(If you're looking for information on the VHS video format, try here.)V/H/S 85 is a 2023 Found Footage anthology film, and the sixth installment in the V/H/S franchise. It features shorts directed by David Bruckner, Scott Derrickson, Gigi Saul Guerrero, Natasha Kermani and Mike P. Nelson. Total Copy: The frame story. Presented as a made-for-TV documentary, Dr. Spratling and his team at Stamer University have come into the possession of a gelatinous alien creature named "Rory". Rory is noted to have the ability to mimic people around it by changing its shape to match theirs, and spends all of its time watching television, prompting Spratling and his team to utilize TV in an effort to communicate with Rory. When the alien gradually grows unresponsive, Spratling, to the concern of his coworkers, resorts to more drastic actions to keep his subject "comfortable" enough to talk again. No Wake: Seven young adults, Rob, Kelly, Drew, Anna, Jared, Kevin, and Robin, travel to Lake Evic, an isolated body of water normally off limits to visitors, for a camping trip. Ignoring the signs that warn visitors against swimming, five of the friends take a boat and their video camera out onto the lake to try their hand at water-skiing. However, the group are swiftly gunned down by an unseen sniper- and then things get weird. God of Death: In Mexico City, Luis, a cameraman for the Ahorita TV news network, prepares to film the station's morning newscast. Suddenly, the building is struck by an earthquake, crushing everyone under rubble and killing them all except Luis. A rescue team, composed of Javier, Karla, Eddie, and Miguel, manage to find Luis and get him back on his feet. Since the station's HQ is severely weakened and can collapse at any moment, Luis and the rescuers have to find a way out before it comes down on them. TKNOGD: Ada, a performance artist, films herself as she puts on a show. Speaking to her sparce audience, Ada espouses her belief that humankind has forsaken and killed their gods, having replaced them all with a new "God of Technology". Rebuking the rise of technology, Ada puts on VR gear and enters the virtual world, calling out to the "Techno God" and challenging it to reveal itself. Ambrosia: Ruth Wrigley uses her new camera to film a family get-together. After getting splashed with a squirt gun by her younger cousin Adam, which he got from a woman in an RV, Ruth heads inside to prepare her family for the main event. It's revealed that the Wrigleys are a family of sociopathic serial killers who have worshipped someone or something they call "The Seven" for generations, and work to appease their deity/deities by killing seven innocent victims in a creative way for continued success. Dreamkill: Wayne, a police detective, is investigating a series of gruesome killings with an unusual twist: video tapes depicting these murders have been arriving at the police station days before they actually happen. He and his friend, a forensic videographer called Bobby, hope to track the killer down by finding out who is sending the tapes.Preceded by V/H/S (2012) The original film.

Darker and Edgier: After the more comedic tone of it’s predecessor, this one returns to the straight up horror route with segments like DREAMKILL, Total Copy, and God Of Death having some of the most disturbing tones/scenes of the V/H/S segments. Although some comedic moments can be found in a few scenes. | |

He is not as gung ho as the rest of the Wrigley family to murder people but he still wants to watch the tape where Ruth is killing the teens from No Wake, which makes him more in line of being a Dirty Coward and an Asshole Victim when given a You Have Outlived Your Usefulness and You Have Failed Me treatment by Ruth. | |

| V/H/S 85 / int_8797239c | comment |
Bait-and-Switch: Most of the foreshadowing can be misleading. The "no swimming" sign and the strange disappearance of the squirrel's corpse on the shoreline may prompt the viewer to believe that the protagonists are about to run into a sea monster. However, the actual supernatural element is that the lake's water grants immortality, hence the prior buildup. | |

Deliberate VHS Quality | |
| V/H/S 85 / int_a9b15ce4 | comment |
Deliberate VHS Quality: Like the other films in the series, each segment looks like it came from a VHS tape. However this entry in the series is the first to be almost entirely presented in a 4:3 aspect ratio, only going into a 19:6 aspect ratio for "Dreamkill". Justified in that it takes place in the '80s. | |

Fate Worse than Death | |
| V/H/S 85 / int_b1346878 | comment |
Fate Worse than Death: Robin and her friends who were affected by the enchanted water survived their murder attempt, but not only their unaffected friends and family are Killed Off for Real, they will likely ended up as living breathing mutilated freaks due to their exposed fatal injuries, especially Kelly who probably would need to live forever with her Facial Horror. | |

Too Dumb to Live | |
| V/H/S 85 / int_b58b4e3c | comment |
Too Dumb to Live: Dr. Greyson, who resigned from the research team, points out that Spratling and the rest of the team should have been more cautious after discovering Rory's ability to shapeshift. Later, Rory demonstrates that he can see through the one-way mirror as he was able to copy the form of Gary, a scientist who has never been down to Rory's chamber. For some reason, no one except for Greyson is concerned about Rory's possible intelligence. | |

Immortality | |
| V/H/S 85 / int_bf9ed416 | comment |
Immortality: The lake water grants immortality, allowing the boat passengers shot by a sniper rifle to shrug off lethal injuries. The only campers that died were the ones that chose to stay onshore (Anna and Jared) or didn't dive into the lake to surf behind the boat (Kevin). The "dead" squirrel Rob found earlier is also immortal as its body disappeared when Rob looked away. | |

Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: It could be a coincidence that Ruth's house is raided by police after she fails to take seven victims, or it could be that the ritual's protection is gone or that Robin and her friends manages to call the police on her family for her murder attempt on them. | |

Cruel Mercy | |

Cruel Mercy: Ruth ends up the Sole Survivor of the family thanks to the enchanted water, but have disgraced the family name with her survival, is arrested to answer for her and her family's crimes and due to the immortality she's gain, the death sentence is out of the question and she would likely face life imprisonment, which makes her immortal state a Fate Worse than Death. | |
