Video Barn

Synopsis

In the small town of Kennedy, best friends Hannah and Julie spend their summer nights at the last video store, Video Barn, watching cult horror films. Jules finds a mysterious VHS tape labeled “Just press play!” and, days later, vanishes. Overcome with guilt, Hannah watches the tape and is horrified to see Jules trapped inside the TV, caught in a nightmarish loop of twisted nostalgia. Now, Hannah must uncover the truth and face the sinister force within the tape. "Video Barn" pays homage to 80s surrealist films, blending dark humor, friendship, and the pull of the unknown. Will Hannah save Jules or share her fate?
