“V/H/S/99” (0 stars out of four) was a rockbottom entry in this confoundingly popular series (who the hell keeps buying these?) set in a nightmarish vision of 1999 in which various disturbing home videos are uncovered featuring a variety of sickos and freaks (Jesse LaTourette, Tybee Diskin, Verona Blue, and others) whose lives collide and they all have to try and survive and preserve their sanity which (believe me) is easier said than done. Film is so haphazard and incoherent that you could probably watch it backwards and it would make just as much sense but by no means is that a recommendation. The kind of movie that makes you want to take a shower immediately afterwards. Even for home-video and VHS lovers, you’ll want to press stop and eject long before this is over.
