V/H/S/2 is a 2013 Found Footage anthology film featuring segments directed by Simon Barnett, Adam Wingard, Eduardo Sanchez, Gregg Hale, Gareth Evans, Timo Tjahjanto and Jason Eisener. It is a sequel to 2012's V/H/S. A follow-up sequel entitled V/H/S: Viral was released October 23, 2014 and a third one, V/H/S/94, was released on October 6, 2021. A fourth sequel, V/H/S/99, is set to debut on Shudder October 20, 2022 and a fifth one, V/H/S/85, is slated to release sometime in 2023.Larry and Ayesha, a pair of private investigators, break and enter into the house of Kyle, a college student supposedly gone missing, after his mother hasn't heard from him in a couple of days. Inside the house, the pair discover a bunch of VHS tapes, which gradually clue the duo in as to what happened to Kyle. Tape 49: The wraparound. Larry and Ayesha discuss and watch the collection of tapes that Kyle has amassed, and as they watch them, things become more and more surreal. Phase I Clinical Trials: Herman Middleton has recently lost his eye in a car accident. He undergoes an experimental procedure in which his ruined eye is replaced with a cybernetic eye with a camera put into it, which records everything it glimpses. It's not long before long Herman discovers his new eye allows him to see ghosts. The ghosts themselves become aware that Herman can sense them... and they aren't happy about it. A Ride in the Park: With a camera mounted on his helmet, cyclist Mike Sullivan goes for a bike ride in a state park. During his ride, Mike is attacked and bitten by a zombie. He eventually dies from his wounds, reanimates, and attacks a married couple, who become zombies themselves. The danger sharply escalates when the zombified trio discover and begin terrorizing a birthday party. Safe Haven: The film's longest segment. In Indonesia, Malik, his fiancée Lena, and his friends Adam and Joni manage to gain entrance to the compound of Paradise Gates, a mysterious cult. The quartet are actually a film crew who are hoping to shoot a documentary about the cult's mysterious activities with all sorts of hidden cameras. Little do they know that Paradise Gates practices demonic worship, and they take particular interest in Lena... who happens to be pregnant with Adam's child. Slumber Party Alien Abduction: Young brothers Gary and Randy attach a camera to their dog Tank to shoot videos around the house. When their parents leave on an outing, they invite their friends Shawn and Danny to play pranks on their older sister Jen and her boyfriend Zack. The prank war begins escalating as the kids and teenagers pull one prank after another, but things quickly become serious when aliens come to abduct them.The film has received mostly positive reviews from critics who praised the clever irony and human melodrama in each segment (especially "Slumber Party Alien Abduction" which had immature, jerkass teenagers banding together against aliens). In contrast, the first V/H/S movie earned mixed reviews and critics saw the sequel as an improvement.A Spin-Off film expanding on Slumber Party Alien Invasion, dubbed Kids Vs Aliens, was shown at Fantastic Fest in 2022 and is currently set for wide release on January 20, 2023. It is the second feature length adaptation of a V/H/S segment, the first being Siren (2016). | |

Trailers Always Spoil | |
| V/H/S/2 / int_143939c1 | comment |
Trailers Always Spoil: It spoils various key elements from the film, including what are arguably some of the Money-Making Shots from "Safe Haven", where The men all shoot themselves in unison and the Father explodes. Never Trust a Trailer: One of the trailers is cut in such a way that the shots of the birthday party and the blood-covered man driving away in the van look like they are from the same short, when they actually aren't. | |

Foreshadowing | |
| V/H/S/2 / int_1484dba1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: When Herman and Clarissa discuss the ghosts, Herman suggests removing his implant to get rid of them. Clarissa shoots this down, saying that it'll only keep Herman from seeing the ghosts instead of outright getting rid of them. At the end of the segment, an insane Herman uses a straight razor to cut out the implant. Just as Clarissa said, this does nothing to help him, as the ghosts (now unseen to him) proceed to throttle him. | |

The Greys: The aliens resemble them, though they're much taller than the standard depiction. They look more like Greys crossed with Deep Ones, actually, considering their aquatic faculties. It's also rare in sci-fi that grey aliens are taller (let alone same height) than humans. | |

Death of a Child | |
| V/H/S/2 / int_269e82c1 | comment |
Death of a Child: In Safe Haven and entirely in Slumber Party Alien Abduction. Possibly averted straight in A Ride in the Park since we see the father and his three children leave, but the fate of the other children that were at the party including the birthday girl is left unclear. The dead girl in Phase I Clinical Trials. Herman doesn't answer when Clarissa asks if he's ever hurt anybody, and considering he had an eye injury from a car accident, it's implied his accident killed both the girl and her father. | |

Aliens Are Bastards: Their morality could be considered colder than that of humans. They ruthlessly pursue and abduct the kids, and they have no qualms about violently shoving a dog that gets in their way, or indirectly causing the dog's death via dropping it from their tractor beam. | |

Dying as Yourself: An undead Mike accidentally butt-dials his girlfriend, the sound of her voice seeming to reawaken some vestiges of humanity within him. Realizing his horrific state, he proceeds to grab a discarded shotgun and put himself down. | |

Our Ghosts Are Different | |
| V/H/S/2 / int_66479d0 | comment |
Our Ghosts Are Different: According to Clarissa, they're all around us, but people are very rarely able to sense them. If you can, the ghosts can tell, and the more you interact with them — i.e. even so much as look at them — the more they can interact with you in turn. And they're not kind. | |

Meaningful Name: As pointed out in the commentary track, the two main characters both have meaningful names that are Stealth Puns on Live-Action TV shows from The '90s: Clarissa delivers Exposition about the supernatural elements, so it can be said that she "explains it all". Herman's ocular implant causes him to be able to sense ghosts, so the problem is essentially in his head. | |

Developing Doomed Characters: The main characters of each short are MUCH less obnoxious than the ones in the original, starting with the wraparound: in the first the bookends centered around a group of college-age sexually abusive thugs breaking into someone's house to steal a videotape, while in the second they center around a no-nonsense private detective couple investigating the disappearance of a college student. | |

Perspective Flip: Usually, zombie films require you to see from the side of the living humans at a third-person narrative. This segment shows you a first-person perspective from the zombie's eyes. It turns out that the humans aren't that dangerous to the zombies than vice versa, as Mike was shot, stabbed, and beaten up with a baseball bat. | |

Fate Worse than Death | |
| V/H/S/2 / int_b1346878 | comment |
Fate Worse than Death: We don't actually see the demon from "Safe Haven" kill Adam, and since he's his son, it's possible that he spared him. What the demon did to Adam after the camera went off is still a mystery, although it's possible that the demon grabbed Adam and flew him...somewhere, similar to Clint from the first movie. Since the aliens from "Slumber Party Alien Abduction" abducted the teenagers instead of outright killing them, one can only assume what kind of experiments they have in store for them... Especially if we remember The Sick Thing That Happened to Emily When She Was Younger from the first film. | |

Same goes for that guy who came with a shotgun, but stood completely still while shooting zombies and forgot to check for blind spots. | |

Satan | |
| V/H/S/2 / int_c3bafbce | comment |
Satan: Given that it sports a goat head, horns and bat-like wings, the demon is most likely the devil himself. It bears a closer resemblance to Baphomet, a pagan deity often used to represent Satan. | |

Hollywood Darkness: The aliens wait until nightfall for the invasion. They were always there, even in broad daylight, but when night comes, they cut the power to the house so that their spaceship remains the only source of light in the region to easily lure in the kids. It works. | |

| V/H/S/2 / int_cdfe12c3 | comment |
Since the aliens from "Slumber Party Alien Abduction" abducted the teenagers instead of outright killing them, one can only assume what kind of experiments they have in store for them... Especially if we remember The Sick Thing That Happened to Emily When She Was Younger from the first film. | |

Gorn: All of the shorts feature blood and guts to some degree, but A Ride in the Park and Safe Haven stand out. The former is very gory with lot of close-ups of zombies eating entrails, while the latter features multiple people getting stabbed or blowing their brains out, to say nothing of the childbirth scenes. Also, the ending of Tape 49. | |

Dwindling Party: The aliens round up all six children while in the house. Zack is the first to go, Danny and Shawn are never seen again after the aliens barge in, (likely meaning they were brought to the spaceship or drowned in the lake), the remaining three escape the lake before running off into the woods, where they get snatched one by one, with Gary getting beamed up into the aliens' spaceship. | |

Distracted by the Sexy: A unique horror and matter-of-survival variant of this trope, Clarissa attempts to get Herman's mind off the ghosts by flashing her boobs and having sex with him because as she explains, if Herman keeps paying attention to the ghosts, they grow more powerful. Downer Ending: It doesn't work. Her implicitly Creepy Uncle's ghost suggests she's used to using Sex for Solace to cope with his past abuse of her. | |
