"Based on the stories shared in Rewind This!, this is the experience of a generation who grew up with that black bricks, and everything that came with it, including jammed tapes, re-recorded videos and the obnoxious need to rewind. But today, as the world moves away from physical media, the sense of nostalgia in those who remember the first time they saw the box for Faces of Death on the shelf is mighty. It's that audience, the ones who loved VHS when it was in its prime and continue to love it today, that are the stars of this documentary. The creators reached far and wide (while keeping something of a focus on Austin, Texas' epicenter of VHS love) to gather tape collectors, filmmakers from the era, industry leaders and retailers and those who still carry the torch, in order to tell the story of VHS in detail."
