"Tron: Ares" makes up for its perfunctory story with lots of striking electro-razzle-dazzle and a thunderous NIN soundtrack (and, also, glorious Jared Leto hair).

“V/H/S/Halloween” is predictably uneven, but like its franchise predecessors, it boasts enough memorable installments (and unholy sights) to make it a seasonal horror treat.
