V/H/S/85 is an absolute blast of gore, laughs, fright, and mayhem. Go to Full Review David Ehrlich IndieWire Oct 6, 2023

Truth be told, the only thing stranger than the “V/H/S” franchise waiting six movies to revisit the ’80s is how little it does with the decade when it finally goes there. Go to Full Review Simon Abrams RogerEbert.com Oct 6, 2023

Pretty much just a bunch of stuff you’ve seen before, only now with some mildly ironic twists and tweaks to adjust for retrospective tracking. Go to Full Review Emily von Seele Daily Dead Sep 14, 2025

There’s no obvious weak link and it really feels like the filmmakers are all bringing their A game to this installment. Go to Full Review Rebecca Sayce FILMHOUNDS Magazine Jul 24, 2025

For fans of the franchise, V/H/S/85 is sure to be a welcome watch in time for Halloween that offers varied stories wrapped up in nostalgic eighties visuals perfect for a cosy watch as the nights draw in. Go to Full Review James Preston Poole Discussing Film Aug 22, 2024
3/5
As a combination of short films, V/H/S/85 goes down fine. That’s all. A couple of them are great examples of the anthology format, one is so well done you wish there was more, and another feels like it outright didn’t understand the assignment. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Christian R @RT90248046 Oct 11, 2026 6.9/10 A pretty good follow up, albeit one that still has some flaws, 85 gets a lot of points just from 'Dreamkill' alone, though the others till had some oomph to them. See more Owen S @OwenSims Oct 8, 2026 A solid film in this series with some of the best ideas in this movie. Not a single bad segment. Very creative movie. See more Pinoy Short R @emill_santos Jun 30, 2026 Palyado. Ito na siguro ang pinaka weakest sa franchise. Halos lahat ng series napanuod ko at dito lang ako na disappoint See more Joshua S @RT86367513 Jun 6, 2026 Omg when I say this movie in the VHS franchise is good, I mean it. There's one segment that I wasn't a big fan about. Regardless, a good movie all around with unique situations. See more Jorge H @jorge02 Apr 25, 2026 V/H/S 85 brings up the VHS franchise with one of my favorite directors, David Bruckner is definitely the definition of a great director for found footage and horror films See more Khaztiel Delbod D @khaztielddenver_ Jan 16, 2026 Me gusto que fue la primera vez que las historias se conectaron entre si. Respecto a la trama de cada historia siento que la mayoría no lograron captar mi atención o había algunas que las sentía muy extensas. See more Read all reviews
