Our anthology flick V/H/S is now available on DVD, Blu-ray and VHS in the UK, and to celebrate Bloody Disgusting will give (3) lucky UK readers both a VHS and Blu-ray copy of the film directed by 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. 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.”

Open to UK readers only, put VHS UK in the subject line and then send me YOUR FULL NAME and ADDRESS to [email protected]. Winners will be chosen at random this weekend.

In addition to this fun promotion, you can read up about the London video store re-opening for business this coming Friday. There will be a live Twitter party! Get the information here. READ MORE

To celebrate the highly anticipated release of our horror anthology, V/H/S, for one night only, London took a nostalgic trip back in time to the Video rental store! Below we’ve added a behind-the-scenes look at the special event, which I would have died to attend, as well as details as to how you can be part of the re-opening online this Friday!

Home of V/H/S: “Cellar Rentals Video Store” to return for one day only online!

“The scariest, rawest horror movie of the year” (Rolling Stone) has finally arrived in the UK! The celebrated portmanteau horror V/H/S is out now on DVD, Blu-ray and download through Momentum Pictures (in the UK). Having already opened ‘Cellar Rentals’ in London courtesy of Momentum Pictures where a rapturous crowd were transported back to the heady days of searching through racks upon racks of VHS tapes in order to find that perfect Saturday night scare, they decided that one night in London (after a lot of sorrow from people outside London who couldn’t come) just wasn’t enough, so they are bringing it to the rest of us…

To welcome the arrival, they are reopening the doors to ‘Cellar Rentals’ on Friday, February 1st for four hours from 2pm GMT (6am PST) to 6pm GMT (10am PST) via Twitter, where a hosted nostalgia-thon will allow us all to chat about videos of yesteryear, the arrival of V/H/S on DVD and Blu-ray and download in the UK plus… the final chance EVER to win a copy of V/H/S on VHS in the UK! We’ll be using the #InsertVHS4Fear hashtag from @fetchpublicity so make sure you are there to join in on the antics. Do not miss out! There will also be a link to a store filled with cool retro clips, trailers and more to digest and send us all back down memory lane one final time. Details and video inside! READ MORE

We’re incredibly excited to report that IMP Awards, the premiere poster website, has nominated the theatrical V/H/S one-sheet for “Best Horror Poster”!

“Bringing back memories of the poster for Visiting Hours this skull image made up of someone’s deranged video collection manages to hint at the plot of the film while still providing a creepy image,” says the site.

Designed by Gravillis Inc. for Magnet Releasing, the poster is nominated against The Cabin in the Woods, The Woman in Black, The Possession and In Their Skin.

V/H/S is now available on DVD, Blu-ray and even Netflix Instant. Another tape was discovered – S-VHS – and will premiere at Sundance this coming weekend. READ MORE

[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.)

In addition, this is a great time to let you know that V/H/S is now available on Netflix Instant, as well as DVD, Blu-ray, and various VOD platforms. Thanks again for all of your support! READ MORE

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.

So who is part of the madness, you ask? 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.

[Interview] Ti West On ‘V/H/S’ And Bringing The Unexpected Into Genre Film

V/H/S is now available on various On Demand platforms (a month before its October 5 theatrical release!)! While iTunes (AppleTV) has it, it’s also hitting Amazon, Charter, Comcast, Google Play, DirecTV, Playstation 3, SuddenLink, Time Warner, VUDU and Xbox Zune via Magnet Releasing.

Ti West (The Innkeepers, The House Of The Devil) directed the segment called “Second Honeymoon”, which stars Joe Swanberg (You’re Next, A Horrible Way To Die) and Sophia Takal (24 Exposures) as a young married couple trying to get some excitement back into their lives via a road trip through the southwest. Do things go according to plan? No. Sh*t gets scray (I heard some skate kids using that word and I’ve co-opted it).

I recently spoke with West about crafting his segment, his character-centric approach to filmmaking and how thrives on what you’re not expecting to see in a genre film. Head inside to check it out! READ MORE

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. READ MORE
