That is very cool of you (again, no sarcasm I may part either, I mean it).<br /><br />I do have one question though, from the few reviews I've read of this flick, it seems that most critics' least favorite segment was this one. Again, yeah, maybe I was a little too hard on it, but I'm not the only one, you know? I'm certainly no Rex Reed.

Safe Haven (3rd short story) is genuinely disturbing, combining multiple genres into one, and it works.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4784665635104956142.post-62968512023612670862013-06-08T17:15:52.434-04:002013-06-08T17:15:52.434-04:00I checked out some reviews after I posted mine, an...I checked out some reviews after I posted mine, and you're right, most I've read have been rather positive.

The cameras they shot with are infinitely superior to those used in V/H/S. Which, in turn, is what makes the sequel less appealing. After all, I felt that the first was technically atrocious on purpose, you know?<br /><br />I rented it from iTunes.

The first had me on the edge of my seat and paranoid for the rest of the night, which is always good.<br /><br />This one doesn't sound too good though. Did they rush through it perhaps? Has the quality been lowered in order to get a faster release?<br /><br />Also, how did you see this?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16936983379899105507noreply@blogger.com
