First Look at THE LAST VIDEO STORE Movie; "A Love Letter to the Era of the Video Store"
Blue Finch Films has released a photo for its upcoming horror film project The Last Video Store giving us our first look at was is described as “a love letter to the era of the video store.”
The film comes from directing duo Cody Kennedy and Tim Rutherford, who wrapped production on the movie in the Canadian port city of Hamilton.
The story revolves around “a young woman who takes a collection of old video tapes to one of the last video stores in the world. Unbeknownst to her, she is in possession of a legendary ‘cursed tape’ that holds the power to connect the real world with another dimension in which B-movie fantasies are reality. When she and the video store owner unwittingly reawaken its curse, a raft of cinematic villains is unleashed.”
That sounds like it could be a fun flick. But I do have to say that this is definitely similar to a concept pitch trailer that was released four years ago for a film titled The Last Blockbuster. That concept and short film was created by Brain K. Rosenthal.
His film is described as It's "The Monster Squad meets Clerks when a pair of lifelong movie geeks must suddenly band together with a motley crew of strangers inside one of the last remaining video rental stores and attempt to survive-- perhaps even stop the supernatural apocalypse happening just outside their doors.”
