The Poughkeepsie Tapes (2007) Review:
The Poughkeepsie Tapes is a highly disturbing movie, to say the least. It was clearly made to make the audience feel very uncomfortable, and greatly succeeds!
This found-footage type is gruesome to an almost voyeuristic point. It is also quite scary. The film has its lot of jump scares, but there are insignificant in comparison with the terrorizing psychological tension that the movie brings. Thereee are a few scenes during which the killer gets into the house while the inhabitants are here, or sleeping, that are extremely tense and terrified us. The found footage style further enhanced the impression that you are the killer himself, about to get caught, and overall makes it a really stressful experience. The girl pet is another example of a really messed up idea!
Since it is so twisted, it took me a while to decide that I actually liked it, but I still wonder if all this gruesomeness was really necessary. To be unbiased, I would say that this movie is a very unusual experience. Not for the faint-hearted.
