There is something kind of creepy about older film technologies. While Blu-rays and DVDs are so clean and digital, VHS, beta and film have this strange worn quality of antiquity where secrets can hide. We've seen recent horror movies take advantage of it already, from movies like The Ring to Paranormal Activity 3, and now another one is coming down the pipe and it looks rather terrifying.
Yahoo! has posted the first trailer for the upcoming horror film V/H/S and as an extra special bonus it happens to be a red band trailer. Be warned that this is definitely not safe for work!
Premiering at this year's Sundance Film Festival, V/H/S is a multi-storied horror film told through the lens of found footage. The movie is written and directed by Adam Wingard, David Bruckner, Ti West, Glenn McQuaid, Joe Swanberg, and the directing quartet known as Radio Silence and is about a group of teens who are hired to rob an abandoned house and steal a videotape. When they find the tape they decide to give it a watch, and it doesn't take long for them to see the consequences of doing so. Look for V/H/S in theaters on October 5th.
