James Benning’s first film called The United States of America was a 1975 trip across the country, capturing its scenery through a car windshield. This second one also crisscrosses the nation, but without a car, carving it up instead into a series of static shots of just under two minutes, one for each state, presented alphabetically, from Heron Bay, Alabama to Kelly, Wyoming. The names of the places are nondescript, but the images attached to them are anything but, immaculately composed shots of landscape, cityscape and the spaces in between. As we move from A to Z, the images coalesce into a portrait of today’s USA, tracing out its fault lines almost in passing: fenced-off facilities, a river bed running dry, factories and refineries, run-down streets and gas stations, a camp under a bridge. The past is there too, seeping up through the songs and speeches that sporadically pierce the background noise or the motifs that evoke a whole career; the clouds, trains and cabins are stand-ins for films, not just states. As always, there’s time for more abstract thoughts too: each image may stand for a state, but representativity is slippery. Which state is more cinematic than the rest?
鼠人邪教那part感觉短了...
就b级片而言，还是可以的，但是中间经常穿插各种不同时期的录像记录，就导致叙事有一些破碎感。更像一个灵异现象记录片合集。就一些固定的镜头还不错，但是手持的部分还是让人有一点难受。不过吓人一跳跟血腥部分还是可以的。
不是伪纪录片就可以据此拍的如此混乱和没逻辑
1情节完整 2氛围到位 3设定清奇 4收束草率 勾起了我看前三部的欲望。
多加半星鼓励分，没能惊艳到我但比一般的恐怖片有特色多了。
這系列就是這樣，僅止於有趣，但都說不上好看。
喷浆女记者，大凶守夜妞看得真过瘾，本想趁着激动劲儿直接干上5星…机械改造妹和吸血鬼炸弹人的节奏直接喊了cut，因为Dr. 和 Commander 的絮絮叨叨真是破坏节奏，大大削减了故事后半段的爆发快感~用来串故事的主线“工具”剧情，已成可有可无的存在。
类似于伪纪录片式的讨巧视角，放大了恐怖的效果(就好比恐怖游戏切换从第三人称切为第一人称)
第三个真的吓到我了，不过我还是没懂这个和一开始的特警有啥关系？
有以前cult片那味了，前两个故事都很nice！好久没看到这种复古风味了，整体质感也很到位，期待下一部？
请问和前三部有啥关系啊？老鼠人吗？看完难免失望
第一个故事和第三个故事可以专门挑出来看一下，其他的可以直接跳过，这个镜头晃得头晕，虽然知道是伪纪录片，但也不至于这么晃吧。。
没有当初看一二部那种醍醐灌顶的感觉了，一二个故事可以直接跳过，喜欢第三个故事的朋友推荐去看《弗兰肯斯坦的军队》
还有1个像“串串烧”贯穿全片的灵魂主线故事
守灵人那场戏我居然看笑了，机械恶魔的故事过于重口味了
几个故事都有种特别强的既视感。第二个守灵的故事虽然普通但是吓人氛围最足。
怪东西恶心东西血浆肉酱真的看一部少一部了！还能个个有惊喜！东南亚故事好评！！！
第一个故事还有点都市恐怖传说的味道，后面的不是用力过猛就是没怎么发力了。
巴雷特＞★★★＝奥野＞＞＞普劳斯＞里德（串场）＝塔哈亚托
As the return of the V/H/S series it’s pretty good with five new stories.The company could produce more and more creepy movies of urban legend if they want.I await the next.
