Death by VHS (2013)
2/10
Well. At least they tried. Ultra low budget mess.

Theres low budget and then there is non existent budget.

This is somewhere below even that. Ha ha

Yes it's what you'd expect.

Few kids get their parent camcorder, some fake blood from the halloween store and decide theyll make a film.

Lot of people get the idea to do these things thwn lose enthusiasm. So credit to them for actually getting the film finished and I'm sure they had a lot of fun doing it and showing off their mini masterpiece.

They obviously saw the VHS series of films and thought be easier to do short films than tru a full length. The story evolves around a beat up old Video player these two kids buy off a dodgy guy in a ridiculous Slash wig wih an even worse supposed jamaican accent or something. It really is poorly done and I guess for comic effect. But the audience are laughing at rather than with.

The bag if vhs they get have various horror short films on them and make them sicker the more they watch ....... The shorts are totally unoriginal. Zombies taking over, a hideously deformed woman. Buys a beauty serum which makes her 'beautiful' (apart from the acne) but she needs blood to survive. Theres an even worse Krampus style one which is probably the worst of the lot. The Lupus one has Jesus fighting a rabbit. Which has a couple of attractive blondes in it which made me stick with it. But was again bad.

So.

Ultra low home video fun with friends which must have been a blast to make but somehow managed to get out to the public. And I saw it in UK streaming.

I was bored ai gave it a look.

Well done for getting it made. But not sure this is the career for anyone in the film.
