V/H/S/99 Blu-ray Movie Review

Reviewed by Randy Miller III May 22, 2023

Released alongside the standard version, RLJ Entertainment offers a Steelbook edition of the recent horror anthology film V/H/S/99 as an exclusive to Walmart, both in-store and online. Other than the tempting addition of a bonus DVD copy of the film (which, in all honesty, probably looks the same), it's roughly identical to the wide release -- even the cover design -- but should nonetheless appeal to die-hard franchise fans and packaging collectors alike.


For my thoughts on the main feature, please see my separate review of the standard Blu-ray.

V/H/S/99 Blu-ray Movie, Special Features and Extras  3.5 of 5

Seen above and below, this two-disc set ships in a matte-finish Steelbook with a front cover virtually identical to the wide release (save for a few quotes and other text). The back cover, which is covered up by a removable card, features a garish close-up from "Suicide Bid" but is kind of spoiled by promotional text that describes something you've already bought and opened. Sigh. Inside is a two-panel image from "To Hell and Back", with the Blu-ray and DVD placed in overlapping hubs on the right side. It's not the most stunning design in recent memory, nor is it a total loss.

The on-disc bonus features are identical to the standard Blu-ray.


V/H/S/99 Blu-ray Movie, Overall Score and Recommendation  3.0 of 5

Shudder's latest horror anthology V/H/S/99 keeps the ball rolling with another batch of low-res horror shorts. In my opinion it's a better entry than the "comeback film" V/H/S/94... and this bump in overall quality makes me a bit more excited for the franchise's next entry, V/H/S/85, which was secretly shot back-to-back alongside this most recent film. In addition to the standard Blu-ray, this Walmart-exclusive Blu-ray/DVD Steelbook is available for packaging collectors. That said, the "YMMV" nature of the main feature only makes this version worth a look for established fans.
