Just watched it for the first time, and WOW, not what I was expecting!

For some reason, I had assumed V/H/S was a film about some people who stumble upon a stash of old snuff films. Was quite surprised when in the first scene you find out that weird girl is a succubus. I have to say, I wasn't expecting anything supernatural. Was anyone else surprised?

Also, what's the deal with the VHS tapes? These videos are obviously quite modern, especially the one revolving around the online video chat. How and why would something like that ever end up on a cassette-type medium?
