Are you a horror fan who enjoys a bit of nostalgia? If the answer is yes, Black Fawn Distribution has a movie for you, The Last Video Store. And it’s heading your way.
In the film, a young woman stumbles upon a legendary “cursed tape” in her old VHS collection. Deciding to share the discovery with the eccentric owner of her local video store, they unwittingly awaken a slumbering evil. The tape unleashes a horde of iconic cinematic villains into the real world, turning their nostalgic night into a terrifying nightmare.
The Last Video Store, directed by Cody Kennedy and Tim Rutherford, stars Kevin Martin, Yaayaa Adams, Josh Lerner, Leland Tilden, and Matthew Kennedy. Joshua Roach and Tim Rutherford wrote the script. Greg Jeffs and Laurence Gendron produced the film.
“Directors Cody Kennedy and Tim Rutherford worked relentlessly for years to create this wild tribute to 80’s genre filmmaking and video
stores, a movie that smells like buttery popcorn and VHS plastic,” states producer Laurence Gendron of Genco Pictures. “I know how much
we love and appreciate movies in Canada, and I can’t wait for audiences to discover The Last Video Store.”
The film continues its successful worldwide film festival run that included screenings at Fantastic Fest (Austin, Texas), Frightfest
(UK), Blood In The Snow (Toronto), Monster Fest (Australia), Terror Molins (Spain), and Calgary Underground Film Fest (Calgary). It will be screened at the upcoming festivals Forest City Film Fest (London, Ontario) on October 25 and Hellifax Horror Fest (Halifax, Nova Scotia) on November 3, 2024.
This fright-filled flick, a love letter to 80s horror, will open in Canadian theaters beginning October 24. For those who prefer to watch from the comfort of your couch, The Last Video Store will be available on Blu-ray from Black Fawn Distribution in early 2025 in the US and Canada.
