A POV found footage horror film from the perspective of Americas top genre filmmakers. A group of misfits are hired by an unknown third party to burglarize a desolate house in the countryside and acquire a rare tape. Upon searching the house the guys are confronted with a dead body a hub of old televisions and an endless supply of cryptic footage each video stranger than the last.

Review

Listen the only way to truly enjoy a horror film is in a large pitch black room with deafening surround sound and a group of people just as scared as you are. Other times a laptop works too. But I and a group of about 100 others were privileged to catch the first Canadian premiere of VHS presented by the Toronto After Dark Film Festival. Enough plugs onto the film right My review. See it! If you love horror if you hate horror if you think you might like it and wanna try it out just see it! Without spoiling anything I will say that there are about 5 or 6 anthology stories tied around a main story in which four guys break into a house to look for a specific video tape. They find a lot more let me tell you. Some of the segments are better than others (trust me you'll know which ones) but overall VHS is one of the most imaginative jolting riveting heartbeatingoutsideofyourchestbecauseitssointense horror films of recent time. Fans of Creepshow 1 and 2 Tales From the Darkside Twilight Zone (the movie) and even Stephen King if you get the chance to watch VHS do it! It's bloody it's scary it's haunting and if you're anything like me you'll know it scared you when it's 143 in the morning and the only thing you can do to make yourself fall asleep is to review the film on IMDb.
