Review of The Poughkeepsie Tapes (2007) by Nick A — 07 Sep 2014
The Poughkeepsie Tapes is a good effort at a found footage horror film but in the end it just comes up short. Especially watching it after just having re-watched the found footage classic "The Blair Witch Project", you immediately see how TPT failed where TBWP succeeded.
TPT suffered from an acute case of trying too hard. TBWP felt exactly like what it was: some kids in the woods exploring an urban legend. TPT felt like a filmmaker trying to be scary. The writing was shoddy and the acting suffered for it.
All in all disappointing.
