Name that film

[Hyena]

I have been trying to remember the name of a film for many years. (I am also new here, sorry if this is the wrong section for this post.)

I remember a decent amount of the film in my head, except who the actors are (or if they did anything else) . Searching for it in search engines is relatively futile.

It was about a man that moved to a city to be a writer and got a job in a video rental store. He got the job because he was talking to a woman that worked in the store and she got him hired there. He borrowed a VCR and hooked it up and started having delusions. He also started writing from it and I believe he started killing people (or someone else was killing, that’s where my memory gets hazy). I believe he ended up killing the owner of the video rental store. It was an 80s B-movie, if I recall correctly.

Does anyone remember this?

Much more esoteric than ghoulies. Probably a lower budget as well. It had more of a Videodrone vibe but a Video Dead kind of quality (if I remember correctly. It’s been a long time.)

Isn’t it Videodrome?

Or Naked Lunch.

Na, forget that one.

Isn’t it Videodrome?

No. Much lower budget.

Kinda sounds like The Video Dead?

The film was Night Vision. It’s now available to stream, I think on Tubi. (It’s not very good, honestly. But I enjoyed it for what it is.) I thought I’d follow up and thank everyone for the help.
