V/H/S 85 is the sixth entry to the series. Overall, I felt it started off strong and ended a little weak. I think the standout segments are definitely No Wake/Ambrosia (the first segment, which finishes later) and Dreamkiller.

The man behind Dreamkiller is also responsible for Sinister, and it shows with the “home movie” style of found footage video.

The frame story had me interested at first but wasn’t fully developed.

I really enjoyed how they jumped around with stories, though. Instead of always having the entirety of a segment play out linearly, a couple segments just end/glitch and another one starts before we eventually cut back to something else. Sort of like how television jumps around to keep things moving. I feel that worked well here because it let the directors skip a lot of unnecessary build up or exposition that we see in the other VHS series entries.

Anyone here see it? Have a favorite segment? Where does this one fall on your list?

I think VHS 94 is still top of my list (unpopular, I know).
