Shudder


When video collector Mark Cambria watches a mysterious VHS tape, he begins talking in his sleep in a language that doesn't exist. Mark and his girlfriend Tamra set out to investigate the tape's origin and find themselves caught up in a web of conspiracy, occult, and dread surrounding a legendary video store with a sinister purpose beyond imagining.

Video Palace

After watching a mysterious white VHS tape, video collector Mark Cambria begins talking in his sleep in a language that doesn’t exist.
