Blurb:
“Unveiled through a made-for-TV documentary, five chilling tales emerge: scientists observe an unusual boy fixated on his TV, kids embark on a lake skiing adventure, a TV crew fights to survive a natural disaster, the early days of VR awaken something terrifying, and a deadly dream is captured on tape. Sinister secrets of the 1980s come to life in a way you’ve never seen before.”
Reviews:
“V/H/S/85 is perhaps the series’ most consistent entry. Similar to V/H/S/99, these segments feel cohesive within an implicit overarching theme. Plus, each segment has just a stellar commitment to draping innards across every surface. With each film, producers Josh Goldbloom and Brad Miska have upped the ante with filmmakers unafraid to get weird and disgusting.” ★★★★ Dread Central
“Features one truly good segment at the start, though it’s ruined by an ultimate lack of explanation. The other tales range from okay to somewhat decent, but none are entirely memorable despite brushes with shocks and gore.” 2 out of 4, Splatter Critic
