Shudder, Studio71, Cinepocalypse & Bloody Disgusting are this time rewinding all the way back to the 1980s with V/H/S/85, which will have its World Premiere at this year’s Fantastic Fest, in Austin, Texas (September 21 – 28). V/H/S/85 will begin streaming only on Shudder on October 6, 2023, and today we’re unveiling the official poster for this retro nightmare.
The official V/H/S/85 poster is the work of retro genius Creepy Duck Design, and it takes you into the grim underbelly of the forgotten 1980s. Check out the badass poster art below!
In V/H/S/85, “Unveiled through a made-for-TV documentary, five chilling tales emerge: scientists observe an unusual boy fixated on his TV, kids embark on a lake skiing adventure, a TV crew fights to survive a natural disaster, the early days of VR awaken something terrifying, and a deadly dream is captured on tape.
“Sinister secrets of the 1980s come to life in a way you’ve never seen before.”
V/H/S/85 joins our growing franchise that now consists of several films, including V/H/S, V/H/S/2, V/H/S: Viral, V/H/S/94, V/H/S/99, and the spinoff feature SiREN.
Here are the directors who took part in 85…
The only legacy filmmaker is David Bruckner, who will be spearheading the latest entry. Bruckner directed the “Amateur Night” segment of the first V/H/S which featured the breakout performance of Hannah Fierman as a succubus. Bruckner, who also directed Searchlight’s The Night House, just celebrated the release of his Hellraiser reimagining. We’ve been huge fans of Bruckner since he co-directed The Signal and also absolutely love his Netflix creature feature The Ritual.
Needing no introduction is Scott Derrickson, who recently directed the original horror blockbuster The Black Phone for Blumhouse. His horror fame comes from his chilling Sinister, but we became fans after his excellent The Exorcism of Emily Rose. Derrickson also directed Marvel’s Doctor Strange and interestingly got an early start in horror helming Hellraiser: Inferno. You won’t believe what he’s dreamed up.
Popular Mexican filmmaker Gigi Saul Guerrero has also joined the V/H/S family, shaking up the new tape with something earth-shattering. We became huge fans of Gigi after catching her gruesome short film “El Gigante”, which set the stage for her to direct both Bingo Hell and Culture Shock for Blumhouse, as well as episodes of “The Purge” series.
One of the coolest up-and-coming filmmakers horror fans should get to know is Natasha Kermani, who broke onto the scene with the indie Imitation Girl and saw huge festival success with Lucky. Natasha is going to fill theater seats with her shocker of a segment.
Last but certainly not least is Mike P. Nelson, a director with a remarkable gift for taking films in bold, unique, and unexpected directions. He directed the post-apocalyptic horror The Domestics for legendary Orion Pictures and also helmed the wild, crazy, and extraordinarily gory Wrong Turn remake that’s become an instant favorite among fans. His entry into the V/H/S world is going to be a blast.
The cast for V/H/S/85 includes Freddy Rodriguez (Planet Terror) alongside Jordan Belfi, James Ransone, Dani Deetté, Rolando Davila-Beltran, Justen Jones, Marcio Moreno, Ari Gallegos, Forrest Hartl, Duffy McManus, Eric Pierson, Felipe de Lara, Tom Reed and Vivian Morse.
Producers of V/H/S/85 include Josh Goldbloom for Cinepocalypse, Brad Miska for Bloody Disgusting, David Bruckner (V/H/S, The Night House, Hellraiser), filmmaking collective Radio Silence (Chad Villella, Matt Bettinelli-Olpin, & Tyler Gillett; Ready or Not, Scream), and James Harris.
V/H/S/85 is executive produced by Michael Schreiber & Adam Boorstin for Studio71.
