Question The movie is about a guy, girl, and kid, and civilization who live in "the future." There's a video tape that people start to watch and it slowly starts possessing everyone. The younger guy and girl in the film fight to stop it and stay away from it. I can't remember the title. I just remember that it's futuristic and I think it was made in the 80s.
Answer Hi Trudi, it sounds like you are describing the movie Remote Control.
"A video store clerk stumbles onto an alien plot to take over earth by brainwashing people with a bad '50s science fiction movie. He and his friends race to stop the aliens before the tapes can be distributed world-wide."
