Adjust Your Tracking: The Untold Story of the VHS Collector

A wicked documentary showing the sub culture of finding and collecting VHS even though it gets harder and harder to track them down. Mostly horror VHS is sought with people paying ridiculous amounts for certain titles ($660.00 for Tales Of The Quadead Zone). They look at several collectors collections and interview them. I'm an avid collector myself with almost 7000 dvds so I enjoyed it. I don't care myself what format I get as long as I get to watch it.

It is cool however that people like Massacre Video now release on DVD all those rare VHS only titles like Tales From The Quadead Zone and Spine. Very informative flick. Of course I watched this on DVD.

The choice to film it in VHS style may put off some, but if you want to see a bunch of weirdos and hoarders talking about how much they love VHS movies, this is for you! At the least, it'll make you more confident in your own life choices.

I was already eager to watch this documentary but i was completely blow away by it...The fact that i finally got to see the faces of those who appreciate those wonderful video treasures (even some of those who I've bidded against on ebay) who are really into the VHS lifestyle, and are the privileged curators responsible to take care of that powerful knowledge and art that is stored in that wonderful format we all know and love as VHS...Im so happy that i got the opportunity to watch this in my hometown(TJ), and also that we had a live feed via skype with the director/creators of this awesome documentary, its like any other, it was a very rare experience, the kind that you didn't want it to end, so hopefully we get an extended version soon, and maybe even participate somehow and/or help with a sequel :-).

Recent years the interest in collecting VHS tapes seems to have increased. I don't do that myself but I've watched couple of collectors' web shows because I enjoy the nostalgic 80's feel of the cover artworks and of course like to hear recommendations and opinions on crazy cult movies.

Adjust Your Tracking brings you a whole bunch of people involved in this retro hobby. There's talk about where did their collecting start, general memories from the past, what are the most expensive tapes they have bought, and all kind of other interesting talk. They bring back a whole different time. I don't remember it like that because I was born just a bit too late, so it's interesting to hear how the video craze was in the early 80's. I feel like I've missed something cool because it wasn't until 90's that I could rent videos myself.

It's a very good documentary. Anybody interested in the 80's pop culture should see it.

No one before has dared to make a whole documentary on a video format many thought was dead for many years. For others, including myself, it has been thriving since it first came out. Dan Kinem does an amazing job interviewing several actors, directors, and collectors on their experiences with VHS and why they love it so much. Special guests include Lloyd Kaufman from Troma as well as Freg Vogel of Toe Tag Pictures as well as several other awesome people I am sure you will recognize. If your someone who likes going to Best Buy to purchase the newest hot DVD , then Adjust Your Tracking is absolutely not for you. There is no glamour, just loving independent fans and people who really have a strong love for VHS . Only the most hardcore fans and lovers of VHS dare to watch this film! You will absolutely love it! I highly recommend checking out Adjust Your Tracking: The Untold Story of the VHS Collector!
