V/H/S/94 takes the horror anthology back in time in this bloody teaser
Filmmakers Simon Barrett, Timo Tjahjanto, Jennifer Reeder, Ryan Prows, and Chloe Okuno take on the spooky tapes in the fourth installment
The V/H/S movies are home to some of the cleverest, most gruesome, and sometimes wackiest horror shorts around, but after three movies, the basic concept of finding a functioning VCR in a spooky location full of cursed/gross/kinda funny video tapes has begun to strain credibility. VCRs, even evil VCRs, will stop working eventually, and nobody wants to watch a horror anthology called D/V/D or i/T/unes (though the third movie dropped the VCR conceit anyway). So, for the fourth installment in the series, the creators have gone back to the series’ roots—or should we say reels?—with a prequel set in the ‘90s. Titled V/H/S/94, the new film is going straight to Shudder, the streaming service that sometimes feels the most like a stack of haunted tapes. (Amazon Prime feels the most like a stack of non-haunted tapes.)
