V/H/S/85

After the nightmarish V/H/S/99 (2022), V/H/S/85 jumps back in time with a new anthology of lo-fi found-footage horror stories from long-forgotten 1985. Composed of five spine-chilling segments, the terrifying mash-up of analogue horrors starts with David Bruckner's wraparound story, "Total Copy", a tale of excessive television consumption. Then, in Mike P. Nelson's two-part short "No Wake/Ambrosia", a trip to eerie Lake Evil brings to light a shocking, long-standing family tradition drenched in blood. The following episode, Gigi Saul Guerrero's "God of Death", unearths a well-buried ancient secret in the aftermath of the catastrophic 1985 Mexico City earthquake. Next up, in Natasha Kermani's "TKNOGD", virtual supernatural terror awaits an avant-garde performance artist after taking things too far with forces far beyond her understanding. Finally, in Scott Derrickson's "Dreamkill", a police detective, puzzled by strange VHS tapes depicting a psychotic murderer's killing spree, finds more than he bargained for when he unravels the prime suspect's demented secret.
