Video Shop Tales of Terror

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.

What a treat to see the amazing, fun & clever anthology film Video Shop Tales of Terror on a cinema screen. Shot mostly at The Mercury where we are this weekend, each of the stories are different. This is a love letter to the VHS and video nasty era.

Video shop Tales of Terror had a cracking premier at Horror On Sea and is an indie horror anthology with some solid segments and fun faux trailers. It focuses on the old VHS days and is definitely one to watch with your mates! Kudos to all involved for making this, fun and bonkers anthology happen The Evil Dead segment is just absolute genius & the segments between the films are inspired.

Check it out if you can.

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.

Another indie horror flick, this time a British anthology that's still mimicking grindhouse stylistics almost twenty years after the Rodriguez/Tarantino movie came out. I didn't have many hopes for this one other than the cool cover and indeed it turned out to be even worse than I expected. You get six or so stories here over two hours, all of them interchangeable black comedy splatters that spoof obvious targets like Mary Whitehouse. The wraparound story is set at an old video store. Production values and script quality bottom out here, although there are roles for scream queen Dani Thompson and HUMAN CENTIPEDE actor Laurence Harvey, but they're really not worth tuning in for.

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.
