Director Scott Derrickson shared some interesting information regarding the segment he directed in the upcoming anthology horror thriller V/H/S/85. It turns out that the story he tells in that film is actually set in the same universe as his amazing horror film The black phone!
During a recent interview with CB, Derrickson explained that there is a crossover in the story, but it’s so intense that no one has noticed it yet, but he reveals what it is. He said:
“Oh, actually there’s a universe crossover in there, which I guess I made too subtle for no one to notice. But James Ransone tells Detective Wayne that, when he was behind the glass, he was talking about Gunther. He says: ‘He has these dreams that are prophetic.’ And he says: “My sister had the same gift as her. They drove her crazy, she killed herself.” And he said, “Gunther’s cousin Gwen has the same thing. I fucking hate it.” Well, the sister is Gwen’s mom, and Gwen is Gwen from The Black Phone.
“It’s literally the same gift, it’s this ability to dream things before they happen, or to have prophetic, futuristic, surreal dreams.”
It’s really cool! I love it when directors do things like that with the project they work on!
In the film, “an ominous mixtape blends never-before-seen footage with a nightmarish newscast and a haunting home video to create a surreal, analog mashup of the forgotten ’80s.” I like this franchise and the next movie looks like it will be good!
V/H/S/85 takes viewers on “a journey into the sad underbelly of the forgotten 80s. Revealed through a made-for-TV documentary, five chilling stories emerge: scientists observe an unusual boy obsessed with TV, the boys embark on a skiing adventure on the lake, a TV crew struggles to survive a natural disaster, the The early days of virtual reality awaken something terrifying and a deadly dream is captured on tape. The sinister secrets of the 1980s come to life in a way never seen before.”
Freddy Rodriguez (Six feet under) will lead the cast of the film, and he will join him Giordano Belfi, Giacomo Ransone, Dani Deette, Rolando Davila-Beltran, Justin Jones, Marcio Moreno, Ari Gallegos, Forrest Hartl, Duffy McManus, Eric Pierson, Philip of Lara, Tom Reed AND Viviana Morse.
The film segments were also written by Zoe Cooper, Evan Dickson, C. Robert Cargill, Mike P. Nelson, Gigi Saul Guerrero. Directors include David BrucknerNelson, Guerrero and Natasha Kermani. V/H/S/85 is produced by Bruckner, Joshua Goldbloom, Brad Miska, Radio silence, James Harris, Michael Schrieber AND Adam Boorstin.
