[Random Cool] ‘V/H/S’ Gets The Infamous Movie Bar Treatment!
My brother just e-mailed me over a link to a website called Movie Bar Code, which carries one simple premise: they take every single frame from a movie, compress it into a single line, and then line them up next to each other so you get a bar code.
Added just the other day was a barcode for V/H/S, made me insanely excited. It’s super cool, in my opinion at least, so I wanted to share it with you guys. (I love how you can plainly see the Skype portion.)

‘V/H/S’ Directing Quartet, Radio Silence, Attached To Fox Horror Project!
Team V/H/S is growing up right before our very eyes as Fox has picked up an untitled found footage project written by Lindsay Devlin with directing team Radio Silence on board to helm, says the Hollywood Reporter.
The logline is being kept secret to protect the idea from falling into the wrong hands, but it is described as being female-driven and having horror elements.
John Davis is producing via his Fox-based Davis Entertainment banner. Davis dipped into his discretionary fund to acquire the project as a pitch back in the spring. Devlin then wrote the script, attracting the directing team which is comprised of Tyler Gillett, Matt Bettinelli-Olpin, Chad Villella and Justin Martinez.
The quartet wrote and directed the final segment on our indie horror anthology V/H/S, now on VOD, DVD and Blu-ray. They gained a following for making interactive shorts with sci-fi, horror and comedy themes when the group was earlier known as Chad, Matt and Rob. READ MORE

Want A Taste Of An Alternate ‘V/H/S’ Ending!?

While there’s not much of a spoiler here, I’d probably suggest you check out the movie before reading on.
Barrett, who penned both the wrap, “Tape 56,” and Joe Swanberg’s “The Strange Thing That Happened To Emily When She Was Younger,” shared this: “For your confusion/indifference, here is a still image from a deleted scene we shot for V/H/S. It will NOT be on the DVD, etc. The photo looks cool but the scene ultimately didn’t fit the film.”
In the film directed by the likes of Adam Wingard, Ti West, David Bruckner, Glenn McQuaid, Radio Silence and Joe Swanberg, “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.
