    V/H/S 3 (film) - Viral

    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    #1 is good, but problematic in a few regards ... #2 on the other hand is excellent and a really good watch ... #3, hmmm, I'm not really aware of any of the names attached to this flick, so that has me a little concerned (#2 had some really good and evidently talented names attached), so we're back into unknown waters here. Hopefully it'll work out though and they won't make something that's lacking or returns to the issues of the first movie.

    Known names or not, as long as the final product turns out well with nicely crafted horror delights throughout then I'll be happy ... it's just that with the 2nd movie, with known names attached, you had a good idea going in that it would be a good flick (and it certainly matched those expectations, if not exceeded them).

    Looking forward to seeing it and keeping an open, albeit somewhat cautious, mind about it. Some of the snippets in the trailer looked nifty ... we'll see ... we'll see.

    A wise idea, I think. I saw this and I didn't think it was as good as either of the first two.
    The over arching story is very patchy with a sort of 'oh, is that it?' sort of end.
    One of the segments stood out (as good) over the others .... could have made an interesting film in its own right
    and one stood out as bad .... just felt like an excuse for a bunch of teens to dick around with a camera.

    Yeh.

    I watched this a few days ago and felt it suffered from the same problems as the others. Waaaay too patchy, with at least one segment that is just rubbish and an unnecessary central theme. None of these V/H/S anthologies are good, but this one was poorer than the first two.
