Shudder has announced the return of the found footage anthology franchise, V/H/S, with its fifth installment, V/H/S/99.
The Shudder original film will release Thursday, October 20. The latest franchise entry will feature horror filmmakers Maggie Levin (Into The Dark: My Valentine), Johannes Roberts (Resident Evil: Welcome To Raccoon City), Flying Lotus (Kuso), Tyler MacIntyre (Tragedy Girls), and Joseph & Vanessa Winter (Deadstream)
In V/H/S/99, a thirsty teenager’s home video leads to a series of horrifying revelations.
Craig Engler, GM of Shudder, said:
“V/H/S/94 set a new bar for what is already a fantastic film franchise, featuring some of the best horror anthology segments in recent memory by an incredible lineup of filmmakers. We knew immediately that we wanted to continue the series, and what the producers have come up with in V/H/S/99 will be the biggest and best film yet in the series, and we can’t wait for Shudder members to see it.”
“The last year of the ’90s was a perfect playground for us” said producer Josh Goldbloom. “DVD’s surpassed VHS, Blair Witch took the world by storm, and Y2K fears created a sense of apocalyptic dread. Add to that six of the most creative genre filmmakers in the world, and we’re confident this is the biggest, baddest, and most wildly savage V/H/S yet!”
“Fans of our franchise are going to love V/H/S/99,” said executive producer Michael Schreiber. “Each new film in the series is the chance to showcase a different ensemble of talented and diverse filmmakers. I’m extremely proud of the work that V/H/S/99’s filmmakers have put in to bring their terrifying visions to life.”
Producers include Goldbloom for Cinepocalypse, Brad Miska for Bloody Disgusting, David Bruckner, filmmaking collective Radio Silence (Chad Villella, Matt Bettinelli-Olpin, & Tyler Gillett), and James Harris. Schreiber and Adam Boorstin executive produced the film for Studio71.
