User Reviews
TapeWorm99 – 9/10
“This movie creeped me out in a way I wasn't expecting. The atmosphere of the old video store is so thick you can almost smell the dust and stale popcorn. The entity's design is genuinely unsettling, and the slow build-up had me on the edge of my seat. Definitely a hidden gem for horror fans.”
ScreamQueen87 – 8/10
“I loved the concept of a cursed video store, and the film delivers on that concept with a lot of style. The characters are likable, and the scares are effective without being cheap jump scares. It took me a while to get into it, but once the tension ramps up, it's a wild ride.”
VHS_Vulture – 7/10
“For me, The Format was good but not perfect. The acting was solid and the plot was interesting, but I felt the middle section dragged a bit. However, the final act is intense and the antagonist is truly memorable. I'd recommend it if you're into paranormal horror with a unique twist.”
GhoulGamer – 9/10
“As someone who grew up in the 80s and 90s, this movie hit all the right nostalgia notes while being genuinely terrifying. The way it blends old-school video store vibes with modern horror is brilliant. I especially loved the paranormal investigator dynamic, and the ending left me thinking about it for days.”
