PlainVideo Underground opened in 2002. Located in Jamaica Plain, on Centre Street. Video Underground seeks to offer an alternative to the more traditional and mainstream world of Blockbuster-style video stores. We specialize in independent, cult and foreign films, maintaining a weekly updated new-release section, as well as offering a strong local and nationally-made indie film section.

Our video store is not organized like your average video store: our sections span far beyond the average confines of DRAMA and COMEDY. At Video Underground, you will find categories like the perennial favorites DRUGS & BOOZE and SMELLS LIKE TEEN SPIRIRT, as well as MEDIA MELTDOWN, COMICS & SUPERHEROS, DOGME FILMS, CANNES/SUNDANCE, COPS & CRIMINALS, POLITICAL and AS SEEN ON TV just to name a few.

We are dedicated to creating a video store that reflects the Jamaica Plain community and are very receptive to customer requests! If you are looking for a particular title or genre, please tell us and we will do our best to fulfill your request if the title is available.

Please email submissions@thevideounderground.com if you would like to have your film projects available for rent at the VU!
