Video Violence (1987)

A husband and wife open a video store in a new town, and come to find out that the locals only rent horror films and the "occasional triple X'er", and make their own snuff videos.

Video Violence 2 (1987)

Howard and Eli, the killers from the first Video Violence movie, are back and are now hosting their own TV show. Broadcast secretly from their basement, the show looks a the fine art of murder, letting other aspiring psychos send in videos of their handiwork for the world to enjoy. Some viewers are shocked and horrified, but many more become avid fans, clamoring for more and more blood.

I dug Video Violence quite a bit. For something so low budget & SOV, it was pretty well put together. The effects were cheesy as fuck but well-done for such a low budget. The acting was atrocious but that was to be expected. It's a nice little little time capsule of late 1980s video stores. Loved seeing all of the tapes & posters in the store.

Overall, a very fun little movie.

Onto Video Violence 2!

Sounds exquisitely cheesy . If it wasn't for you Flyboy I never would've heard of even 2/3 of these types of B-Grade Horrors.

They're both really cheesy but well-made for two ultra low budget flicks shot on video. I think the budget for Video Violence 2 was like $200 or some shit. I've seen worse bigger budget films.

$200. Haha it'd be interesting just to see how far they managed to stretch that $200.
