Program Note
Six newly discovered V/H/S tapes are shown, followed by a segment that ties up the entire story. They are: A Canadian urban legend on extraterrestrial life; a police unit's investigation into the series of missing babies; A paparazzi sneaks into the Bollywood starlet's trailer leading to a catastrophe; A skydiving man and his friends encounter an alien; An animal activist group investigate a woman with peculiar hobby; A woman documents extraterrestrial encounters with unfortunate outcome.
The seventh installment of the series, V/H/S Beyond explores extraterrestrials, robots, and other unusual phenomena. Along with five found footage stories, the wraparound story, hosted by the actual occultist Mitch Horowitz, adds documentary-like realism and solidly packages this sci-fi/horror installment as one of the most entertaining anthology films in recent years.
