I heard of this movie a few years ago when it was at some film festival and now it's gotten a more main stream release. Limited of course but it's available at least. The only problem is that it isn't all that good.
The idea of the film is that it's a documentary about these tapes, snuff films if you will, that are found and they belong to this killer in Poughkeepsie. While not a real documentary and not even based on a real killer (it's a mix of 3 or 4) the film actually comes off as fake.
The acting is often questionable and maybe it's because I went in expecting a real documentary and instead got blindsided within a few minutes with the bad acting. I like that this fake footage is shown in the film when needed and some of it is just random like the girl being told to bounce and pop the balloon. By the end I just didn't care because it was done so poorly. All the buzz and it's a flop...
