Storyline

Kevin is the owner and sole employee of Blaster Video, Canada's last video store. Nyla, the daughter of his most loyal customer, not only returns her father's rentals two weeks late without the courtesy of a rewind, but she also unwittingly unleashes the video necronomicon, a cursed VHS tape imbued with the power to bring any movie character to life in the real world. Now Kevin and Nyla are trapped in Blaster Video, thrown into a fight for their lives against a formidable variety of B-movie foes, including Castor, the legendary hockey goalie turned supernatural thriller killer from the BEAVER LAKE MASSACRE franchise, and Jackson Viper, a horny, go-it-alone, overly emotional rogue detective who, sprung straight from the clearance bin, looks for payback after Kevin deems his latest action movie a flop. As Kevin's meticulously constructed world turns against him, he finds himself an unlikely hero in his toughest battle since the Format Wars. With a setting based on star Kevin Martin's beloved cult video store The Lobby, THE LAST VIDEO STORE is a loving homage to the homegrown Canuxploitation, direct-to-video '90s sci-fi, and the rough-hewn potboilers that adorn its shelves. The feature debut of directing duo Cody Kennedy and Tim Rutherford, who produced a bunch of outrageous shorts filmed at The Lobby under the moniker House of Heathens, THE LAST VIDEO STORE is genre cinema lovingly crafted by true aficionados. — LORI DONNELLY
