V/H/S Viral is another found footage horror anthology. The wraparound story is about a mysterious van driving through L.A. and broadcasting images to people's cell phones that make them go insane (a little like Signal). One young would-be internet star believes the van has kidnapped his girlfriend so he pursues it through the streets. Bad things happen.
Dante the Great- This is a cute little short about a magician who discovers Houdini's cloak and the curse that goes along with it. The cloak demands sacrifices but Dante might have finally met his match with his latest assistant. This one is more funny than scary but it is pretty well made.
Parallel Monsters- This short by Nacho "Timecrimes" Vigalando is by far the most interesting of the movie. A scientist makes a breakthrough by reaching an alternate dimension and his alternate counterpart has made the same discovery at the same time. They decide to switch realities and see what's up. One guy definitely gets the short end of the stick. This one is disturbing and oddly funny in its own dark way. The "evil" universe is super creepy and may give you nightmares.
Bonestorm- In terms of having fun, this crew looks like it had the most. It is about a group of kids doing dangerous skateboard stunts who travel to Tijuana to buy cheap fireworks. They stumble onto a ritual site and shed blood, leading to a bunch of Lovecraft worthy cultists coming out of nowhere to kill them. Even when they kill a cultist, they aren't done with him yet. If you like seeing skate punks thrashing on the evil dead, this is the short for you.
