V/H/S/Beyond

De longe um dos mais sólidos da franquia. Gosto como o fio principal aqui é minimamente condizente. Enquanto os filmes de 90 e 80 se retroalimentaram de referências fáceis e pouco inspiradas esse aqui abraça o conceito de documentários sobre ÓVNIS indo de caçadores de mitos a super crédulos na área e no meio disso temos esses curtas que entendem a lógica de "E.T." como os EUA entende esse conceito: invasores que não tem outra função se não fazer com eles o que eles fizeram com o resto do mundo, colonização e destruição do modo de vida ocidental burguês. Acho muito interessante como cada curta tem uma abordagem diferente, ao mesmo tempo que igual. Vamos de Tusk a até A Mosca de Cronenberg. O primeiro curta bebe demais de Sam Reimi e Rec 2, inclusive que vontade de rever esse, aproveitar o outubro pra isso e o curta principal que move a trama tem essa aura e essa construção de filme caseiro que é muito boa, é uma conclusão angustiante e que anseia por mais, inclusive acho muito interessante o alvo desse documentário ser um descendente sino-americano. Os imigrantes que constroem essa vida pacata e próspera no ocidente, mas um mal além das estrelas rouba isso com sua lógica de apropriação e tomada do corpo desse indivíduo, basicamente colonialismo.

You know maybe I'm the one who needs to readjust some expectations where found footage is concerned, or at least found footage as filtered through V/H/S. Don't know if I'd outright call myself a fan with my explorations so far, but the genre as a whole still activates some neurons up top. I gravitate more towards the scenarios halfway justifying their operation in-universe; a "satisfactory" context for tape/feed retrieval, who's editing it for you, and why. E.g. Blair Witch, Gonjiam, Incantation. And thing is I remember the criticisms at that first one's release like "what's scary about a snotty close-up of a face you can't even see anything" kind of statements... which is the precise something that makes it all work for me so well. But the other part of me knows that, say, an uninterrupted multi-hour CCTV viewpoint, while truly *Found* in one sense, isn't exactly going to cut it for a night at the movies. So V/H/S/Beyond breezes past all that and is more interested in the format as thrill ride or suggestion, where the pact with the audience is one of willing imagination and whatever cassette-esque construct is necessary to get your POV on the ground and shoved up close to the gory business at hand. It's taken me a while but I think I'm finding a way to chill out with the format, letting the somehow perfectly framed shots fall where they may :D Fangoria has a good feature on these, lots of fun effects going on. "Stowaway" is the one sticking with me the longest-- the suffering feels downright literary in that last half.

First time watching V/H/S series and it turned out to be very good and scary. I like all the stories from the beginning but I don't like the ending story a bit because it's confusing, so the concept of this movie is about UFO, Alien and Mutant right? The movie segments that I like the most are Dream Girl, Live and Let Dive, and Fur Babies. please recommend one really good V/H/S movie besides this, I'm obsessed I think.

~Abduction/Adduction -started interesting, lost its way, ended interesting. i was interested in the farmington house and the immigrant family and then they went on about unrelated alien topics and using real youtubers (corridor crew) took me out of the movie. ~Stork - one of the best segments of the whole franchise ~Dream Girl -it was decent ~Live and Let Dive - pretty good ~Fur Babies - i didnt care for it, not because its weird and disturbing but because of the characters ~Stowaway - pretty good overall, there was good body horror, special fx, etc. segment rankings: Stork Live and Let Dive Stowaway Dream Girl Abduction/Adduction Fur Babies
