V/H/S/Mixtape review

Metal band Gwar host this instalment of the horror series, which serves up darkly humorous movie morsels that would struggle to frighten a toddler

V/H/S/Mixtape review

TL;DR

  • The horror anthology series V/H/S/Mixtape presents a diverse ragbag of shorts with a music and sound theme.
  • The interstitial segments are hosted by the metal band Gwar, who tell Halloween dad jokes.
  • The five mini movies vary in length and quality, including stop-motion, puppet revenge, a musician's sonic obsession, and a quest for the perfect song using victim screams.
  • Practical effects are described as over-the-top, rubbery, and absurd, with a warped sense of humor not suitable for children.
