Dive down the rabbit hole with Straight to VHS, a documentary that attempts to unveil the mysteries of Uruguay’s most notorious cult film and its director. Direct-to-video oddities flourished in the ’80s. VHS tapes were cheap, and they gave a gritty platform to filmmakers in every nook and cranny, allowing them to prolifically produce entertainment that defied most cinematic conventions. Fast forward to Uruguay in 1988, when an enigmatic and mercurial director, Manuel Lamas, put an indelible stamp on the industry with ACTO DE VIOLENCIA EN UNA JOVEN PERIODISTA (also known as ACT OF VIOLENCE IN A YOUNG JOURNALIST), a low-budget release that quickly gained fame as Uruguay’s first direct-to-video thriller.

Enter director Emilio Silva Torres,
