The voyeuristic allure of “found footage” has fascinated audiences from its inception in cinema, with films like Man Bites Dog and The Blair Witch Project practically redefining the boundaries of on-screen terror, along with more obscure entries like Jean-Teddy Fillppe’s Forbidden Files and Lunchmeat favorite America’s Deadliest Home Video displaying even earlier employment of found footage techniques to captivate curious audiences. As exemplified in ADHV, it seems that the VHS format fully embodies those aesthetic elements which take that “discovered and uncovered” plausibility to a whole new level. How many times have you happened upon an unmarked VHS tape that...

Jorg Buttgereit’s 1987 film NEKRomantik embodies the art of cinematic transgression. It’s raw, arresting, unusually beautiful and abundantly shocking imagery / subject matter has it firmly cemented in the annals of extreme and indelible cult cinema. Many Tapeheads are likely aware of the much coveted original Film Threat VHS release of NEKRomantik, which is indeed a VHSexy slab both for aesthetic and historical reasons, but is also apt to cost you an arm and leg. That prohibitive collector-driven price tag has stopped many Videovores from feeding an official release of this flick to their VCR. Nascent fresh VHS label Helvete...

It’s no VHSecret that the advent of fresh VHS releases has been majorly driven forward by short and feature-length indie films. The platform of limited edition VHS for these flicks offers both the releasing entity and the filmmakers a groovy avenue to expand their visibility while simultaneously creating a piece that celebrates and perpetuates their affection for the analog aesthetic. It’s truly terrific stuff, Tapeheads. The radical crew over at Magnetic Magic Rentals are certainly no VHStrangers to this winning rewind-inclined kind of operation having already offered a couple of choice slabs of indie cinematic audacity with Thomas Shablesky’s insano...
