In a challenging atmosphere, this movie, follows the police chase across Los Angeles streets that attract the attention of all citizens, as teenagers who obsessed with fame, go out with their cameras, in order to photo that chase, but when a young man goes, in order to save his girlfriend, everything changes.
A sequel so slapdash and ineffectual that its army of directors-six of them total, counting the poor sucker whose contribution got axed-might well be accused of intentionally burying the franchise.
Though hardcore fans of the series will no doubt walk away at least somewhat satisfied by Viral's offerings, it definitely skimps out on horror in favor of more playful and loose genre riffing.
As a collective, there's great, good and average to be had here. It's always a risk run with these anthologies, but the audience is there for them and Viral is a good addition to the series.
VHS: Viral fractures its format with gluttonous camera work, excessive CGI, and pandering sentiments that are more preachy than legitimately frightening.
After much white noise and other loud sounds along with annoying picture fluctuations, the individual horror segments begin. None of them are impressive.
