I had the chance to watch Magnet Releasing’s V/H/S last night, and it is a pretty solid anthology horror flick. The movie follows “a group of misfits hired to burglarize a house to find a rare VHS tape, only to find more found footage than they wanted to see.” There are five VHS tapes that we are shown throughout the course of the film. Each movie comes from a different director including Adam Wingard (You’re Next), Glenn McQuaid (I Sell the Dead), David Bruckner (The Signal), Joe Swanberg (Autoerotic), and Ti West (The House of the Devil). Stay tuned for a video review over the weekend (read our review here), but for now we’ve got your chance to win a poster by simply showing your tapes! Keep reading for more information.
Official synopsis:
When a group of petty criminals is hired by a mysterious party to retrieve a rare piece of found footage from a rundown house in the middle of nowhere, they soon realize that the job isn’t going to be as easy as they thought. In the living room, a lifeless body holds court before a hub of old television sets, surrounded by stacks upon stacks of VHS tapes. As they search for the right one, they are treated to a seemingly endless number of horrifying videos, each stranger than the last.
Bringing together some of the top filmmakers in the game today, this wickedly conceived horror anthology sends the viewer through a gauntlet of suspense, terror, shock, and downright brutality—instantly distinguishing itself from a sea of lackluster found-footage horror flicks. The diverse and deviously creative minds behind V/H/S shatter any preconceived notions about the genre, making it feel inventive and captivating once again.
