Last Video Store Blu-ray
'The Last Video Store' Directors: Cody Kennedy & Tim Rutherford (2023) Arrow Limited Edition Blu-ray
A love letter to video rental stores and B-movie treasures, and an elegy to the cinephilic havens of movie wisdom that could once be found on every corner.
A young woman who is unknowingly in possession of an unknown tape takes a collection of her recently deceased father's old video tapes to a video store. She and the store owner re-awake its curse and unwittingly activate a long-dormant curse and a series of classic cinematic villains are plucked from B-movie heaven and hell to be unleashed into the store itself.
