“These late fees will cost you an arm and a leg!”

In the neon-soaked afterglow of a forgotten era, VHS resurrects the glory and grime of 80s video-store culture and the bloody price of nostalgia. When washed up heir Max Beta discovers that the tapes from his family’s once mighty “Reel Fun Video” empire have been scattered across the country, he dispatches his deranged enforcers—the Video Hit Squad—to reclaim every last cassette and “collect” the overdue fees... in blood.

Across the dim aisles of indie studios and streaming burnt web personalities, a mismatched crew of film nerds, influencers, and former employees find themselves trapped in a warped game of late-night carnage. As analog nightmares come to life, they must survive masked killers armed with rewinder blades, laser-disc weapons, and a deadly sense of cinematic justice.

A love letter to the era of sticky-floored video stores and over-the-top gore, VHS is part horror-comedy, part satire, and 100% schlock-fuelled chaos. Expect sleaze, synthwave, and screaming, where every rewind could be your last, and every “Be Kind Rewind” sticker hides a body count.

From Schlock and Awe Films and cult director Newt Wallen, VHS is a blood splattered tribute to physical media obsession, fandom gone feral, and the high price of nostalgia in the digital age.
