Viewing Notes
There’s something in the V/H/S anthology franchise for everyone to love. If exploding cultists are your thing, the V/H/S’s have you covered. Same for lovers of haunted house exorcisms and Faustian magicians. Of course, loving (or sort of liking) a couple of segments was as good as it got for many viewers. As with most anthologies, the original V/H/S is hit and miss. But I think it’s safe to say that one of the strongest shorts was “Amateur Night”. It featured a few reprehensible guys who managed to entice a couple of ladies back to their hotel room. One of those women is very strange indeed. Given the segment’s warm response, it was no surprise when I read that it would be developed into a feature length film, SiREN. (i don’t know why it’s spelled like that, but it is) Expanding a short-but-sweet horror story into a feature isn’t always the best idea. The success of the original is often due to the effectiveness of the scares delivered in a short amount of time. So, does SiREN beat the odds and deliver the goods?
