Embedded Files
The Poughkeepsie Tapes
Found footage or documentary style horror movies are my jam. I absolutely love them, and a good chunk of them scare the crap out of me. Unfortunately, this one is extremely awful. The story itself is mostly there, and has a ‘Zodiac’ kind of feel, in terms of killer and stuff. It just really wasn't delivered in a believable or thrilling way. I think the big downside about this movie though is how even though the serial killer stuff is intriguing, it just doesn’t feel new. It just felt like a lot of other documentary style movies I’ve seen. There’s also a lot of parts of the found footage where the acting is awful and it just feels so unreal. Never believable. None of the acting was good. The killer wasn’t also super menacing. That’s about all there is to say. The movie isn’t confusing, and it’s short, but nothing else is there. It's just boring and weak and lacks a certain quality needed for these kinds of movies. The "videos" can be disturbing to some, but that's the only highlight of the movie. I probably wouldn’t recommend it, unless you just really, really like found footage/documentary horror movies.
