Can a creepy stack of found-footage tapes beat a literal global dictionary of gore? Welcome back to CinemaJam Versus, the weekly format where we put two thematic movie heavyweights head-to-head through six brutal battle rounds to determine which film reigns supreme—and which one we'd completely erase from cinema history!

In this episode, Pablo (Montreal) and Sebastian (Austin) break down the structural chaos, insane directorial styles, and jaw-dropping shock values of the two definitive horror anthologies of 2012: V/H/S and The ABCs of Death. From David Bruckner's iconic Amateur Night to Timo Tjahjanto’s profoundly disturbing Libido, we dissect what makes a short-form horror segment truly effective. We also hand out a historic, double-zero scoring verdict that you definitely won't want to miss!
