Video Girlfriend

A struggling musician buys a newfangled video camera, only to discover that a demonic entity resides within it, possessing women and turning them into murderous obsessions. He must then find a way to stop the possessed women before they can kill him.

Video Girlfriend, an exploitation horror-comedy, received a mixed to negative reception upon its release. While some critics noted its campy B-movie charm and some humorous moments, many found the plot thin, the acting wooden, and the special effects dated, even for its time. It's generally regarded as a cult film rather than a critical success.

• Praised for its low-budget, schlocky B-movie appeal and some unintentional humor.

• Criticized for its weak plot, uninspired acting, and dated special effects.

• Seen as a prime example of direct-to-video horror from the late 80s, appealing to a niche audience.

Google audience: Audience reviews are scarce and generally reflect the film's cult status. Those who enjoy it often point to its nostalgic B-movie elements and campy performances. However, many find the film to be poorly made with a nonsensical plot and low production values.

The film's original title was 'Killer Machine', but it was changed to 'Video Girlfriend' to capitalize on the popularity of home video and perhaps to suggest a more erotic thriller, despite its horror leanings.
