This film was frequently on the HBO "Short Takes," which were short films that played in-between the full-length movies in the 70s and 80s on the network. The movie involves a man who attends a job interview in a building, and when he arrives he is attacked by 2 scheming and murderous videotapes. He tries to escape the videotapes, even running down the hall and shutting himself into a room by himself. But they find a way to slither underneath the carpet and continue attacking him. Ultimately, they "eat" the man! As a child, I remember being terrified of this movie. And yet, I would watch it each time it came on TV!
I'm surprised that this movie does not have many votes or comments (less than 5 votes as of 2/15/06), as there must be thousands of people who remember seeing this movie on HBO, since it played so often. This movie, "Hardware Wars," and another movie about drinking out of a chalice were staples of the HBO "Short Take" movies during this time frame.
