“‘The Last Video Store’ is a nostalgic horror production that talks the talk and walks the walk.”

Rutherford, Kennedy, Roach, and the whole team have created a fun synth-heavy look at VHS culture that is more than a pop culture journey but a film for the die-hard video store connoisseurs.

While the story mostly work, the nostalgia here feels manufactured [...] it all feels like it wants to push the buttons, it pushes the buttons, but something is missing.

If you unabashedly love bad B-movies, The Last Video Store pays respect to the VHS obsessives with a mostly effective story about what happens when the drive-in characters decide to fight back.
