting theatres (and VOD) this Summer. You’ll be able to check this one out June 6th on VOD, and theatre-dwellers will get their chance on July 12th.

 

The first teaser for the film (then called S-VHS) released back in January, and as expected is freaky as hell. This sequel will feature segments by Jason Eisner (Hobo With a Shotgun), Eduardo Sanchez & Gregg Hale (The Blair Witch Project), Gareth Evans (The Raid), Timo Tjahjanto (Macabre), and Adam Wingard and Simon Barrett (A Horrible Way to Die).

 

Two new stills from the film have also been released! Check them out below, and let us know what you think! Were you a fan of the first film?
