Amazing store. Really takes you back to the 2000's era and going into a Blockbuster or video store and feeling the magic of combing through shelves of movies. I felt like a kid in a candy store digging for treasure. Honestly adds to the enjoyment of the films I picked up. Because the experience wasn't solely reduced down to me clicking a button on a screen and having the movie shipped to me, which often has left me with buyer's remorse due to impulse purchases because of how little friction there is in that. But here, at Video Depot, I was transported to a time where life was simpler, slower, and my purchasing habits felt more deliberate. More restrained, selective, and meaningful. To be able to go in and be mesmerized by the shelves full of movies, CD's, comics, all the cool posters on the wall was extremely fun. I ended up getting some Scooby Doo DVD's and a sealed box set of VHS tapes that looked interesting and that I couldn't even find on eBay. Gina, the store owner, was an absolute sweetheart. Extremely warm and kind person. You can immediately feel her good energy and almost want to linger around in the store longer just to be around her. She reminded me so much of my grandmother :) She even gave me water and donuts. Overall, I left elevated. Which is in stark contrast to 80% of my online purchases where again, I'm left with buyer's remorse because I clicked a button thinking I wanted something and then it comes in the mail and I don't even want it anymore. The titles I picked up from Gina's store now have a story to them. A memory. Adds to the magic of the film. read more

Gina is a good person and will always greet you with kindness. Great selection of DVDs and VHS plus blueray.

This place is incredible! I had no idea it was just 15 minutes from my house this whole time. It feels as magical as Block Buster did to me as a kid. There are so many titles and genres to choose from, it's like being in a candy store. The owner is absolutely incredible and the passion she shares with fellow movie fans is amazing. Definitely check out this spot! read more

Why is this business great? The long time owner who took time with us couldn't have been nicer. 5 STARS. It's video store, notary services and who else what else they offer. It's a blast from the past. All DVD's for either sale or rent. Makes you wonder who is coming in here, but people must be going there and the owner is probably the main reason. My nephew and I enjoyed chatting with her,. read more

Perfect place to come if you need a notary. They are fast and friendly! We will definitely be back for notary needs as well as movie rentals. read more

WE LOVE GINA! Best notary service ever. Very nice owners, and there was an and huge selection of things to choose from! 5 stars isn't enough! We came for the notary services, but we stayed for the donuts and the movies! Believe the hype about this place, because Gina IS the G.O.A.T. read more

Gina is so sweet! She used to be on Seco n Copperhill back in the day. I came back for the nostalgia! Go support this mom and pop shop! If you want to know what it's like living through the 80s, 90s and part of the 00s. read more

Gina was fantastic and so nice, thank you for the kind words and wonderful service! Hope to be back soon!

I was initially excited upon entering this store. I had drove by my whole childhood and never entered. It was cool to see all the dvds they had. The old woman behind the counter however, was not nice. She commented that I look very skinny and that everyone must be jealous of me. She pretended to eat the air and said all I eat is air. I have for most of my life and to this day struggles with an eating disorder. This woman then proceeded to chase me out of the store and try to talk to me, after I made it clear I didn't want to even see her, let alone speak to her. I was bummed she had to go being rude, her comments were so hurtful... :( I don't need to be body shamed when I'm just trying to get VHS tapes, go fuck yourself lady. You throw stones in a glass house... your fake kindness will get you nowhere. read more

We don't often need DVD's anymore, but sometimes we go just to see Gina and support this business. She is the most friendly, kind, and loving small business owner. She has every movie you could imagine (all new releases too!!) and always offers to throw in a free bread loaf or pastry too! read more

First off, the owner Gina was very nice at first. I was looking for used DVD's. She showed me where they were in the store. They had a huge section. I asked what the prices were. She would not give me any prices. She just told me to gather what I wanted. I asked her multiple times for prices and she did not tell me prices. Once I got the DVDs I wanted to purchase, I went to the counter and she said for me to pick out the price I was willing to pay. When I told her the price I was willing to pay, her attitude changed very quickly and told me that somebody else would just buy the DVDs basically saying my prices that I was willing to pay weren't enough. What's the point of all this? If you have a set price on yourDVDs, just let the customers know. I have been buying used DVDs between $2-4 dollars. She wanted $5 a DVD. Which is not unrealistic. I ended up purchasing 4 DVDs for $20. As I said, she just seemed really pushy about prices. There were also a couple of other customers in the store and she did the same thing. Was pressuring them to spend more money. I will not be going back. Definitely not a good experience. read more

I came into this store to see what is going on in 2023. I was surprised to find this blast from the past. Like everyone here says, Gina is so nice. She wanted to give me stuff for my kids and I wasn't even renting anything. I'm sad to see people like this over the years be overtaken by big box stores like blockbuster and hollywood video only to see them go out of business and now all that's left is this lone store. I hope she has fun and enjoys her time there. read more

Gina is so amazinggg. she gave me good deals with the movies I got. the movies were amazing quality. this place is the best!!

Rent and rent movies, this place is very nice, it has a variety of movies for the family. Gina is a very good person and takes care of you like a family. Her rental price is very good and you enjoy as a family a place where everything is here with your favorite movies. . read more

The service here is fantastic. Firstly, there truly are no more video rental stores anywhere anymore, and thank goodness for this one. Gina is the owner and kindly greeted me open entry and helped me pick out - an awesome movie (Before Sunset) for my date night with my girlfriend. Support this business because the owner is super nice and the business they provide is rare nowadays. Gina the owner also gave me free gum and cheetos for my movie and it was my first time ever being in the store and meeting her. God Bless that Woman. read more

I love going here. I'm a big movie guy and I always enjoy watching movies with my family.

She's a real sweetheart and I love her dearly. Every time I come when she sees me she's always so happy to see me and has a smile on her face. Her positive energy is so contagious, I always feel great when I come there. If you're ever looking to rent a movie, come to Video Depot in Newhall on Lyons Ave. There's movies for every genre. Gina will take care of you. She values her job and treats the customers with the utmost respect like we're family. 10/10 would recommend. Come on down there. You will be so glad you did! read more

Video Depot is an incredible store, in large part because of its wonderful owner's Gina and John Lee. When you enter the store Gina will always greet you with a smile and a compliment, and more than likely offer you food and free rentals. Gina is just the best, she is so kind to everyone who walks into her store, and truly loves her customers. John is super nice as well, and if you ever need anything notarized he has great rates. They are both amazing people who really love the community of movie renters they have built over the years. They have also amassed a huge selection of movies over the years. I've found movies at Video Depot that I've never heard of, as well as movies that are hard to find, and I always enjoy scouring the horror, classics, and western sections to find interesting movies. They also sell DVDs, Blu Rays, and even VHS tapes! Video Depot is a very special and important institution in Newhall, and I hope that it is able to stay open for years to come. read more

Video Depot - Gina Lee, owner of Video Depot - Videos & Video Game Rental Near Me - Santa Clarita, California

I visited the video depot and honestly I wouldn't go anywhere else. The owners are down to earth and just polite and welcoming, I just found this jewel and now I have a movie rental location to go too and show my baby girl how the experience of movie rentals in person brings that enjoyment then just clicking on an app. Gina lee is the sweetest person I have ever encountered, if you want to support a company that treasures your business and treats you like family this is the place to go too! Movie rentals are just $2.77 for 5 days! It's even cheaper than Redbox!! They also notarize 7 days a week from 11-9pm! Do movie rentals while notarizing ! And trust me when I say they do lower than competitive prices! read more

You mean to tell me there is a classic, old school style, video store still around in Santa Clarita? OMG, sign me up! I mean, RE sign me up, because I used to be a regular customer when I lived in the area going back almost 30 years! And here we are today, John as nice as ever and Gina still calling people from the wait list and telling them their rental is ready for pick up. This kind of customer service (and prices) hardly exists anymore, you'll feel like you e gone back in the Hot Tub Time Machine, but no need to pinch yourself, it's not a dream. There really is a place still around to experience the thrill of walking down the aisles and choosing a dvd/Blu-ray (even vhs), there really is a place that has a fantastic selection for a fantastic price and rental period (5 days, but since I drive in from out of town she gives me a week!) and a wonderful mom and pops feel. You can rent a movie and party like it's 1999, and I am so thankful a place like this still exists! read more

I love coming to video depot!!! I have been coming here since I was a little boy. They have an amazing selection of classic films, most of which you can't get on Netflix or Hulu. I missed the days of going out and picking movies to watch and getting a couple bags of popcorn. When I moved back here from the valley and went to smart and final I saw that they were still in business. I rushed in to open an account. Gina has been great!! She has become one of my best friends and I love her very much. So if you are like me and love the classics you should try out video depot. It's super cheap and lots of fun! read more

The staff are lovely and genuine people who really helped me last-minute when I was looking for a notary late Saturday night. Prices were same as any other notary. I browsed the DVD selection and was pleasantly surprised to see so many. I'll surely return to check out some movies I eyed before I had to leave! read more

If you like to haggle, this is the place for you. I don't, so I'm not a big fan. I visited this place for the first time the other day. When I walked in and asked the gentleman at the front counter - the one dozing-off in his chair - what was for rent and what was for sale, he responded with, "She'll help you." He then pointed to a woman at the back of the store. She immediately walked over to assist me and was extremely nice, but her pricing was sketchy. There's a sign in the front window and one behind the counter that says, "5 DVDs for $12." These are used DVDs we're talking about, of course. However, when I approached the register with 3 DVDs and 1 BluRay, she wanted to charge me $5 for each DVD and $10 for the BluRay. $25? When I questioned this, she asked me, "How much do you want to pay?" What?!?! How much does anybody WANT to pay? After going back and forth with her, swapping-out the BluRay for another DVD, pointing-out the two signs, and offering to buy a 5th DVD assuming this was the only way to qualify for the deal, I paid her $12 for just 4 DVDs. This was still more than advertised... but at that point, I just wanted to leave. And maybe that's the point: wear down the customer, who then pays more than they want to just so they can get the hell out of there. read more

Video Depot is the ultimate mom and pop rental store. They have survived 4 Blockbusters opening up within a mile radius, Hollywood Video, and Netflix over the years, and mark my words...they will even survive Redbox. And I will tell you why. You cannot beat customer service at a modest price ($3 a DVD) in a world now almost void of customer service. Not only is the owner, Mrs. Lee, the nicest lady in the world, but she has had some very enthusiastic, movie aficionado staff over the years. My favorite staffer they have there is Bryan. The man is a movie guru. He knows every movie, every context, every scene, every performance. He knows his stuff. Just trust me, because I am a movie nut also and I know I will never come close to his knowledge and taste for movies. Every movie he has ever recommended me to rent has been awesome. Back in the day when I used to live close by, I would even have him pull movies off the shelf for me when he thought I would like it. They always have the latest release, and even if they don't, if you just mention it to Mrs. Lee, she'll quickly write it down and go out and get it. leave her your number and she'll let you know when she has it. I love this place, and I continue to go back and visit every time I visit my mother's house. read more

We called many notary businesses near the SCV area and none were opened on a Sunday. We were so lucky to find this hidden gem! The notary is located inside the video depot store which reminded me of Blockbuster. The owners were very kind and provided us with excellent customer service!! read more

Gina and her husband have one of the few places left where you can actually rent a dvd or blu-Ray. In addition to a massive stock of movies, you get treated like a beloved family member every time you enter. If you haven't been there, you REALLY should visit. read more

We rent movies from Gina almost every weekend. She is always so friendly and genuine. She remembers every detail of things we've shared and takes the time to follow up. My husband and I got married a month ago. Today we went in and she pointed out that we've now been married four weeks....a fact that we ourselves hadn't even remembered at first, haha. The video store is a classic! And there's nothing like the feeling of browsing through all the movies hoping to find "the one." It's really a special place. :) read more
