I am not fond of this movie. I liked the idea behind it, but I don't think it was executed very well.
OK, so I guess IMDb automatically detects the presence of the word "spoiler" in the review and puts up a warning, but there's really nothing to spoil here - see below.I heard that this flick had some problems with censorship and will probably never be released in Germany, so naturally I got curious.
I love horror films or anything with blood and guts but they made this film look real as possible and the story is nuts and the ending with his slave makes it even crazier....if you like sick or creepy films then yea watch this because it will leave you in aw....
To the people who thought the acting sucked? Trust me it didn't.
The Poughkeepsie Tapes is an interesting take on the "found footage" genre, which presents itself as more of an analysis of a serial killer's tapes and his bloody tirade that takes place over the course of decades. It has more of a documentary-style and tries very hard to play as a legitimate, real-life production.
The concept of the movie drew me in. and the writing and editing was very good, but who on earth chose this cast??
What an extraordinary achievement for the creators of this masterpiece. Not only have they created something truly original, but have presented it in an expertly fashion.
This movie was one I've seen on top scary movie lists so I finally got around to watching it and it is far worse than I expected. Right away acting was flat but I forgave it because it fits the idea of a documentary where these are real people not actors, but then when you get to the "real acting" everything is so over the top and almost silly it is even worse.
A tightly paced mocumentary style, Blair Witch Project tribute that focuses on a "real" serial killer-rapist known as the "Water Street Butcher".With beautiful shots of the western and eastern banks of the Hudson River and the Poughkeepsie area, the film shows us the dark underbelly of the town through the interviews of FBI agents, detectives, physicians and family members of victims interlocking these moments with footage of the actual kidnappings and killings the butcher took himself.
