The newest addition to the short film horror series V/H/S has returned to scare us all once more.

If you’re a fan of the found footage genre then you’ve no doubt come across V/H/S series before now. Previous installments feature a collection of short films in which unsuspecting souls stumble into something (usually a gruesome demise), as a handheld cameraman frantically runs for their life. 

You’ll be pleased to know then that V/H/S:99 doesn’t disappoint.

Leaning heavily into the urban myth genre, unlucky victims who should probably know better get themselves into all sorts of trouble in 5 gorey, scream-filled 90s style shorts. 

Shredding – Three years on from a freak fire that ended in tragedy, a punk band sneak into the condemned building known as the Colony Underground despite one of them piping up that it’s probably a really, really bad Idea. 

Suicide Bid – A sorority pledge has to complete one final test before she joins the college family – she has to let them bury her alive. 

Kuso – A 90s kids game show is cancelled after a little girl’s leg is mangled. Unfortunately for the presenter, the little girl’s mum isn’t too happy about it. 

Gawkers – A group of teenage boys inadvertently get on the wrong side of the girl next door.

To Hell and Back – On the eve of Y2K, two filmmakers document a once in a millennium ritual, only to find themselves somewhere no one wants to go.

For the millenials watching, the nostalgia is real. 

Tales of the Crypt type ghoulies and demons that could give Buffy a run for her money are ready to jump out at any corner as five original short films are brought to the small screen. The classic V/H/S home video style captures the 90s with an eerie accuracy. The special effects, prosthetics and sets look as though they’ve been buried deep before clawing their way to the earth to resurface all these years later – the perfect nod to terrifying, albeit a tad cheesy, 90s horror.
