	Author	Review
United States	Elizabeth Weitzman New York Daily News	"This indie compilation has enough inventive chills to interest any horror fan (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Owen Williams Empire	"Like last year's 'Chronicle', here's another reminder that in the right hands found footage still has plenty of capacity to surprise. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Dennis Harvey Variety	"Omnibus feature brings energy and diverse story ideas to the found-footage horror subgenre, but overstays its welcome at nearly two hours."	NEU
United States	Justin Lowe The Hollywood Reporter	"Refreshingly, 'V/H/S' promises no more than it delivers, always a plus with genre fare"	POS
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"What's the point? None of the segments is particularly compelling. Strung together, it's way too much of a muchness (…) Rating: ★ (out of 4)"	NEG
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"There are admittedly hints of all the favourites – 'Blair Witch', 'Paranormal Activity' and 'Rec' (...) But there's a lot of original creepiness here, too (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Scott Tobias AV Club	"'V/H/S' brings some cohesion to the Wild West of indie horror filmmaking, and seems destined to become a key artifact of a DIY era."	POS
