“V/H/S” is a POV, found-footage horror film from the perspective of America’s top genre filmmakers. In “V/H/S,” a group of misfits are hired by an unknown third party to burglarize a desolate house in the countryside and acquire a rare tape.
Upon searching the house, the guys are confronted with a dead body, a hub of old televisions and an endless supply of cryptic footage – each video stranger and more inexplicable than the last.
