Description

In this love letter to the era of the video store, we follow Nyla who accidentally uncovers a "cursed" VHS tape from Albertan-born filmmakers Cody Kennedy and Tim Rutherford (aka House of Heathens).

A magical VHS tape holds the power to connect the real world to a dimension where movie fantasy exists as reality. Nyla and the video store owner (played by Kevin Martin, owner of Edmonton's cult video store, The Lobby) unwittingly awaken a long-dormant curse that unleashes a series of classic cinematic villains plucked from the bowels of the B-movies themselves. A true celebration B-movie glory, THE LAST VIDEO STORE is a charming homage to videostores, slashers, and film nerds. With a story honouring Canuxploitation and showcasing Alberta talent, this is a crowd-pleaser with loads of gore, and character parodies offering a blast of nostalgic fun.
