A visceral found-footage horror anthology that mines 1980s-90s analog media for grotesque, paranoia-soaked tales of cults, serial killers, and ritualistic violence.

Unveiled through a made-for-TV documentary, five chilling tales of found footage horror emerge to take viewers on a gore-filled journey through the grim underbelly of the forgotten 1980s.
