The Poughkeepsie Tapes

[The Geek Vault]

Does anyone know what's going on with this film? I saw trailers for it in theaters and saw extensive articles on it on Shocktillyoudrop.com. I really hope it's still coming out but I can't find anything on it! Anyone know anything?

I remember I saw a trailer for this with IAL?

It looks terrorfying.

Well that's why I want to see it!

Holy mother in pancakes, I saw that one vid where he's sneaking up behind the girl and he's like crawling on the ground.

Damn now this movie makes me curious to see what it really is....

I just checked IMDB and it hasn't come out yet. Although it was set to come out on DVD at the end of January.

I think I got confused when I saw the trailer/poster at the theatre...and then forgot about it.

or how about when you see him in the house from the video camera's pov, and the young girl steps into the hallway, sees him and freezes...then runs screaming.

That really freaked me out. Movies like this one, and the Strangers, Portrait of a Serial Killer, etc., always DO because nothing is scarier than crazy psychotic people who kill for the hell of it.

Just saw it last night after looking forward to it for some time and it is quite dissapointing. Mainly because of the acting being so bad. Some of the dialogue is really unrealistic as well and when you're tying to make a ficitonal documentary like this that should be priority one. The killer's videos are probably the best part of the film, but only a couple of them are actually creepy at all.

Couldn't agree more. My favourite horror is normally where the things can actually happen - like psychos, rather than some rubber-suited monster.

It came out on dvd at the end of January, got screwed out of a theatrical release.

I gotta say, like most of you, I had high hopes based on the trailer and it was not at all like I thought if would be. It feels very very cheap and amateurish. It really doesn't even deserve a theatrical release. I guess I give the film kudos for trying to make a somewhat original horror film, but it could've been executed far better.
