Though horror anthology films are often hit and miss, we're excited for the release of 'V/H/S,' not only because of the talent involved, but also because it was produced by Bloody Disgusting's Brad Miska. Check out the red-band trailer...

The film was directed by David Bruckner, Glenn McQuaid, Joe Swanberg Ti West, Adam Wingard, and Radio Silence (which is made up of Matt Bettinelli-Olpin, Tyler Gillett, Justin Martinez, and Chad Villella), each contributing their own found footage film. The film premiered at Sundance, and received mixed to positives reviews there and at SXSW.

The film will be hitting VOD on August 31, with a small theatrical run starting October 5, likely playing midnights to get audiences warmed up for Halloween. Here's the synopsis:

A group of criminals scour a secluded country home for a mysterious videotape, and bear witness to scenes of unimaginable terror in this found footage-style anthology horror film featuring segments from Glenn McQuaid (I Sell the Dead), Ti West (House of the Devil), Joe Swanberg (Silver Bullets), David Bruckner (The Signal), Adam Wingard (You're Next), and Radio Silence. It seemed like a simple job; all they needed to do was enter the home, find the videotape, and deliver it to their boss. But from the moment they arrived, a sinister tension descended. Gaining access to the house, the young thugs discover a rotting corpse amidst a collection of vintage television sets, and stockpiles of VHS tapes. Somewhere amidst the stacks is the tape they seek, but with each new video they watch, the dread continues to build. The sights that they witness are too horrible for words, but the greatest shock is yet to come.

And here's the trailer:
