VIDEO SHOP TALES OF TERROR: “The film is a loving tribute to the VHS age of the 1980s, produced by fans of that era, and has six short stories based around a sinister and creepy video shop. All the segments were directed by popular directors from the London/South East indie horror industry such as MJ Dixon, Sam Mason Bell, Ciao Handy, Alex Churchyard, Tom Lee Rutter and Michael Fausti, and the film was a double sell out at the Horror On Sea Horror Festival when it premiered there in 2023.

The film has received very positive reviews and the Limited Edition Blu-ray is close to selling out. The film has also recently made its debut on Amazon Prime Video & Tubi. Thanks to this great reception, two sequels have already been greenlit and the first of those is already half completed.”
