VHSRevival (Edison Smith)

One of the most memorable #80s #movies for my young self was Robert Harmon's twisted cat and mouse road thriller #TheHitcher starring a deliriously creepy Rutger Hauer Panned for lack of motive, the film works on an almost supernatural level Any fans? vhsrevival.com/2019/02/07/one…

@CombatCr Thanks! You're welcome. I absolutely adore Fright Night, but it still wasn't an easy choice. Great year for horror movies.

@VHSRevival Great list and honourable mentions! Much as I love it, Fright Night is probably the only one I’d push back on (I prefer your honourable mentions there!) but still, can see the case! Thanks for an enjoyable read

@SkinTrader2 Pure fun. Pure adventure

@VHSRevival Fantastic! They simply don't make 'em like this anymore.

Rewatching a Joe Dante movie this afternoon that I haven't seen since the glory days of VHS.

This morning's rewatch, and a horror flick that I seem to enjoy just that little bit more each time around.

@steeleblazer It was different for the time

@VHSRevival Its not bad. The bar fight i think is one of his best fights. Can be slow. But mostly a fun movie.

I never thought I'd find a #slasher starring action #movie legend #ChuckNorris until I stumbled on 1982's #SilentRage Add some marital arts action, some dubious #scifi & a tad of racy softcore romance & you have quite the oddity @VHSRevival takes a look vhsrevival.com/2025/02/10/sil…

@jdiggs67 The Gorge was pretty slim but still over two hours

@VHSRevival Hey, happy to see this … I’ll have to check it out! Always a pleasure when a modern movie boasts no-nonsense genre storytelling and efficient runtimes. 😄

It's new article day @VHSRevival, with a light-hearted look at the priceless #AmericanNinja 2 In an era of bloated running times & self-awareness, it was refreshing to revist a time when the genre delivered exactly what it promised with no pretentions 👇 vhsrevival.com/2026/03/04/ame…

@jdiggs67 It's been a while. 🤣

@SkinTrader2 I absolutely love it. The moment where Dudikoff's stunt double stands-in for a completely innocuous scene and stares directly into the camera for ages is the icing on the cake 😁

@VHSRevival Glorious nonsense. One of my all time favourite flicks from the VHS era.

The peak of the franchise for many, ANOES #TheDreamWarriors, released #OTD, would revitalise the series. It would also set the tone for #FredKrueger's comical antics, leading the series down a creative path from which it would never recover 👇 #horror vhsrevival.com/2022/02/26/dre…

#Cannon #Films #martialarts cult classic #Bloodsport was released #OTD Was the #movie based on a true story or simply on the tall tales of Frank Dux, a self-proclaimed champion of a tournament that may or may not exist? @VHSRevival investigates 👇 vhsrevival.com/2020/11/27/fig…

It's new article day @VHSRevival Today I tackle #WilliamLustig's priceless, #LarryCohen penned action/#horror sequel #ManiacCop2 Spoiler: It's even better than the original Let's get to it 👇 #movies #90s #slasher vhsrevival.com/2026/02/17/man…

#Cannon's unashamedly exploitative, outrage-baiting vigilante sequel #DeathWish 2 was released #OTD The series would grown increasingly ludicrous in the hands of Golan-Globus, but DW2 is the nastiest of the bunch Here's a reminder 👇 #movies #80s vhsrevival.com/2021/05/20/lea…

Hello #horror fans! In a brand new article, @VHSRevival looks at the almost universally panned #FreddysDead, a #movie that choked on the shark-jumping excesses of Freddy's past & a desperate 3-D debacle that left much to be desired 👇 #90s #movies vhsrevival.com/2026/02/24/swe…

@SkinTrader2 🤣🤣 It is, you're right. I never thought I'd write that either.

@VHSRevival Yep. I actually think the NoES remake is a better movie, and that's a sentence that I definitely never expected to type!

@IamKaleid I love the original ANOES. It's flawed but grungy, cerebral, innovative (especially considering the budget) & extremely resourceful. It was also a hell of a concept & influential going forward. I like elements of the first two sequels & New Nightmare, but the original is unique.

@VHSRevival Do you think it was a casualty of its era? I feel that if the concept had originally come about in the 'gritty' 00s or later it would have maintained its scariness and darkness, rather than being farmed out for tweens. But then, we wouldn't have had Englund
