Verdict on Video Vision
Video Vision is a horror romance following a video technician who starts a romance with a client, only to find herself dealing with something unexplainable. She has been infected by something, which is consuming her, and she must figure out what before it takes her chance of happiness away.
This movie takes us into a twisted world where old technology starts taking over a young woman’s life. It mixes this with a romance that she finds it difficult to understand. The movie leans heavily into the romance side, which asks questions about how people adapt to dating a trans person, as it isn’t something they expect. When it comes to the horror elements, it is sci-fi driven, as we watch Kibby struggle with reality, through twisted technology connection. Everything here gets an impressive retro vibe, which makes it stand out.
We get strong performances from Andrea Figliomeni and Chrystal Peterson, which give their story a lot of connection. While the final act unleashes everything that the movie has built up with.
Final Thoughts – Video Vision is a retro delight, with a twisted creation.
