VHS Lives: A Schlockumentary (2017)

"VHS Lives: A Schlockumentary" is a riveting journey into an era that shaped film history like no other - the unforgettable VHS epoch. Born in the vibrant 70s, when every corner boasted a Blockbuster, it was an era that faded quietly into the shadows with the dawn of DVDs in the early 2000s. Yet, much like a Phoenix, the VHS is rising from the ashes, rekindled and reshaped by an incredibly dedicated and fervent fan-base, determined to keep this unique medium alive. This compelling documentary plunges into the minds of these passionate VHS collectors, unveiling the reasons why this seemingly obsolete format has once again caught the public's attention and why VHS collecting is now a cult phenomenon rivalling the resurgence of vinyl records and full beards. Serving as a stark reminder of a bygone era, this film suggests that true hipness lies not in modern technology, but in the musty scent of old video stores and the possession of treasured horror big box video nasties. Unravel the magnetic tape of nostalgia as "VHS Lives" explores the revival of this once dead format, under the expert direction and production of Tony Newton, the creative mind behind "60 Seconds to Die".
