Horror comedy that doesn't succeed in either genre, The Last Video Store has nostalgia for lost low budget cultural artifacts from a format war that ended in mutually assured obsolescence almost twenty years ago. Nyla ventures to "the Last Video Store" (a basement commercial/residential space with only one fire code violating means of egress) to return her dead father's overdue VHS rentals. Curious about the most blatantly evil looking unlabeled VHS tape (since they took BetaMax off the market) in her father's collection, Nyla and the Video store nerd play the "videonomicon" and unleash a curse that brings forth all the monsters, hockey masked villains, and emotionally unstable action heroes from the three b-movies Nyla unkindly returned without rewinding. It stretches on for the full 79 minutes before rewinding its way through the credits.
