V/H/S/99 is the latest found footage anthology in this series and, as the title suggests, sets its shorts in the late ’90s. As usual for this series, the shorts are hit or miss.

The presentation seems to be a video tape that’s been recorded over multiple times so you wind up with a lot of inter-segment glitching and tracking issues. Thankfully there isn’t an overarching frame story which is for the best since those have always been the worst parts of the previous VHS movies. There is an amusing ongoing interstitial featuring classic green army men in rudimentary stop motion that’s kind of amusing, or at least a little nostalgic.

Shredding is not very interesting ghost/demon story about a ’90 punk band. It’s… really not much of anything. Punk band transgresses and encounters demons and random things happen. The end. 1.5

The Suicide Bid has potential as a sorority hazing story mixed with a buried alive plot. I guess it has a decent gotcha ending and might get under the skin of the claustrophobic (and arachnophobic). 2.5

The Gawkers gets what it’s like to be aimless, single-minded teenage boys too much time on their hands… and a video camera. Wasted youth accuracy for points… though it spends entirely too long just navel gazing at the stupidity of youth. This segment has the best creature but just kind of stops when it gets interesting. 1.5

Ozzy’s Dungeon is interminably long segment that’s interesting only in that it recreates a Double Dare type gameshow. Points for unique 90s nostalgia. But good grief does it go on forever without ever really being interesting. 1

To Hell and Back is a bit amusing with its tale of a couple of average guys who accidentally wind up in a demon realm. It’s occasionally amusing. 2.5

Most of these segments go on too long and/or have no overriding point and/or end when they risk getting interesting. There’s some clever ’90s nostalgia that’s mostly accurate (to my memory) so credit for that.

Score: 75
