I watched The Poughkeepsie Tapes yesterday and thought it was kinda dull.

Two movies I really like that I think get overlooked are Blair Witch 2 and Silent Hill.

saw the poughkeepsie tapes again recently. kinda boring. the person i watched it with wasn't too impressed, either. i did think it was really good the first time... super creepy. maybe i was wrong, or maybe the novelty wears off real quick. still worth a viewing.

I watched it a few days ago. It was fucked up. I just borrowed An American Crime from my sister which is based on the same story, so it will hopefully provide a good comparison piece.

Watched The Poughkeepsie Tapes last weekend and wasnt all that fussed about it, it was ok but it didnt creep me out all that much.
Started watching something early hours of this morning with someone but after a few mins we didnt think our brains could deal with it so plan on watching it another time.
Its not a horror as such and not very recent but just from the trailer and what i saw this morning it seems pretty damn intense! It's called 'Begotten' here is one of the trailers..

I own Begotten, fucked up pointless movie that's only good with the volume muted and any Ministry album cranked up.

many thanks for the links to The Poughkeepsie Tapes.

!!!!SPOILER ALERT!!!!

I can't say I particularly enjoyed it or disliked it.
Some of the actors were very unconvincing.
In particular the FBI guy who says "i had to view all the tapes and one day i took my work home and my fiance saw a tape. it was over a year before she let me touch her again".
the little pause for effect before that last line was so false i burst out laughing watching it.
some of the other stuff was kinda fucked up though.

the bit where the English girl meets her death is fucked.

the one thing that really bothers me and kept me thinking about it was the part where Cheryl, the girl who was kidnapped, slit the prostitute's throat. At first I wasn't sure if she did it to put the other girl out of her misery as she knew exactly what horrors were awaiting her, or if she had gone crazy from being subjected to all that violence or if she had truly become his slave.
That was unsettling.

When I watched that scene again, you see him hand her the knife, teh untie her and whisper something to her ear. Even still, that was kinda messed up.

I think it could have been brilliant with better actors involved.

I think the faux-news documentary approach worked quite well what with the reconsctructions and the moody music and so on as, in the UK anyways, a lot of crime and news shows do feature melodramatic music over actual footage of violence and reconstructions.

i'd give it a 7 out of 10.

Some of the dialogue I could imagine being sampled by some pig vocals gore beatdown death nonsense band.
