Removing SFX Failure as it does not explain why the CG fails; "It's a bit lacking" is not exactly descriptive.


* SpecialEffectsFailure: Zigzagged in ''The Subject''. The practical effects are [[SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome excellently bloody and authentic feeling]]. It's the ''digital'' effects that can feel a bit lacking. Thankfully, that doesn't hurt the short's quality overall by much.

** In ''The Subject'', SA getting her hands (well, [[AnArmAndALeg hand]]) on [[spoiler: an arm mounted machine gun, blasting her way out of James's laboratory.]] To top it off, after all she goes through, [[spoiler: [[EarnYourHappyEnding she is last seen escaping the compound, wounded, but alive]].]]
** In ''Terror'', the vampire [[spoiler: escaping his cage and single-handedly taking down the militia group before [[TakingYouWithMe blowing himself up and destroying the entire compound]].]]


Added DiffLines:

* NightmareFuel: It's a ''V/H/S'' movie, a series known for found footage terror. Naturally, it's full of this.

* HarsherInHindsight: Slater referring UsefulNotes/BillClinton as a grease stain in the segment "Terror" would follow by the news that Clinton was hospitalized due to an infection shortly after the release of this film.

* WinBackTheCrowd: General opinion is that, whether or not one thinks it's as good as the first two ''V/H/S'' films, it's still a return to form after ''Viral''. It also became [[https://screenrant.com/vhs-94-movie-streaming-views-record-shudder/ Shudder's most widely-viewed film]] after its premiere on the streaming service.
