Static disrupts Samson’s VCR feed

This object is critical to the scene’s narrative, as it provides the context for the flashback and the disruption. The VCR’s malfunction—though brief—serves as a narrative device to hint at deeper layers of the conspiracy, suggesting that even the past is not as fixed or reliable as it seems. The interference with the VCR’s signal underscores the theme of hidden truths and the fragility of perceived reality.
