The V/H/S franchise, known for redefining the found-footage horror subgenre, is back with its seventh installment, V/H/S/Beyond. Scheduled to premiere on October 4, 2024, exclusively on Shudder, this film promises to blend classic horror with an otherworldly twist that will leave audiences on the edge of their seats.
The poster for V/H/S/Beyond teases something truly out of this world, hinting at a deep dive into sci-fi horror. The movie will feature six new segments, each pushing the boundaries of fear within a sci-fi-inspired nightmare. This blend of space-age terror with the franchise's gritty, handheld aesthetic should make for a fascinating ride.
The segments, directed by industry talents like Jordan Downey, Kate Siegel, and Mike Flanagan, feature some heavy hitters in both the cast and crew. Justin Long, a long-time staple in horror, takes a dual role as both actor and director for one of the chapters, “Fur Babies,” while Siegel and Flanagan collaborate on the chilling “Stowaway.” Other segments like “Live and Let Dive” and “Dream Girl” bring together an intriguing mix of new and established voices in the genre.
Since its debut in 2012, the V/H/S series has steadily built a reputation for delivering fresh, often experimental horror. With each new sequel—V/H/S/94, V/H/S/99, and V/H/S/85 among them—the franchise has evolved, gaining a dedicated cult following. Now, with V/H/S/Beyond, the franchise is embracing sci-fi horror in a way that could elevate the entire series to new heights.
If you're a fan of horror that goes beyond traditional boundaries, this latest entry is not to be missed. Prepare for a blend of sci-fi and terror that will leave you questioning what's lurking in the darkest corners of space.
