The lack of a concrete frame narrative is a huge risk for V/H/S/99. I cannot say I disliked it. The filmmakers seem to deviate from the franchise’s formula in this manner, and that should be a good thing.

Throughout this movie, my reactions were constantly flip-flopping between being genuinely impressed, really irritated, a little bewildered, and guiltily enjoying myself.

The two segments in the middle of V/H/S 99 completely drag the movie down from really good to bad. Ozzy's Dungeon and The Gawkers segments have no elements of horror in them. They feel like a poorly executed attempt at comedy that's not funny at all.

V/H/S/99 amps up the comedy and the mercilessness while going in a new direction that is not only true to the series’ aims, and the time period in which it is set, but is a challenge to its audience.

At a 108 minutes runtime, V/H/S/99 might test the patience of some viewers. Still, this is the best the franchise ever gave us, and we can’t wait to see what new horror V/H/S/85 will bring us next year.

The idea of urban legends in V/H/S/99 feels like the first wave of internet folklore just prior to the emergence of creepypastas and other forms of internet storytelling.

Each segment has something genuinely brilliant and is sure to impress whether this is the first or the hundredth found-footage flick you see this year. You're in for one hell of a good time 🤘📼🤘

While less ambitious than its predecessor, this uneven but decent fifth entry in the found-footage V/H/S anthology series offers enough shocks and brutal creativity to make it worth a look.

Horror buffs know the drill — it’s a V/H/S film and your mileage may vary — but there’s some great and visceral stuff to be had.

V/H/S/99 is not the best in the series but it’s an appropriately squishy and obnoxious tribute to the dimwitted Y2K era

Overall, the anthology shows that horror is alive and well and that imagination is limitless.

...yet another memorable installment in what's arguably the greatest found footage franchise in the subgenre.

Creativity is mostly lost on this anthology series as odds are most segments are going to end with ‘…and then the demon shows up.'

Two installments, especially "To Hell and Back," are among the series' best.

Not ever minute is a winner, but it has enough to justify its length, all culminating in the final segment which most perfectly grasps Y2K fear, horror, and comedy.

V/H/S/99 is a passable new entry into the horror franchise, but a step down from the prior installment.

Due to an absolute lack of ability within its execution, V/H/S/99 disappoints its strong ideas to create a final project that is both frustrating and disappointing.

V/H/S/99 demonstrates anew that neither big names nor big dollars are necessary for worthwhile anthology horror – the right ideas and the right attitude will win out every time.

Each segment runs too long; and none of them has the kind of killer ending an anthology film deserves. But they do all deliver what they promise: a 1999 look and vibe, with moments designed to make audiences squirm.
