Film News: V/H/S DVD & Blu-Ray release in December


Reported by Bloody-Disgusting.com's, Brad Miska (Mr. Disgusting), the horror indie film, "V/H/S" will be released on both DVD ($ 26.98) and Blu-Ray ($29.98) on December 4th, courtesy of Magonlia Pictures.


Available to view on VOD (video-on-demand) services and released in selected US theaters today, October 5th. V/H/S is a American anthology horror film that was shot with the "found-footage" motif in mind.


Synopsis:


"When a group of petty criminals is hired by a mysterious party to retrieve a rare piece of found footage from a random house in the middle of nowhere, they soon realize that the job isn't going to be 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 then the last."





DVD/Blu-Ray Extras:

  • Deleted scenes

  • Visual Effects feature

  • Behind-the-scenes feature

  • AXS TV: A Look at V/H/S feature 

  • Trailers



The directors that take part of  this horror anthology piece:


- Adam Wingard (You're Next, A Horrible Way to Die, Pop Skull)

- Simon Barrett (You're Next, Dead Birds, Red Sands)

- Ti West (The House of the Devil, The Roost, The Innkeepers)

- David Bruckner (The Signal)

- Joe Swanberg (Silver Bullets)

- Glenn McQuaid (I Sell the Dead)

- Radio Silence Productions "Chad, Matt and Rob" (YouTube partner)


The production team for this movie was Bloody-Disgusting Production, a film production company created by both Mr. Miska (the co-owner/co-founder of the aforementioned site) and the Collective management firm. The production subsidiary was announced and debuted last year.

The film made it's official debut at this year's Sundance Film Festival, during it's midnight movie run.

Trevor Groth, the programmer of the festival block talked about the film, stating:

"I give this all the credit in the world because conceptually it shouldn't have worked for me. Personally, I'm bored by found-footage films, which this is. And omnibus attempts rarely work. But this one does. It's terrifying, and very well executed."



During the film festival, Magnolia Pictures bought the US theatrical/DVD rights to the film for almost over one million dollars.






Again, V/H/S is now available to view on VOD services and in selected theaters nationwide. I recommend the film, go check out. It's a great movie and a great way to start getting into the holiday spirit.
