- Synopsis:
A love letter to video rental stores and the B-movie treasures that lined their walls, Cody Kennedy and Tim Rutherford's debut feature, 'The Last Video Store', is a genre-loving blast of pure joy: a real treasure trove for genre fans, both new and old. (Kat Hughes) When her estranged father passes, twenty-something Nyla is tasked with the thing she hates the most - cleaning up his mess. Left behind are a collection of VHS tapes, and with them, the burden of returning them to Blaster Video a time capsule to an era in which cover art and a catchy movie title were king, run by Kevin, a human encyclopaedia of VHS history and a friend of her father. Amongst the returns is an unknown tape, a movie not even Kevin has heard of. Was this the last movie Nyla's father watched before he died? The mystery is too much to resist. But when Kevin and Nyla press play, they 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! With style, charm and note perfect performances, The Last Video Store is a must for physical media fans. An elegy to the cinephilic havens of movie wisdom that could once be found on every corner, and the heroes like Kevin who staffed them. - Actors:
