V/H/S/2 (2013)
Directed by Adam Wingard
Inside a darkened house looms a column of TVs littered with VHS tapes, a pagan shrine to forgotten analog gods. The screens crackle and pop endlessly with monochrome vistas of static white noise permeating the brain and fogging concentration. But you must fight the urge to relax: this is no mere movie night. Those obsolete spools contain more than just magnetic tape. They are imprinted with the very soul of evil.

What critics compared V/H/S/2 to
…the most confounding bit of film title punctuation since V/H/S/2…
Jason Eisener, he of Hobo With a Shotgun and the “Slumber Party Alien Abduction” segment from V/H/S/2, produced the film, and it shows.
Things skyrocket with "Safe Haven", an Indonesian effort contributed by writer-directors Timo Tjahjanto and Gareth Huw Evans, the latter responsible for the brilliant The Raid: Redemption .
Similarly, The Raid: Redemption‘s Gareth Huw Evans (along with help from Timo Tjahjanto) offers up a religious sect that becomes the playground for every demented Devil worshipping weirdness possible.
In the longest and most intriguing segment, “Safe Haven,” directed by Timo Tjahjanto and Gareth Huw Evans (The Raid: Redemption), a film crew visits a doomsday cult and gets more doomsday than they bargained for.
At the top of the list is “Safe Haven” from “The Raid: Redemption” mastermind Gareth Huw Evans, co-directed by Timo Tjahjanto.
“Safe Haven,” co-directed by Timo Tjahjanto and “The Raid: Redemption” director Gareth Evans follows a group of Indonesian filmmakers attempting to make a documentary about a mystical cult.
Next up is the most elaborate and unhinged of the quartet: “Safe Haven” directed and written by Timo Tjahjanto and Gareth Evans (whose martial arts actioner “The Raid: Redemption” found a cult following last year).
