Horror
Dead Media
You may be done with the DVD, but it’s not done with you!
Buy or Rent the movie on:
A unique horror film that evolves the analog sub-genre from VHS to DVD. Maggie just wants to watch a 90s horror movie on streaming, but her Gen X uncle insists they watch it on DVD, plunging them into a terrifying movie night that won’t die. A wild inventive creature feature and a soulful character study, Dead Media doesn’t just ask will the characters survive, but why do they want to live?
