Audience Member This has to be based on the street walker strangler that lived in st louis, mo. Serial killer, into bondage, taped his murders, taunted police that got him busted using maps on internet. Claims not to be but I call bullshit. Movie itself seemed more annoying then disturbing, and it wasn't very good. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/19/25 Full Review Jason W Disturbing and uncomfortable with some genuinely creepy segments. Basically a collection of snuff tapes. If some of the acting from the interviewees were a bit more realistic, and the overly done effects used on the "VHS" tapes were toned down, it would be even better. This true crime/serial killer found footage faux documentary is very well done and a study on Stockholm syndrome. It leaves you with a disgusted feeling. Some of the murders are quite unsettling due to their realistic nature. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/17/25 Full Review Mobi C Thought I was watching a real life documentary until I found a hole in the story and had to google it. Anyway, really well done. Good acting. Don't leave your kids alone, don't pick up strangers, let this be your reminder. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/02/25 Full Review Elli N Made me scared to go to bed after watching it. It felt so real and had me on the edge of my seat, every actor sold it in this documentary styled thriller. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/30/25 Full Review Audience Member Good for a few mild scares when you turn your brain off. It's disturbing but not the worst I've seen. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/13/25 Full Review Omar G The Poughkeepsie Tapes (2007), 3.5/5 stars. Directed by John Erick Dowdle, starring Stacy Chbosky. It's a gothic love story, about the sadist and his masochistic victim who commits suicide, so that he returns for her corpse and desecrates it even if she is no longer conscious, she knows that he is a necrophiliac. This useless man rejoices of his unpunished murders, of his trusting victims and incompetent authorities, what did he achieve and celebrate? In the film the murderer is praised by the inept authorities, they did not deserve their salaries from taxes. A culture that celebrates serial killers. A fantastic ode to how this guy who mocks the system is admired, that's what the film is about. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/24/24 Full Review Read all reviews
