Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

There are only two things holding 'The Poughkeepsie Tapes' back from being a truly great movie. The first is the acting. My goodness it is shocking in some scenes. It's rare for a movie released as recently as 2007 to have acting this bad. The girl trying to pop the balloon is possibly the worst piece of acting I can remember seeing. The second thing is the inclusion of some scenes in the final cut. This is supposed to be a (fake obviously) documentary on a serial killer and yet there are a tremendous amount of things that would simply never be shown in any real documentary (explicit patient records spoken out loud by a doctor is a very obvious one that comes to mind). Apart from those two things though I have to say I quite liked this film.This is an exceedingly dark film, make no mistake about that. It was made without a conscious, and I quite like that quality in a film. There is also one element to the story (revolving around 9/11) that I found very innovative, creative and original. It's one of those things that keeps you thinking after the film is finished. This certainly isn't for the faint of heart, however if you're up to it you may just find yourself very much enjoying 'The Poughkeepsie Tapes'.

So,recently enough,The Poughkeepsie Tapes,a banned horror documentary was released on Blu ray by Scream Factory,look I don't see every horror film in the world like The Mummy(ya I know I haven't seen a classic!!),but,em this movie...ya,this movie I've sadly seen,but anyway getting in to it,The Poughkeepsie Tapes follows a group of police officers and FBI agents as they try to track down a deranged serial killer,who recorded all of his murders on tapes. Now,when I heard about this,I was like,ugh,just show me the damn movie and then I saw the tapes..I HAD TO TURN IT OFF!! The Poughkeepsie Tapes,is actually to me a bit sad,this dude,I don't know his name but he directed As Above So Below,had to use disturbing video tapes,that I actually don't even know are fake,I heard rumor's about these tapes being real,to make a brilliant banned horror film,what about trying your best then gathering a whole bunch of crappy actors and going 'let's make this really violent,torturous movie with really deranged murder tapes..but otherwise,let's talk about the good things,well,this film was so creepy and disturbing then anything! The guy who played this guy was so messed up and creepy,shivers ran through my back like all the time,I am not going to spoil but what this guy did was so deranged and scary and especially where it was all set. The Poughkeepsie Tapes is a really disturbing horror film that to me,should have just been banned forever,never released on DVD!!

One of the most brutal horror movies out there! It's like you are watching a bunch of tapes from a serial killer. There isn't much plot it's more about going through the different scary scenes of people getting tortured and killed.It's not too too bloody like the Saw movies I think are probably bloodier but this movie is so intense! It actually feels like you are watching serial killer footage which is scary. The mask man in one scene almost made me have a heart attack!I don't know why more people don't talk about this movie!!

I'm a big fan of horror but I fail to see the entertainment value in this gratuitous trash. Sure, we all know there is unspeakable evil in this world but is it entertaining to see it on display?You choose what you expose yourself to and I can think of much better diversions thank you very much. I know there is evil in the world, I don't have to have it shoved down my throat. At least movies like Hostel have redeeming qualities whereas I fail to see any in this.Do not watch this movie if your'e sensitive, it's not worth you're time.If you have serial killer fantasies and like to see innocent people defiled, if it gives you a sense of power etc then it may be for you.
