The sixth installment in the <I>V/H/S</I> franchise was... interesting. While it's hard to compare it to the other installments (the first three could've taken place at any time, while these last three were attached to specific years, which you can tell by the "quality" of the tapes and technology), it still delivers.
I'm glad Shudder took this franchise under its wings as we've received three new films in three years, a gift for us all. As usual, there's great talent attached, incl. Scott Derickson and Mike P. Nelson, who truly deliver the goods that us franchise fans want. They're outside of the box insane and deliver a heavy bodycount in creative, unimaginable ways, and I can't wait for the next one!
