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!
Been looking for this for years! Thank you!

@msmithstud Actually, he and Brent Maddock wrote Tremors 1-4 and Short Circuit 1 & 2, not direct it. Ron Underwood directed the first Tremors and Wilson and Maddock went to direct the sequels, each one would switch between movies. John Badham directed Short Circuit and Kenneth Johnson directed Short Circuit 2.

@johnpickle Does this mean we can hope to see you remake this? That would be pretty awesome to see this classic short updated.
