After the disaster that was VHS Viral, I didn't have much hope for this series, after all it seemed that it would die with the 3rd installment, however, years go by and here we have the reboot of the series, this time with a more concise format and a central mythology that follows a loose narrative through different VHS tapes connected in some way. The 4th installment of the series revives the franchise with a select group of horror-shorts that manage to entertain for their set length, though of course, always maintaining the same flaws of past productions and being a bit goofy at times.
One thing that stands out is probably the increased budget. While in the previous films you could feel the lack of money in certain segments, in this case we have some short films with excellent set designs, fantastic practical effects and great costumes. Probably the best practical effects since VHS 2 Safe Haven. That gives it a rather theatrical visceral entertainment factor, and of course, as a result, we have one of the goriest installments of the saga.
VHS 94 is decent. While the practical effects and designs are interesting, the execution and direction of the shorts leaves something to be desired. They are interesting concepts but are not exploited to their potential.
Entertaining, with good effects, it may mark a new hope for the series.
