Mind-Bending Horror Unleashed: A Sneak Peek into Twisted Tales from the Directors of Black Phone & Hellraiser 2022

Summary

V/H/S/85 will continue the found-footage horror franchise by exploring the disturbing content on a VHS tape, with a focus on the 80s era.

The teaser trailer for the upcoming sequel hints at a terrifying combination of trippy video games, intense gun violence, and bloody scenes.

With the involvement of acclaimed directors Scott Derrickson and David Bruckner, V/H/S/85 has the potential to amass a large fan base and bring innovative storytelling to the series.

A fresh glimpse into the forthcoming horror tales is offered in the latest trailer for V/H/S/85. This found-footage horror series, which began in 2012, centers around the horrifying content unearthed on a VHS tape. Since its inception, V/H/S has spawned four sequels, namely V/H/S/2, V/H/S Viral, V/H/S/94, and the most recent installment, V/H/S/99.

Shudder, the platform, has now unveiled the initial teaser trailer for V/H/S/85. Watch the trailer below:

Opening with the serenity reminiscent of an 80s-era home video, the trailer swiftly descends from a mind-bending video game into a harrowing realm of gun violence and gore. Prepare for the release of V/H/S/85, exclusively on Shudder come October 6.

What To Expect From V/H/S/85

Similar to its predecessors - V/H/S/94 and V/H/S/99, the upcoming sequel presents itself as a horror-filled time capsule. While every installment of the V/H/S series utilizes unsettling home videos to instill terror, these recent additions specifically center the found footage around a specific era captured on videotape. V/H/S/85, for instance, showcases a glimpse of the time period in its trailer, featuring oversized spectacles, vibrant and angular video games, and quintessential 80s ensembles. However, this glamorous setting is abruptly interrupted by brief glimpses of horrifying violence.

V/H/S/85, like other films in the franchise, will feature multiple directors overseeing different segments of horror on VHS tapes. The film boasts a talented lineup of directors, including Scott Derrickson, known for The Black Phone, and David Bruckner, known for Hellraiser (2022), as well as his previous work on the original V/H/S in 2012. With the growing popularity of Hellraiser and The Black Phone among horror fans, there is a good chance that V/H/S/85 will attract a sizable following and excel creatively, thanks to the involvement of these renowned and skilled talents.

What sets V/H/S/85 apart from its predecessors is its journey into the distant past. This presents an exciting opportunity for the film to explore new visual styles and themes that were absent in the 90s and 2000s-based V/H/S entries. Based on the teaser trailer, it appears that V/H/S/85 will fully embrace this opportunity.
