V/H/S/99 Shudder

Produced by Bloody Disgusting, the hit found footage horror franchise is back with V/H/S/99, and the latest installment in the saga is NOW STREAMING exclusively on Shudder!

With 25 reviews at this time, V/H/S/99 is currently Certified Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, with Victor Stiff from That Shelf writing that the film “offers all you could want from a horror anthology; and it’s a top-tier found footage movie, too.” Cody Leach raves, “V/H/S/99 contains one of the best and most hilarious horror shorts I’ve ever seen.”

Kat Hughes from THN writes, “V/H/S/99 is a delightful treasure trove of terror that deserves to be watched with as many of your friends as you can muster.”

Writing for ComicBook.com, Patrick Cavanaugh notes: “The strength of the series, and this installment especially, is in how it always manages to circumvent expectations, no matter how redundant the found-footage genre has become or how familiar any of the segments’ premises might be.”

You can watch the official trailer below and stream V/H/S/99 on Shudder now!

In V/H/S/99, the follow-up to last year’s hugely successful V/H/S/94 – #HailRaatma – a thirsty teenager’s home video leads to a series of horrifying revelations.

V/H/S/99 harkens back to the final punk rock analog days of VHS while taking one giant leap forward into the hellish new millennium.

For the first time ever there are no familiar faces returning to the franchise…

Bloody Disgusting are collectively huge fans of Johannes Roberts. While he burst onto the scene with Storage 24, he announced himself with the smash summer hit 47 Meters Down before bringing the masked killers back to life in The Strangers: Prey at Night. He most recently directed the feature game adaptation Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City. You’ll pledge yourself to Roberts after you see his segment.

Many horror fans don’t know their names yet but they will when they stream their outrageous horror-comedy Deadstream on Shudder, available now. Vanessa & Joseph Winter come straight from their SXSW hit to the V/H/S family and deliver one of the most insane segments ever recorded.

Maggie Levin is a filmmaker with rock n’ roll roots. We became fans after catching her directorial debut My Valentine for Hulu and Blumhouse’s “Into the Dark” horror anthology series. She also served as second unit director for Scott Derrickson’s smash-hit The Black Phone. Maggie’s segment delivers all the punk rock chaos you’d expect from V/H/S.

Tragedy Girls is a huge fan favorite here on Bloody Disgusting and we’ve been dying to get director Tyler MacIntyre to join the V/H/S family. What he caught on tape will have you questioning the saying, “just let kids be kids.”

Last but not least is musician-turned-director Flying Lotus, who helmed the trippy festival nightmare Kuso and is in prep on the sci-fi horror film Ash. He brings all the weird you wished for in V/H/S/99. Be careful what you wish for.

Producers include Josh Goldbloom for Cinepocalypse, Brad Miska for Bloody Disgusting, David Bruckner (V/H/S, The Night House, Hellraiser), filmmaking collective Radio Silence (Chad Villella, Matt Bettinelli-Olpin, & Tyler GillettReady or Not, Scream), and James Harris.

V/H/S/99 is Executive Produced by Michael Schreiber & Adam Boorstin for Studio71.

Dev Patel’s ‘Monkey Man’ Is Now Available to Watch at Home!

After pulling in $28 million at the worldwide box office this month, director (and star) Dev Patel’s critically acclaimed action-thriller Monkey Man is now available to watch at home.

You can rent Monkey Man for $19.99 or digitally purchase the film for $24.99!

Monkey Man is currently 88% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, with Bloody Disgusting’s head critic Meagan Navarro awarding the film 4.5/5 stars in her review out of SXSW back in March.

Meagan raves, “While the violence onscreen is palpable and painful, it’s not just the exquisite fight choreography and thrilling action set pieces that set Monkey Man apart but also its political consciousness, unique narrative structure, and myth-making scale.”

“While Monkey Man pays tribute to all of the action genre’s greats, from the Indonesian action classics to Korean revenge cinema and even a John Wick joke or two, Dev Patel’s cultural spin and unique narrative structure leave behind all influences in the dust for new terrain,” Meagan’s review continues.

She adds, “Monkey Man presents Dev Patel as a new action hero, a tenacious underdog with a penetrating stare who bites, bludgeons, and stabs his way through bodies to gloriously bloody excess. More excitingly, the film introduces Patel as a strong visionary right out of the gate.”

Inspired by the legend of Hanuman, Monkey Man stars Patel as Kid, an anonymous young man who ekes out a meager living in an underground fight club where, night after night, wearing a gorilla mask, he is beaten bloody by more popular fighters for cash. After years of suppressed rage, Kid discovers a way to infiltrate the enclave of the city’s sinister elite. As his childhood trauma boils over, his mysteriously scarred hands unleash an explosive campaign of retribution to settle the score with the men who took everything from him.

Monkey Man is produced by Jordan Peele’s Monkeypaw Productions.
