Sundance 2013: ‘S-VHS’ Teaser

Here’s the first teaser trailer for the upcoming sequel to last year’s V/H/S, titled S-VHS. The film is set to premier at this year’s Sundance Film Festival and promises to be bigger and more terrifying than the first.  Simply judging by this short teaser I would agree, but I hope that the producers have hashed out some of the issues from the first film.

This one will be using the same formula as the original, with 5 segments each directed by a different individual. Directors include Gareth Evans (The Raid: Redemption) & Timo Tjahjanto (Macabre), Eduardo Sanchez (The Blair Witch Project) & Gregg HaleJason Eisener (Hobo With A Shotgun), Adam Wingard (You’re Next, A Horrible Way To Die) and Simon Barrett (You’re Next, A Horrible Way To Die).

Inside a darkened house looms a column of TVs littered with VHS tapes, a pagan shrine to forgotten analog gods. The screens crackle and pop endlessly with monochrome vistas of static—white noise permeating the brain and fogging concentration. But you must fight the urge to relax: this is no mere movie night. Those obsolete spools contain more than just magnetic tape. They are imprinted with the very soul of evil.

From the demented minds that brought you last year’s V/H/S comes S-VHS, an all-new anthology of dread, madness, and gore. This follow-up ventures even further down the demented path blazed by its predecessor, discovering new and terrifying territory in the genre. This is modern horror at its most inventive, shrewdly subverting our expectations about viral videos in ways that are just as satisfying as they are sadistic. The result is the rarest of all tapes—a second generation with no loss of quality.
