  • When it comes to video rental stores Suspect Video is a Toronto landmark. I've been going to Suspect on and off since the early 90's and as far as I know they are Toronto's first true independent video store to offer rental of movies that lie on the fringe of filmmaking. This place is for the die-hard film junkie who wants something more profound than whatever blockbuster fodder Hollywood offers up each week. You can up your cool factor +1 just by walking into Suspect Video, +2 if you get a membership and ask to see their Nakada Hideo directed horror films. Whether you are looking for an old British TV sitcom, blood squirting Japanese samurai movies, vintage porn, 1930's Film Noir, anime, 80's screwball comedies or some small budget documentary that won an award at the 2001 Venice Film Festival, Suspect Video probably has it somewhere in their vast stock. In a nutshell you go to Suspect Video to rent those otherwise impossible to find movies that Blockbuster wont touch. Heck they still carry VHS! Aside from video rentals Suspect Video has DVDs for sale, a magazine rack of alternative culture magazines as well as the odd horror inspired figurine and energy drinks that look like blood IV bags. The store is small (how they manage to fit in new stock I can't imagine) and you'll probably need to dig your way through the racks in order to find what you want. The staff are always friendly and helpful in finding you what you are looking for or suggesting something you may like. Not only, you can probably find helpful notes written on DVD covers denoting exactly why the film is cool or is otherwise a must-see. As far as prices go Suspect Video continues to be one of the most affordable video rental stores in Toronto. In fact even for new releases I don't think anyone beats their rental fees. Icing on the cake is their "Staff Picks" section where you can rent some cool flicks recommended by the staff for a mere dollar! I've considered dropping a star in rating of Suspect Video because they've yet to carry Blu-Ray and that they rarely have multiple copies of movies. But really if you think about it Suspect is as it always was, a small indie video rental store that carries a lot of cool films. They filled a niche in the movie rental business before anyone else had the guts to. Video stores have come and gone but the original Suspect Video is still around and much loved by it's patrons. If you live within reasonable distance of the store I strongly recommend getting a membership here. It's a treasure trove of film and you never know what goodies you may come away with every time you visit.
