Video Shop Tales of Terror

Great little anthology film. Shows how good uk indie horror can be. All set around a old video rental store which I remember some being a little grimy but not this bad🤣 as with all anthology films some segments stand out better than others. My personal favourite segment was Mary Whitehouse you're a c#@t which the title alone is aimed at people of a certain age that remember her personal vendetta against our freedom of choice. We also need to mention the spoof trailers especially Tony Mardons don't sit on his face which is absolutely bonkers. All in all a decent watch especially for indie horror fans. Sequels are already in the works which bodes well.

Fun, Campy and Gorey Horror Anthology. Some great Atompsheric Filming and Referances to some Classic Horror and it stars Dani Thompson as a Video Shop Horror Hostess.

A lot of fun a great Anthology by Genre Filmmakers.

I watched a showing of the Horror Anthology at Quad Cinema in Derby in early 2023. I also own the Self-Distubted Blu Ray sold by the film-makers.

It was great fun and ambitious ar two hours running time.

I really loved the retro style the film was shot in. I also liked the Evil Dead and Mary Whitehouse tributes. Whitehouse was of course an anti-advocate for Horror films on VHS in the day.

Check out it out, if you can. Good Horror Anthology Fun.

Cheap brit horror anthology.

Way too long, but surprisingly not terrible at times.

I particularly liked the evil dead/video nasty segment.

Overall it's hard to recommend. A lot of it is unimaginative & dull. & it is over 2 hours ffs. Needed to be trimmed massively

But it had its moments. Enough of them that it makes me wonder why most of it was poor when they clearly had the ability to make things that weren't too bad.

Some of the girls were pretty hot. Wish there was more nudity. Shame Dani Thompson is in it cause she cannot act. She must be good for one thing. Everyone else is pretty good though.

If you're a fan of lowbudget and low brow horror with some laughs this has much to offer.

Like most anthology movies it's hit and mix but more hits. Stupid,gory and mostly fun. Some of the humour didn't quite work for me, felt kinda dates but it's mostly really fun and as it's set in the vhs era it should seem dated yeah?

Horror nerds track this down. Bonkers and not for everybody. Some will love it though. Worth watching for the Mary Whitehouse segment alone...... if you remember her of course and I love the mocking of British gangster movie makers.

Some recognisable faces for brit horror fans to.

One of the best horror films I've seen in a long time. The style of the segments were unique each with the own way of proving differential memories of nostalgia from its audience.

As somebody raised when video tapes were loosing fashion I've always had an appreciation for these kind of retro movies. Video Shop Tales Of Terror, what with its cheesy pun filled comedy to the use of physical over digital special effects. This is a movie I shall watch again and recommend to others.

Overall I want to finish this review by thanking all the different teams due to this being an anthology movie which in recent times have become more of a limited concept and all parties involved should ultimately be proud of what they've achieved.
