The first short is great (Amateur Night), the others range from mediocre to bad. "The Sick Thing That Happened to Emily When She Was Younger" has invented the "computer screen horror genre" but there are much better films shot in this way (for example Host 2020). The story that links all the shorts together is crap, it's also supposed to be one vhs tape but the action is obviously shot by multiple cameras and some of them are clearly digital cameras. Furthermore the first story is recorded by a pair of spy glasses, why they are seeing it on a vhs tape? I have the impression that this was a fun and innovative take on the horror genre in 2012, but it hasn't aged so well now.
