Shudder To Produce Next Installment of Horror Anthology Franchise ‘V/H/S/94’ as Original Film
Shudder, AMC Network’s premium streaming service for horror, thrillers, and the supernatural, has acquired worldwide rights to V/H/S/94, the fourth installment in the hit horror anthology franchise.
V/H/S/94 marks the return of the infamous found footage anthology with segments from franchise alumni Simon Barrett (Séance) and Timo Tjahjanto (May the Devil Take You Too), in addition to acclaimed directors Jennifer Reeder (Knives & Skin), Ryan Prows (Lowlife), and Chloe Okuno (Slut).
A synopsis of the film has been provided by Shudder:
“In V/H/S/94, after the discovery of a mysterious VHS tape, a brutish police S.W.A.T. team launch a high-intensity raid on a remote warehouse, only to discover a sinister cult compound whose collection of pre-recorded material uncovers a nightmarish conspiracy.“
Producer Josh Goldbloom explained in a press release how the film was produced in a pandemic-affected world:
“Thrilled seems like an understatement for just how stoked we all are to partner with Shudder. We shot the film entirely during the pandemic, building sets in hotels, conference rooms, and in the spirit of the series punk rock roots we even ventured underground into a sewer. Our team channeled the misery of this past year appropriately, so rest assured it’s the biggest, baddest, and most bloodthirsty batch of tapes yet.”
Adam Boorstin and Michael Schreiber for Studio71, Zak Zeman, and Tom Owen are executive producers, along with Michael Paszt, James Fler, and Andrew T. Hunt of Raven Banner Entertainment.
The Shudder Original Film will release in North America, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand later this year.
