Review of The Poughkeepsie Tapes (2007) by Troy K — 02 Aug 2014
This movie is pretty much split 50/50 between people who liked it and those that didn't, and I can see why. This movie is uncomfortable to watch, there are large parts that are strangely shot, and it doesn't deliver scares in the way the horror movie going public is used to.
For all of these reasons it's one of my favorite and most recommended horror movies out there. It's not about getting cheap thrills, it's about a lot of the realities surrounding serial killers.
From some serious torture scenes to one of the best movie portrayals of Stockholm Syndrome I've seen, I recommend this movie because it sticks with you. It's not just about the same-old torture porn that every serial killer movie has, it reminds you of the reality of serial killers loose in the U.
S. today. It is definitely worth your time if you're a die-hard horror movie buff.
