Note to self: If I ever stay at a secluded house in the middle of nowhere and stumble across a seemingly innocuous VHS tape, do not pop that puppy into the nearest VCR. Writer/director Gautier Cazenave’s House of VHS, which is currently shopping at EFM, explores what happens when a group of friends are a little too nosy for their own good. Sometimes it’s healthy to just mind your own damn business, especially when it comes to video cassette tapes that don’t below to you.
Synopsis:
A group of young people hailing from six different countries (France, UK, US, Australia, Italy and Belgium) take off for a summer vacation in the French countryside.
They force their way into an old abandoned house, and plan on spending a good time despite having no water or electricity. But one of them discovers a dusty trunk full of VHS tapes, with a mysterious VCR that seems able to work without electricity.
After they start watching the bizarre movies recorded on the tapes, the students realize that there are strange forces at work, and that their lives might be in danger.
