Things Get Very Bloody in the ‘V/H/S 2’ Red Band Trailer

One of my most anticipated horror titles this year is the anthology sequel V/H/S 2.  Though I’ve had several opportunities to see it at various festival screenings, it would seem there are forces beyond my control that have been preventing me from seeing this film. Fortunately, it’s set to hit VOD on June 6th, with a theatrical release on July 12th, 2013.

Though I was overall pleased with the original, there were some issues with some of the segments and the bookends, however most accounts for the sequel state that everything has been improved upon with this iteration, which has me all the more excited. Hit the jump for the synopsis and (extremely graphic) trailer.

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.
