Who uses VHS's in 2012?


Seriously?

reply

Lots of people still have them. I do

reply

I have more VHS than DVD, 4 VCR's, and still buy VHS whenever possible. The format is alive!!!

reply

I can understand keeping them but why would you actively acquire the crappiest tech that looks horrid compared to bluray? That I can't understand.

reply

Nostalgia. Same reason people drive old cars. They actually suck from a practical standpoint.

reply

I don't know anyone who still has vhs tapes, much less a vcr. I'm one of the few people it seems who actually has a dvd collection (everyone I know backed their movies up on hds and got rid of their collections).

Anyway, the only reason for that conceit is to take advantage of the over-used "glitch" effects which were a little ridiculous.

Whenever I record a show on tv I still use my VCR to do it. My VCR is still alive and kicking since 1989. I will keep on using it until it breaks. Just watched V/H/S on vhs btw. You don't know how excited I was when I saw a pack of new vhs tapes at Walmart the other day. I haven't seen them since 2007.

You sound like me, lol. Ebay is my weakness. I'm always finding deals on there:)

If you pay attention at the start of the final tape when the guys are driving to the haunted house, the time capture date at the bottom corner of the video says 1998. I think this whole movie is supposed to take place in the 90's when vas was still pretty widely used.

I still do, in 2014.

How does that explain the first story where the guy has modern video recording glasses?...and how are those glasses recording onto VHS? How about the laptop? How is that recording to VHS?

reply

That's what make it so creepy.

reply

Me. and two years later I still do.

How about a movie called: Flash Drive

I honestly don't know anyone that still has a VCR or VHS tapes, even my grandma owns a DVD player.

But I do think a lot of the VHS cover art is cool, and might pick up some for a collection.

reply

So just because the movie was made in 2012 you assume the story takes place the same year? You do realize how dumb that is? That's like saying Alexander The Great was around because the movie was filmed in 2004….

reply

After The Fappening, I think VHS is still the way to go when making home videos.

reply

take notice that whoever had these VHS tapes also had film reels. You can see them in the basement. So someone was using small film reels and probably transferring them onto vhs. and as we move onto to part 3 they've been transferred onto the internet.
