It's not totally original, but it's interesting and well executed. I totally buy this as a real doc. Some really effective scenes.

3 Thoughts After Watching ‘The Poughkeepsie Tapes’: 1. I couldn’t wait for it to end. The acting was PAINFUL. And the story… it seemed like they made of list of the most shocking scenarios, peppered them throughout the movie, and hoped for the best. 2. The scariest part was the opening credits with the eerie music. 3. Maybe if the killer spoke less and didn’t dress like the Phantom of the Opera, I would have found him a little more terrifying.

Badly shot found footage film going with the gruesome to make the film move along. Bad acting, substandard plot. If you like The Blair Witch Project, you’ll probably enjoy this. I need to watch something else now to cleanse myself of this sh*t.

Famous for not being released for 7 years - it was probably ground breaking at the time.

The idealogy behind it is clever, delivery is interesting but for a film hyped up to me as a truly disturbing piece, I have to be honest and say I've seen far worse.
