VHS 85 Interview: How They Filmed That WILD Rory Bloodbath
8[Editor's note: The following contains spoilers for V/H/S/85.]
If you made it passed that spoiler warning, you’ve met V/H/S/85’s Rory and know its true form.
Rory is the focus of David Bruckner’s wraparound story, "Total Copy." Throughout V/H/S/85, we get snippets of a piece following Dr. Spratling (Jordan Belfi) and his team as they conduct experiments with a shapeshifting being they dub Rory. In an effort to connect, Spratling and co. attempt to teach Rory humankind’s ways by showing it VHS tapes of broadcasts, exercise videos, and more. Despite some alarm as Rory exhibits the ability to replicate human form, Spratling insists on forging forward, certain that they’re forming a bond. However, all hope for peaceful interaction goes out the window in the final segment of the film.
When Rory becomes unresponsive, Spratling insists on administering an adrenaline shot, but before they can do so, Rory stops them with its feeler and then proceeds to kill each scientist one by one in a wicked and very bloody oner.
With V/H/S/85 now available to stream on Shudder, it’s time to share the spoiler portion of my interview with Bruckner from Fantastic Fest 2023. Check out this video to learn more about the movie magic required to bring Rory to screen in its final form. And if you’re looking for more information on exactly what Rory is and where it came from, stay tuned! We’ll have a spoiler-filled interview with writer Evan Dickson for you soon.
