Viewing Notes

via Netflix

During a police chase, amateurs rush to shoot videos they hope will go viral, unwittingly casting themselves as victims in a cyber horror story.  While the first two films dealt with a set of VHS tapes that people were cycling through, this one changes up the formula using all sorts of recording devices to tell the story.  The others were more found footage and worked for the shorts they were, and while they work here, this definitely feels like a different sort of anthology collection than we got with the first two films.  There are a few really well done segments that blow the others away in terms of short story-telling and the overall story isn’t terrible but it’s kind of a weak link tying these all together.  Not nearly as good as the first two, this was still worth a look.
