V H S Beyond | RECENT |

V/H/S/Beyond is the seventh entry in the long-running found footage anthology series, continuing the tradition established by Bloody Disgusting and Shudder. While the franchise previously explored found footage in various contexts, Beyond specifically focuses on the intersection of found footage and science fiction horror.

The film features five distinct shorts and a "special presentation" frame narrative: V H S Beyond

(Directed by Scott Dewitt) The film opens with a bang in Stork , a segment that perfectly blends the domestic setting of classic V/H/S entries with high-octane action. The story follows a group of police officers and a specialized unit entering a warehouse to investigate missing children. What they find is a creature-feature nightmare involving a "stork" entity. This segment is notable for its aggressive pacing and incredible practical effects. It sets the tone immediately: this is not a slow-burn mystery, but a visceral assault. The use of body cams and SWAT tactical gear adds a layer of professionalism to the footage, contrasting sharply with the chaos that ensues. V/H/S/Beyond is the seventh entry in the long-running

In the golden era of Blockbuster Video, the horror section was a gauntlet. You judged a movie by its box art, prayed the tape wasn’t chewed up, and accepted that the grain and tracking lines were part of the experience. For fans of the V/H/S franchise, that nostalgia is a weapon. But with the release of the seventh installment, , the series has done something unexpected: it has left the haunted house behind and launched its found-footage nightmares into the cold, indifferent vacuum of space. The story follows a group of police officers

The finale returns to deep space. Found footage from a lost shuttle mission reveals that the astronauts are not alone. They discover a derelict "ark ship" that collects dying civilizations. The final 15 minutes are silent, relying on the static of the recording to imply the crew being erased from time. It ties the anthology together, suggesting that everything we saw—the stork, the vampire, the grays—are all just tools of one cosmic collector. It ends on a freeze frame of a VHS tape being ejected into the void. Haunting.
