V/H/S 2 coming this Summer!

I got V/H/S for Christmas and still have yet to watch it. Heck, by the time I do get around to it, I can probably check out its sequel! (Wow, that was quick. They didn't waste any time in franchising this did they?) V/H/S 2 (which I thought was going to be S-V/H/S) will feature another scenario involving mysterious VHS tapes full of horrifying imagery and will hit on demand services on June 6th, and get a limited theatrical release on July 12th. Details are still sparse (can't even seem to find a poster for the movie yet) but I've got a synopsis, teaser trailer, and a few photo stills to share with you.

SYNOPSIS:
Searching for a missing student, two private investigators break into his abandoned house and find another collection of mysterious VHS tapes. In viewing the horrific contents of each cassette, they realize there may be terrifying motives behind the student’s disappearance.

Hmm... not really too much to go on there, is there? Well maybe the teaser trailer will enlighten us a bit more about some of the crazy stuff the investigators find on those VHS tapes:


Yeah it looks pretty solid, I'll most definitely give it a look. If you like what you've seen so far, here's a few images direct from the film to get you psyched for more found footage shenanigans.

NO ONE MOVE, OR THE GUY IN THE WHITE SHIRT GETS IT!

Stop crying. It's just a flesh wound.

Once again V/H/S 2 will be available to stream through various VOD services on June 6th. I am most definitely gonna give it a look that weekend; will be a great way to get pumped for the next Hudson Horror Show!

Late but genius marketing: V/H/S coming out on VHS!

In a bold (but rather late) marketing move, Magnet Releasing has decided to release "V/H/S" on VHS! While this may seem like a no brainer, I am pretty surprised that they are doing this.

VHS has long been considered a dead format, but like the creatures that lurked on many of the video tapes we rented in our youth, the format just keeps coming back from the dead. (I should note that 2009's "House of the Devil" came out in a limited DVD/VHS combo; also Troma president Lloyd Kaufman released his studio's flagship film, "The Toxic Avenger," in a limited edition big box VHS last year.)

There's no word on a release date, or if VHS copies of "V/H/S" will be limited in number (making them highly collectible), but once I heard something I'll most definitely post it here.

As for the film itself, I got the Blu-ray for Christmas but still have yet to watch it. It seems to have had a polarizing effect on the Horror community; there's no middle ground when it comes to this movie. You either love it or you hate it. It has my curiosity and will perhaps soon have my full attention. Regardless about how you feel about this movie, it's clear that it must have done pretty well because the sequel, "S-VHS" is already in the works and due out later this year!
