‘V/H/S’ Is Now On VOD – Chat Live Here On Bloody, Write Reviews!
They’ve been tracking you…
We’re beyond excited to announce that our first Bloody Disgusting feature, V/H/S, is now starting to trickle on various On Demand platforms (a month before its October 5 theatrical release!)! While iTunes (AppleTV) has it available immediately, it will also hit Amazon, Charter, Comcast, Google Play, DirecTV, Playstation 3, SuddenLink, Time Warner, VUDU and Xbox Zune by tomorrow via Magnet Releasing. You can find out exactly where to rent it by clicking here.
Produced by Tom and myself, along with Gary Binkow, Roxanne Benjamin and Zak Zeman, we were blessed to work with the talented filmmaking posse including 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), along with YouTube sensations Radio Silence.
Now, it would be highly unethical for us to review our own film here on Bloody, which is why we’re enlisting you guys to make or break it! It would mean everything in the world to us if you took the time to write a review. Being that Bloody is our lifeblood, we can only hope that we delivered something that makes you proud to be a reader. Good or bad, we want to share this experience with you!
To get you guys interacting, we’ve also set up a pretty cool V/H/S HUB where you guys can live chat your thoughts on the film. If you decide to tweet please use the #VHSmovie [o o] hashtag. @MagnetReleasing will be paying attention, too. You’ll also find more at the film’s official website.
“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.”

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.
