By Patrick Cavanaugh,

The V/H/S anthology series has been an ambitious arena where up-and-coming filmmakers offer audiences a taste of their talents, but things are getting a bit different with the upcoming V/H/S/BEYOND . The genre experience will still stay firmly rooted in the idea of being comprised of first-person vignettes, though rather than being outright horror like previous installments, the upcoming series will instead pivot to explore stories in the world of sci-fi. Additionally, while the new movie continues to feature fresh filmmaking perspectives, it has also enlisted genre staples like Mike Flanagan and Justin Long. The first teaser trailer for V/H/S/BEYOND can be seen below before it lands on Shudder on October 4th.
The lineup of filmmakers is as follows:
"Stork": Directed by Jordan Downey, Screenplay by Downey & Kevin Stewart
"Fur Babies": Written and Directed by Christian Long & Justin Long
"Live and Let Dive": Directed by Justin Martinez, Story by Martinez & Ben Turner, Screenplay by Ben Turner
"Dream Girl": Directed by Virat Pal, Written by Pal and Evan Dickson
"Stowaway": Directed by Kate Siegel , Written by Mike Flanagan
And a Special Presentation by Jay Cheel
V/H/S/BEYOND is produced by Josh Goldbloom, James Harris, and Michael Schreiber, and executive produced by Adam Boorstin. The film follows on the heels of the record-breaking sixth installment in the franchise, V/H/S/85 , which debuted Friday, October 6, 2023 and became the most-watched exclusive film premiere of the year for Shudder and AMC+.
The first V/H/S came about at a time in which countless filmmakers were aiming to cash in on the success of Paranormal Activity , with both indie producers and major studios hoping to find the same reception of that experience. One major point of contention with all found-footage movies, however, is the idea that someone had to find the footage in the first place to then edit it together into a seamless experience. The minds behind V/H/S , however, approached the format by delivering characters who came across VHS tapes that all contained their own terrors, serving somewhat as a metatextual commentary on the growing format .
That first entry featured segments from Simon Barrett and Adam Wingard, who are set to revive Face/Off , as well as Ti West, who delivered the trilogy X , Pearl , and MaXXXine . Since that debut entry, a number of other filmmakers involved have gone on to develop major studio projects.
V/H/S/BEYOND is set to hit Shudder on October 4th.
