Amy’s V/H/S Wishlist

Coralie Fargeat (Revenge)

The only director I can think of who could rival Timo Tjahjanto’s level of blood.

Chad Crawford Kinkle (Dementer)

Because I would really like more people to know about this guy.

Sophia Takal (Always Shine)

You’ll notice I put Always Shine there and not the Black Christmas remake, and that’s because Always Shine shows how good Sophia Takal can be. She’s already acted in a V/H/S segment, let’s let her redeem herself by directing a really scary one.

David Amito & Michael Laicini (Antrum)

Let’s see what else these two can do

Wraparound: Cristobal Leon & Joaquin Cocina (The Wolf House)

We all know the frame stories in the V/H/S series are garbage, so let’s really change it up and make it animated.

2 | V/H/S & V/H/S/2

In episode two we tackle the V/H/S movies, which illustrate the age-old adage that you should never get caught up watching home videos when you sneak into someone's house. Just like last time we do a lot of spoiling here, so you've been warned. Enjoy!

The Movies

V/H/S (2012)
