In different phrases, one other found-footage extravaganza of shocks and nightmares within the grand custom of the V/H/S sequence—which has benefited enormously from its newer affiliation with Shudder.

Whereas each of these movies stretched the concept that VHS expertise would nonetheless be hanging round within the mid-to-late ‘90s, this newest launch returns to the heyday of VCR tradition: 1985.
This time round, the contributing administrators are David Bruckner (who directed a phase within the very first V/H/S again in 2012, and went on to make Hellraiser and The Evening Home), Gigi Saul Guerrero (Bingo Hell), Natasha Kermani (Fortunate), Scott Derrickson (Sinister, Physician Unusual, The Black Telephone), and Mike P. Nelson (2021’s Incorrect Flip); stars embrace Freddy Rodriguez, Dani Deetté, Justen Jones, and Rolando Davila-Beltran. The plot? Effectively, right here’s all you get: it’s “an ominous mixtape mixing by no means earlier than seen snuff footage with nightmarish newscasts and disturbing residence video to create a surreal, analog mashup of the forgotten ‘80s.”
Yep, sounds about proper—and we’re completely prepared for an additional lo-fi journey to the previous that’ll infect our future nightmares. Feast your eyes when V/H/S/85 hits Shudder October 6.
