Plot: Another entry in the found footage anthology, focusing on the mid-80s. An old tape is found with four creepy films on it. A group of kids coming back to life, an underground Mexican God, a copycat killer, and a gun-crazed family all wreak havoc. In between the footage, an old documentary about a mysterious creature remains.

It's a bit late to do a '85 episode of the V/H/S anthology if you ask me, but I guess it made sense since they never actually handled the 80s explicitly. This certainly wasn't the best of the series, but I figured I'd give it a go as there's already a new one out. Keeping up with horror films is a bit harder these days.
There are some decent segments, but the old V/H/S look is a bit overdone and I'm not a fan of the 80s aesthetic at all. I liked the wrap-around segment best, and the Mexican one was interesting too. The rest felt obsolete and derivative. There's still some decent fun to be had for hardcore horror fans, but this series needs a quality injection if it wants to keep on going.
