Ahead of its home entertainment release next month under the FrightFest Presents label, we’ve got a new trailer for Kristian A. Söderström’s Videoman, a darkly comic thriller which “celebrates the golden days of VHS, the Italian giallo, and the films of Mike Leigh”. Check it out below…
Ennio (Stefan Sauk), a giallo-obsessed VHS collector with a drinking problem finds a highly collectable video tape that could solve his money problems and save him from eviction. He makes a deal with a shady, anonymous collector before realising the video has been stolen.
So begins Ennio’s desperate hunt for the black-gloved perpetrator while, along the way, he meets Simone (Lena Nilsson), an alcoholic woman obsessed with the 80s. As Ennio searches for the tape and begins to lose a grip on reality, his and Simone’s mutual love of nostalgia draws them together. Can they find redemption in each other?
Videoman is set for a DVD and digital release on February 18th.
