Found footage anthology films centered around a number of disturbing VHS tapes that are discovered by innocent viewers and the possessive influence of the videos over those who see them. Realized by a collaboration of various filmmakers and different casts, the installments are mostly standalone in nature; though recurring elements indicate the same fictional villain as the source for all of its videos.

Those obsolete spools contain more than just magnetic tape. They are imprinted with the very soul of evil.
