The Best Shot-On-Video Films [Bleeding Skull]

The Best Shot-On-Video Films [Bleeding Skull]
Every film is a travelogue. From Douglas Sirk’s Technicolor melodramas to Doris Wishman’s paperback gutter-noirs, all movies are mini-vacations that enable us to escape the real world and revitalize our souls. But out of the billions of movies in existence, very few allow us to step off the planet and reach a new plane of consciousness. Thankfully, 50 of those films are gathered here. This list honors our favorite shot-on-video (SOV) mind warps from all realities and centuries. Over the years, people have used “SOV” to describe any movie that was made for the price of a used car or released direct-to-VHS, even if it was shot on film. So, let’s be clear: this list is pure. We’ve only included genre films that were actually shot and edited on tape. This means you won’t find movies that were shot on Super 8 or 16mm and edited on tape (Things, Truth or Dare?: A Critical Madness, respectively). But you will find gore-soaked wizard battles, senior citizen auteurs, and enough Karobics (karate + aerobics) montages to last a lifetime. These films are outsider miracles that erupted from the depths to subvert reality and destroy expectations. Each and every movie on this list belongs in a museum. But until that happens, prepare to step off the planet . . . and hopefully never return.
