Chapter 1: What movie is the focus of this episode?
This week on Movie Club, we're covering a movie that was both submitted by you guys and then voted on by you guys. That's right, it is VHS, the classic found footage anthology horror where we explore multiple different small stories. And boy, we have some opinions on this one because it's kind of weird and wild. It's inventive, but some of the effects don't live up, you know what I mean?
Anyway, here's a preview of today's episode of Movie Club, available as always exclusively on redwebpod.com. A married couple, Sam and Stephanie, go out to the West for their second honeymoon and rent a hotel room. The couple visits a Wild West themed attraction where Stephanie receives a prediction from a mechanical fortune teller. I hated that. I was very terrified of big growing up.
It was scary to me. What do you mean I can just talk to this fortune teller and then wake up old? Tom Hanks Big is a horror movie.
It's good.
I don't know why. You wake up and now you got taxes and responsibility. I gotta go to work. The prediction says that she will be visited by a loved one. Later that night, while at the hotel, the couple is visited by a strange woman who asks for a ride in the morning. Sam declines her request and the girl leaves.
When Sam and Stephanie go to sleep, an unseen camera wielder enters the room and silently watches them both and even softly touches Stephanie's skin with a switchblade. God, dude. This part when, yeah, the figure pulls the sheets down and shows Stephanie in her underwear. At this point, I was like, how many characters in this movie are trying to film naked women? This is far too many.
This is insane. I was getting impatient with this idea as well. I'm like, right, you're really diving into this. And that's where I'm like, yeah, I don't know. Like, we get it.

Chapter 2: What are the main plot points of V/H/S?
There are other ways to use found footage.
yeah i think they really want to go with like uh look how like gritty and dark we are and this is they're just like really honed in on this one particular like path and i was like there are other ones the person leaves her alone steals a hundred dollars from sam's wallet goes into the bathroom where we can see in the mirror that the person is a woman wearing a mask she puts sam's toothbrush in the toilet and when i was like cringe
the next day sam notices his money is missing and accuses stephanie of taking it while they are visiting a canyon just weird to like accuse you should never get out there like that yeah it's like it's a honeymoon did you take my money kind of like your guy's money but yeah
On the final day before they leave, the masked woman comes into the room again and murders Sam in his sleep by stabbing him in the neck. The camera shows the killer and Stephanie kissing in the bathroom, implying that Stephanie planned this with her loved one, as told in her fortune. The two leave and Stephanie asks the girl if she erased the footage.
nope i published it we're famous yep i threw it on a vhs table along with a bunch of other messed up stories this one was one of the worst in my opinion because it just it just happened and then it just ended like it ended and i was like oh oh so that's that's it yeah okay It felt rushed, I guess. Like the buildup was like, okay, we got the fortune teller. We got the lady asking for a ride.
Where is this going to go? And then all of a sudden it's like, stab, stab, we're out of here. It felt like it had to wrap up all of a sudden really quickly. Yeah, it really did wrap up really fast. It just kind of like went, it felt like in a movie that has short stories, it felt like a short, short story. Yeah. Like, oh, we're super tight on this one. Yeah.
There's two that are like this where it's just like, what if this person that you learn to trust is actually just raw evil and just an innocent bystander is done for? I'm like, right. Okay. Well, that happens plenty in life. I don't need that as some sort of entertainment version of horror because that's just, I mean, yeah, you're definitely stoking energies in me and emotions in me. That's art.
But also like, i i don't want i don't need that i don't want that right now i don't know again i want people thrown across the room by some sort of demonic entity or something like not here's a just a swell guy who's on his honeymoon yeah oh okay well okie dokie
