The V/H/S Horror Series Will Next Tackle the Apocalyptic Year of 1999

The V/H/S found-footage horror anthology sequence skilled a shot of adrenaline final yr with V/H/S/94, which regardless of being the fourth movie in the principle franchise was most likely its best-received entry so far. Shudder hopes to maintain the freaky magic going with V/H/S/99, a brand new installment set in guess which yr.

It’ll hit the streamer simply earlier than Halloween, and options the contributions of filmmakers Maggie Levin (Into The Dark: My Valentine), Johannes Roberts (47 Meters Down, Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City), Flying Lotus (Kuso), Tyler MacIntyre (Tragedy Girls), and Joseph and Vanessa Winter (Deadstream). If 1999 feels nearly too late for the realm of VCRs and “be kind, rewind,” nicely—that’s very a lot on objective. According to the official synopsis, “V/H/S/99 harkens back to the final punk rock analog days of VHS, while taking one giant leap forward into the hellish new millennium. In V/H/S/99, a thirsty teenager’s home video leads to a series of horrifying revelations.”

Naturally, these concerned behind the scenes are pumped for its potential. Craig Engler, head of Shudder, calls it “the biggest and best film yet in the series” in a Shudder press launch, whereas producer Josh Goldbloom explains the timeline additional: “The last year of the ‘90s was a perfect playground for us. DVDs 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!”

Apocalyptic dread? Wildly savage? We’re curious, to say the least. V/H/S/99 hits Shudder on October 20.
