@Cineflect you need to do one about the film Cannibal Holocaust from around the 70's this is one for the Cult House... and also from the same time there was the Blood Feast
TRY to review an old Classic Serial Killer movie, THE TOWN THAT DREADED SUNDOWN (Based on Actual Events) I watched it and the Movie Crowd went Crazy at some parts of it. 😲
I don't think it's was bad acting I think it was very good especially from Stacey who played Cheryl Dempsey and the killer was the most sadist since Henry portrait of a serial killer. So don't be so harsh on a classic movie.
@@Js_splewd It's a mockumentary, which means it makes it look like a documentary but the plot of the movie and the people are fictional. (Sorry if I made any spelling mistakes, english isn't my first language)
idk about all that, nihilism is a lot less disgusting and disturbing than this. cynicism and nihilism are too close to comedy to compare them to shit like this for me although i get what you meant. knowing that shit like this really happens causes us to lose faith in humanity like nihilism and cynicism
Theory. I feel that The murderer from the Poughkeepsie tapes is basically evil itself. Think about it. He's horrible, ruthless, does not care for sympathy, and the bodies keep stacking. The police can never find him because he's evil himself. Even though justice will never completely end murder, we can try our best to prevent it. And sometimes inevitable moments like him torturing someone and making her have Stockholm syndrome symbolizes the helplessness we feel for people, or when it is too late. There will always be another killer. And evil is always a step ahead of us from solving the entire case.
The most disturbing line is when he kidnaps the girl and drives her somewhere. She asks "Are you going to kill me?" And Ed says "Trust me honey, you won't want to be alive for the things I'm about to do to you"
I watched this a few days ago. This scene really disturbed me. I couldn't handle the sounds when he punctured her throat. Her facial expressions, just everything.. I'm a but more relieved now to know the plotline is somewhat dramatic and exaggerated, I'll rest a bit easier😅 Also uh, I'll never get into a stranger's car for shit.
@@sristhib9667 better watch out!!!! They're a twisted cycle path !1111!!!!ahaha but in all seriousness this comments radiates the energy of someone who's never had an intrusive thought in their life
the “you can live as long as you don’t blink” was terrifying and so fucking disturbing imagine her fear and panic while her eyes are burning trying not to blink
Actually easy to do.. dont hold your eyes all the way open, let them "rest" naturally without closing.. then roll your eyes around. you will moisten them without blinking. (I know this is a year late but I learned it recently and thought it would be cool to share)
To be fair, the cast of the shining wasn't traumatized from only the performances. The director treated them horribly so maybe but probably not to the same extent
For sure, it would feel fake (even though it is) if the footage was edited, and the movie going for a documentary feel was messed with music, wouldn’t be nearly as unsettling and creepy
It would have definitely gotten a lot of media attention and had a lot of parents talking to their kids. I saw it at like 4 in the morning. I didn’t sleep at all afterwards and was up for the day. I hated this movie. Hated it. Hated it. Hated it. Hate it as in I hate how good it was at showing the truth about how easy it is to kidnap people. It’s scary that America doesn’t teach kids about this and about how to protect themselves from strangers.
I thought this shit was real back when I watched it. The video quality, the authenticity of the interview segments, and what really sold it for me was that I could not find any info on it online. It was just a UA-cam video when I watched it
I remember seeing the clip of the woman getting stabbed in the neck and thought I’d watched a woman get murdered and didn’t sleep for a week, glad I know the origin now
Same here. I remember seeing that clip way back in 2007/8 as a young teenager and believing it was real because it was only that single clip and UA-cam didn’t crack down on content as hard back then. Not to mention the plot is sickeningly realistic.
Both of these movies are ridiculously terrible. The ****scene in Megan in missing is horribly realistic. Otherwise, These movies are just awful. They tried too hard lol
@@ShadowFox746 you're right "Megan is Missing" wasn't scary but it definitely was possibly in Top 10 found footage films that will continue to f**K with you for a looooong time after seeing it the last scene was like torture for us having it last as long as it did and that shot of Megans head with her mouth pried open like that on the barrel was horrible but the worst for me was the moment she is discovered inside aforementioned barrel 😱
@@hMusic-tb8hl yeah they did pretty damn good with that one. They did a good job hyping it up and playing it off as real too. Had internet websites etc with all the "true story" info. In my area, when it first came out, you could only see it at the Inwood Theatre in Dallas, because of its "content" 😆 It was a damn good time, before it got exposed.
Yeah the Girl Scout scene did it for me I couldn't believe what was happening like how close they were to becoming his next victims and then when they heard the crying from downstairs and knowing what might have just might have happened that was tough to watch
The American government should have a homicide hotline, like the suicide hotline. Where, if you're having homicidal thoughts, you can call and get help. I'm sure, that their are killers out there, who have never killed, and don't want to. And so, would appreciate help.
They want population control. They'd never consider it. Suicide hotlines don't even stop most from killing themselves. It's silly actually, those who are serious about suicide tell no one their plans. The government knows this as well as we do.
What makes these types of movies scarier then normal ghost/slasher movies is that this actually happens and is so realistic it gives me, a long time horror fan the most chills I have ever experienced
This movie has stayed on my mind since I watched in in October of 2020. I really like that they didn't shy away from anything, in the sense that he would even kill men and kids. Showing a killer has no morals or pattern makes them truly terrifying. Also, the scene of him beating Cheryl in her home, where it is just the shadows was pretty rough. It really looked like he was hitting her. Cheryl was constantly told what to say by the killer, to the point that she didn't know how to think for herself. She kept saying "I don't know what you want me to say" because he spent so long brain washing her. I reeally loved this film.
this movie terrified me as a young teen as my friends told me it was an actual documentary (ridiculous i know) but when i rewatched it this year i realised how cheesy the storyline is and how much they relied on real life serial killers to base Ed around
@@psydoof yeah i know i think it was because i originally was told that it was real footage and then when i rewatched it and could relate it to true crime cases i realised how cheesy it was, idk if that makes sense
Its ok, I I didn't realize it was fake either when you first see him hit that little girl over the head and then run it kind of captures you from there, and although a lot of the interviews were cheesy you know they set it up to look really real and VHS tapes look real themselves given the time frame
I would say, that one of the most disturbing things in the film, is your imagination going through all the events, every tape and victim could be potentially genuine, imo the film could be disturbing as much the spectator understand these sad events in real life.
That's a great point. Often the scariest things are what's left offscreen. The original TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE is a great example of this. Also, the "missing tapes" discussed at the end is pretty much an invitation for the viewer to imagine the worst things possible.
@@cineflect Exactly, another mockumentary that created a similar atmosphere, it's Lake Mungo, it would be great if one day you decided to talk about (sorry, I haven't look on the channel if there's a video yet :( ).
LAKE MUNGO has been on my watchlist for years. I didn't realize it was a mockumentary. I'll add it to The Cult House lineup and hope to cover it sooner rather than later :)
The most disturbing part for me was how he forced her to look at herself. This is some really evil disturbing shit. Her fate was so damn sad and sadistic it makes me sick even if it's just a movie.
The Poughkeepsie tapes is the best serial killer thriller. Ed is the kind of serial who exist in our world who goes around in our society hurting raping and killing people the most chilling scene is when he killed Jennifer Gorman the 8 year old girl who he raped and killed was so disturbing you can't help but to cry for the little girl. These monsters exist and it's a chilling thought to know that people die like this every day by the hands of these serial killers . It's a great film. 👍
The small girl looks like my neice, so to see and hear one of the worst things that could happen to a small girl, really got to me for quite some time.. and still bothers me ..
it’s good! however, “The House That Jack Built” is a little better as far as serial killer goes. The Poughkeepsie tapes are more taboo, however The House That Jack Built is more entertaining, interesting, detailed, and researched. they both play their roles perfectly however!
Yeah it's a very real thing. There are many Satanic rituals going on where children are the focal point of the torture, abuse, & sacrifice. I highly recommend looking into Mk-Ultra & Ritualistic Abuse Survivors. They are denied help by police & any government services to stop the abuse. Police are involved in these cults & they only really punish those pedovores, etc. that are not in the cult. This is part of why police get away with so much, they are protected by more than the government but also the Dark Occultists. There is 2 people "Phoenix & Aria" who share their accounts over audio on UA-cam who were ritualisticly abused for years until they managed to distance themselves from their abusers. They sought help via the UK police & were humiliated & denied valid help. The UK, Canada, US, & the entire UN are all involved in these acts at the higher levels. The rituals they partake in are ancient and trace back to the worship of Moluch, whom people would sacrifice children & babies to, yet they still worship this diety who is synonymous with Satan, Baal, Pan, Lucifer, Baphomet. This is very real & very planned. They do this rituals in designated spots that send putrid evil energy of pure suffering on the Lay Line energy grid that covers the earth to produce a maximum effect of inducing energetic suffering onto the masses in focal cities. I'm from Michigan, I recently heard about a survivor Cathy O'Brien who was abused in her childhood in SW Michigan. It made me sick to know how close these people are & how abundant they are. Once you follow the trail you can see how abundant these people are. This is part of the whole Q Anon psyop/disinfo, to dissuade people from being discerning about legitimate evidence of a an integrated web of control, abuse, & genocide. Please for the sake of the people that have endured these things, listen to them speak since they are risking assassination to speak out. Listening to them protects them. If we had all acted sooner, there would not be countless lives murdered via rituals & through covering up these crimes.
I felt like the “Director” of this documentary was supposed to be the killer. We know he like filming and theater. So making this about about himself seems likely. Also his voice sounds like the killer as well as Cheryl saying “I don’t know what you want me to say”
i am thinking the exact same thing!!!! especially because of what the fbi agent said at the end of the movie about how “when this documentary you’re making ever gets to the theatres” like it’s some random person making a “documentary” and his voice sounds like the killers and everything. i am so set on him being the one making the documentary
Also him focusing on Cheryl only, and glossing over the other victims. He had an obsession over her and felt a twisted "love" for her so this film was exactly as the one cop said, it was a momento.
Why would your mom let you watch a documentary about a serial killer showing real snuff footage if she didn't know it was fake. Jesus that's bad parenting
Why is it that I am more disturbed by fictional crimes rather than true crimes? Seriously though, this has me feeling so disassociated from reality. Awesome review! Gonna subscribe Pronto!
Bro, true crime is worst, go look at the channel “disturbed reality” and you’ll realize how fucked up our real world is, there no showing of gore but there documenting
Because you got to see these fake tapes but you’ll never get to see real ones from true crimes. Like the ones made by Charles Ng and his partner. The cop who watched those tapes was so traumatised you could see it in his eyes.

I love true crime shows, and thought that the awkward police interviews were pretty on point. The guy grilling while giving his interview was comedy gold, however.
For the most part, they feel akin to things I’ve seen in TV documentaries, but there’s a few instances (like the “dismemberment expert”) that just feel like parody.
Real life serial killers aren't those super smart, sophisticated evil geniuses we know from the movies. They're brutes. And if the police fails to catch them then it's mostly not because of the killer being smart, but because of sloppy police work.
@@DavidZ7785 Tend Bundy wasn't very smart, even though he believed otherwise. He could be quite charming, yes, but that was it. I mean that idiot was so full of himself he believed he wouldn't need a lawyer and could defend himself in court (spoiler: he couldn't).
@@ScepticGinger89true. Just because you got into a 3rd rate law school doesnt make you a genius. Law school isnt like Medical school where congress limits the amount of spots that can exist in a year, meaning just to get into ANY med school is so competitive that qualified people are rejected from going to any. Anyone can go to law school; what matters is *where* you go which will depend mostly on your LSAT score. Though to practice you do have to pass the bar, but Bundy didnt.
Theyre really trying to sell the idea that this is a ten year old movie when the girl scouts come door to door instead of sitting at a table outside a grocery store with adults by them.
I was born in early 04, when this movie came out, many people were talking about how disturbing it was. It was also on the news, all that shit. My mom kept that away from me but I still want to watch it now that I’m older, and I have a deep fascination for true crime and documentaries
There was an actual serial killer in Poughkeepsie who used to prey on prostitutes and people who wouldnt "matter" he was a lesser known and unintelligent being. He kept his bodies in and around his house. One of his victims who got away reported seeing feces on his bedroom floor. I read about this in a true crime book. ( watched end) They mentioned the actual serial killer.
@@cineflect no but I can look it up. It mentions in it how francois was a janitor at a school , he wasn't very educated. Those are things that stick out in my mind. Edit::: Body Dump. I remembered when I searched for it how it looked.
Thank you for making this video. As someone who has home invasion as one of their biggest fears I couldn't bring myself to watch this but your voiceover and jokes are keeping me calm so I can enjoy this. Thank you!
I watched it last night. What a sick twisted person. Absolutely no conscience. I can’t begin to imagine the horror Cheryl Dempsey went through. I wonder what happened in this man’s life that made him so evil. Thank you for this video!

@@coiledsteel8344 they used to be on UA-cam if you want to check them out they probably still are or for sure on other sites it’s actually pretty fascinating
I actually don't think there's a law (at least in the U.S. where I am based) against that. I know I've seen several films, mainly documentaries, that show people dying onscreen. rest assured, there's nothing real in THE POUGHKEEPSIE TAPES or most "found footage" films.
Honestly, so many. There's several docs about hospice system (including ISLAND and HOW TO DIE IN OREGAN) that chart the last days of their patients. One of the best docs from last year, AQUARELA, has a harrowing scene where someone is trapped under ice and dies onscreen. FACES OF DEATH notoriously feature some real death scenes among all the staged one. Not to mention the countless docs set in warzones and other events of civil unrest.

It shakes me up these people knew they were gonna die or something horrible would happen. The couple in the car: "babe we might be movie stars". Cheryl: "It just feels like something's gonna happen. Everything's been too happy".
ive seen the film/case, and it’s extremely graphic and i like the case but it’s really something. i feel so bad for Cheryl and what she had to go through and how bad she was brainwashed by her abuser/kidnapper. when they found her kidnapper she came home she was so scared and never knew what to say due to the mental abuse:( and especially the little girl she was so innocent every girl/ woman and men didn’t deserve any of this.

Whenever this movie comes up, and I mean WHENEVER it comes up, I feel obligated on a moral level to warn people that this a BEYOND FU@&ED UP movie! I saw it years ago and it legit disturbed me on a level I didn't think was possible. Watch it at your own peril.

Regarding the real life inspiration, I think that the creators of this movie were definitely aware of Maury Travis. He was a serial killer who kidnapped women, tortured and killed them in his basement (while recording) and in the end got cought in the exact same way, that the house of the killer in the movie was found (he sent a map which was traced back to his computer). Also, Cheryl keeps saying "You are the master. It pleases me to serve you.", which is something that one of Maury Travis' victims says on his tapes.
Oh yeah for sure. Dudes tapes are basically like word for word the same as this movie. The slave master roleplay. Only difference was this killer dramatically killed more people to make it more scary for us. Real guy killed like 13 prostitutes. Of course for dramatic effect, they make this killer kill way people. The real guy you mentioned also would say stuff like “what type of mother are you? Your prostituting while your baby is with your mother. Apologize to your baby. For being a whore.” Then he made her say it. “I’m sorry for being a whore.” If you look up that guys tapes on UA-cam, the audio is on UA-cam.
The modus operendi of the fictional killer is kind of the same as David Parker Ray, the toy box killer. Parker didn't film but he torture horrificly his victimes
@@Gudule3000 yeah but if you see the guy that we’re talking about, you’ll see the Poughkeepsie Tapes were definitely based off him. Almost same exact thing. Only Poughkeepsie Tapes killer was dramatized (killed hundreds of people, thousands of hours of footage, killed children, families, women). Real guy targeted prostitutes only But yeah it’s all same motive. Having a slave and psychological torture and making person submit to you. Real disturbing shit. It’s real insane to think someone really went though this. Like to us, it’s just a transcript or audio recording or a movie. These people really were bound and put through psychological, sexual and physical torture. And someone got off on doing that. Real scary
Tammy Center not me thinking that if i say something to you that you going to find my location and you are the killer im sorry I just watch the film and you don’t know if it’s real or not
One of the few actually psychologically disturbing horror movies I've seen. In particular the girl that gets rescued and later commits suicide because she's become so conditioned to the torture that she can't live without it. 😱😢
god, this sounds so amazingly brilliant from what you've shown, and that bad acting really comes across the way a lot of cops and analysts do in these mini interview segments in other real life 'unsolved mystery' type documentaries and such.
Great break down of the film. I agree that it was mostly effective but brought down by the silly interviews. The VHS parts were well done and disturbing though. The theory I've came across is that the killer is the one who filmed the documentary, which would also explain why Cheryl acted the way she did during her interview at the end.
there were so many out of context clips of this movie. I'm so glad this is fake. every time I watched the clips I always thought ide rather be there because I can't stand to see another person suffer
Thanks for talking about the sense of humor. There was definitely a satirical element and no one talks about that. Regardless of if you think it hit the mark or missed it, I find this a really interesting and unique horror movie with some really freaky scenes
I get the scene where he's on all fours is supposed to be scary but I can't take it seriously- "ima comin to getcha'. Better watch out im the twisted cycle path of the forest."
I remember seeing the trailer for this film when I went to see "The Mist", and I was very excited to see that it would be coming out in a few months. Got to February, started looking for listings of it to show up in theatres, and got confused when it got to March and I hadn't heard anything about it. As the months went by, I started wondering if it had just missed coming to the Midwest, or if I'd imagined the whole thing. Finally, I forgot all about it until I saw an article about it online somewhere and was like, "Ah, it never got a theatrical release! I'm not crazy after all!" Managed to see it in 2014 after its video-on-demand release, and was not disappointed. It was spectacularly creepy, and everyone not in the interview portions gives sterling performances all around. The fact it ends on such a bleak and depressing note made it that much better, in my opinion. I got a copy as soon as Scream Factory released it. Excellent run-down and review! So glad I stumbled across your channel! :)
When I was in middle school, my older sister was taking forensic science at the time and since I was interested in it she would teach me some facts that she would learn. Sometimes she would also show my videos that she would see in class. One day while making dinner, she showed me The Poughkeepsie Tapes, mainly as a joke, but she never told me it wasn’t a real documentary. I watched the whole things thinking it was an actually murderer documentary... even though now I know it’s fake, it still traumatized me. I think the parts I specifically remember are the little girl being killed and the whole torture process. Looking back on it now, it’s probably hilarious that I actually believed my sister that this was a real documentary, and ever since watching this when I was younger I haven’t found any horror films that truly scare me. I guess watching this as my ‘unknowingly’ first ever horror had kinda, set the bar for me.
Haha, a great anecdote! The things our older siblings do... Good luck on your quest to find something to horrify you now. Hopefully we can find something through The Cult House. Have you seen BLACK CHRISTMAS? I think that film is genuinely creepy.
I think what makes this and other found footage like tapes so disturbing and leaves a huge impact on anyone that watches is how real it could, and sadly is, be. Its nothing like a slasher or paranormal film, this happens in real life
One thing that was said about the Killer during the various mock interviews that really interested was when one of the FBI agents said that the killer was so organized and good at what he did that he was able to make the police build countless profiles thinking that he was a bunch of different killers, but in reality, just staged it to make it seem that way.
I heard about this years ago but was told people were unsure if it was real or fictional. 😌😅 This has just made me want to watch it all the more. It genuinely looks good.
I've seen this film multiple times and thought it was great. The found footage gimmick made it less believable for me, and because of that, I don't think it's as disturbing as people say. Regardless, it's still a good film that is worth watching, even if it's just to say you've seen it. Great plot breakdown!
i thought it had a LOT of great elements but over all i just wanted more. it felt kinda all over the place and didn't commit to the ironic aspect enough.
It’s a very rare case of something becoming a cult film before it even releases. I’m covering another film of that nature soon (hint, hint). I agree, this one is not going away ever.

Is any of this footage actually real ?
TRY to review an old Classic Serial Killer movie, THE TOWN THAT DREADED SUNDOWN (Based on Actual Events)
I watched it and the Movie Crowd went Crazy at some parts of it. 😲
I think the bad acting makes it more believable. Investigators and cops aren't going to be terribly natural on camera.
I can see that. Personally, I feel it's more overacting than bad acting...
I don't think it's was bad acting I think it was very good especially from Stacey who played Cheryl Dempsey and the killer was the most sadist since Henry portrait of a serial killer. So don't be so harsh on a classic movie.
I think these were the real tapes not actors
that's a really interesting point i never thought of it that way
@@Js_splewd It's a mockumentary, which means it makes it look like a documentary but the plot of the movie and the people are fictional. (Sorry if I made any spelling mistakes, english isn't my first language)
this is the type of movie that doesn’t exactly scare...but leaves a serious cynical and nihilistic vibe about humans
Great way to put it!
idk about all that, nihilism is a lot less disgusting and disturbing than this. cynicism and nihilism are too close to comedy to compare them to shit like this for me although i get what you meant. knowing that shit like this really happens causes us to lose faith in humanity like nihilism and cynicism
Speak for yourself I'm sure people are very scared from this.
Theory. I feel that The murderer from the Poughkeepsie tapes is basically evil itself. Think about it. He's horrible, ruthless, does not care for sympathy, and the bodies keep stacking. The police can never find him because he's evil himself. Even though justice will never completely end murder, we can try our best to prevent it. And sometimes inevitable moments like him torturing someone and making her have Stockholm syndrome symbolizes the helplessness we feel for people, or when it is too late. There will always be another killer. And evil is always a step ahead of us from solving the entire case.
@@Skipper-101 Well in real life I suggest you look up Keth Hunter Jespersen a serial killer who killed 8 confirmed women during the nineties,
The most disturbing line is when he kidnaps the girl and drives her somewhere. She asks "Are you going to kill me?" And Ed says "Trust me honey, you won't want to be alive for the things I'm about to do to you"
I watched this a few days ago. This scene really disturbed me. I couldn't handle the sounds when he punctured her throat. Her facial expressions, just everything.. I'm a but more relieved now to know the plotline is somewhat dramatic and exaggerated, I'll rest a bit easier😅
Also uh, I'll never get into a stranger's car for shit.

I wonder if the actors were traumatised in some sense from performing such intense and terrifying scenes, just like in the shining.
I'd be curious to hear from Stacy Chbosky. Since she's married to the director I'd hope and assume she was all game.
Id love to hear everyone who worked on this movie talk about it.
To be fair, the cast of the shining wasn't traumatized from only the performances. The director treated them horribly so maybe but probably not to the same extent

It's a shame it's theatrical release was so delayed. Could you imagine the impact it would have had in the mid 2000s?
It would have definitely gotten a lot of media attention and had a lot of parents talking to their kids. I saw it at like 4 in the morning. I didn’t sleep at all afterwards and was up for the day. I hated this movie. Hated it. Hated it. Hated it. Hate it as in I hate how good it was at showing the truth about how easy it is to kidnap people. It’s scary that America doesn’t teach kids about this and about how to protect themselves from strangers.
There’s a few scenes that are burned into my memory …
Hills have Eyes movies were around! So not much, overrated asf...🤷♂️🤮🤦♂️
I thought this shit was real back when I watched it. The video quality, the authenticity of the interview segments, and what really sold it for me was that I could not find any info on it online. It was just a UA-cam video when I watched it

I'm sure, that their are killers out there, who have never killed, and don't want to. And so, would appreciate help.
that's smart
They want population control. They'd never consider it. Suicide hotlines don't even stop most from killing themselves. It's silly actually, those who are serious about suicide tell no one their plans. The government knows this as well as we do.

@@Jellyfish7273 Tbh that guy is all of the above
This movie has stayed on my mind since I watched in in October of 2020. I really like that they didn't shy away from anything, in the sense that he would even kill men and kids. Showing a killer has no morals or pattern makes them truly terrifying. Also, the scene of him beating Cheryl in her home, where it is just the shadows was pretty rough. It really looked like he was hitting her. Cheryl was constantly told what to say by the killer, to the point that she didn't know how to think for herself. She kept saying "I don't know what you want me to say" because he spent so long brain washing her. I reeally loved this film.
this movie terrified me as a young teen as my friends told me it was an actual documentary (ridiculous i know) but when i rewatched it this year i realised how cheesy the storyline is and how much they relied on real life serial killers to base Ed around
The films found are based off of real murders though
@@psydoof yeah i know i think it was because i originally was told that it was real footage and then when i rewatched it and could relate it to true crime cases i realised how cheesy it was, idk if that makes sense
Its ok, I I didn't realize it was fake either when you first see him hit that little girl over the head and then run it kind of captures you from there, and although a lot of the interviews were cheesy you know they set it up to look really real and VHS tapes look real themselves given the time frame
I thought it was real as a teen too! It was really believable as a kid. Lol.
@@Ponzupacket you saw this as a kid?
I would say, that one of the most disturbing things in the film, is your imagination going through all the events, every tape and victim could be potentially genuine, imo the film could be disturbing as much the spectator understand these sad events in real life.
That's a great point. Often the scariest things are what's left offscreen. The original TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE is a great example of this. Also, the "missing tapes" discussed at the end is pretty much an invitation for the viewer to imagine the worst things possible.
@@cineflect Exactly, another mockumentary that created a similar atmosphere, it's Lake Mungo, it would be great if one day you decided to talk about (sorry, I haven't look on the channel if there's a video yet :( ).
LAKE MUNGO has been on my watchlist for years. I didn't realize it was a mockumentary. I'll add it to The Cult House lineup and hope to cover it sooner rather than later :)
@@cineflect Nice, I'll be waiting that moment! :D
Hail the imperial legion
The most disturbing part for me was how he forced her to look at herself. This is some really evil disturbing shit. Her fate was so damn sad and sadistic it makes me sick even if it's just a movie.
The Poughkeepsie tapes is the best serial killer thriller. Ed is the kind of serial who exist in our world who goes around in our society hurting raping and killing people the most chilling scene is when he killed Jennifer Gorman the 8 year old girl who he raped and killed was so disturbing you can't help but to cry for the little girl. These monsters exist and it's a chilling thought to know that people die like this every day by the hands of these serial killers . It's a great film. 👍
Ed really belongs on the top movie villains list. Especially with how the film ends...
The small girl looks like my neice, so to see and hear one of the worst things that could happen to a small girl, really got to me for quite some time.. and still bothers me ..
it’s good! however, “The House That Jack Built” is a little better as far as serial killer goes. The Poughkeepsie tapes are more taboo, however The House That Jack Built is more entertaining, interesting, detailed, and researched. they both play their roles perfectly however!
@@griffinstaats1209 I saw that late last year, good movie.👍😬
Yeah it's a very real thing. There are many Satanic rituals going on where children are the focal point of the torture, abuse, & sacrifice. I highly recommend looking into Mk-Ultra & Ritualistic Abuse Survivors. They are denied help by police & any government services to stop the abuse. Police are involved in these cults & they only really punish those pedovores, etc. that are not in the cult. This is part of why police get away with so much, they are protected by more than the government but also the Dark Occultists. There is 2 people "Phoenix & Aria" who share their accounts over audio on UA-cam who were ritualisticly abused for years until they managed to distance themselves from their abusers. They sought help via the UK police & were humiliated & denied valid help. The UK, Canada, US, & the entire UN are all involved in these acts at the higher levels. The rituals they partake in are ancient and trace back to the worship of Moluch, whom people would sacrifice children & babies to, yet they still worship this diety who is synonymous with Satan, Baal, Pan, Lucifer, Baphomet. This is very real & very planned. They do this rituals in designated spots that send putrid evil energy of pure suffering on the Lay Line energy grid that covers the earth to produce a maximum effect of inducing energetic suffering onto the masses in focal cities. I'm from Michigan, I recently heard about a survivor Cathy O'Brien who was abused in her childhood in SW Michigan. It made me sick to know how close these people are & how abundant they are. Once you follow the trail you can see how abundant these people are. This is part of the whole Q Anon psyop/disinfo, to dissuade people from being discerning about legitimate evidence of a an integrated web of control, abuse, & genocide. Please for the sake of the people that have endured these things, listen to them speak since they are risking assassination to speak out. Listening to them protects them. If we had all acted sooner, there would not be countless lives murdered via rituals & through covering up these crimes.

I felt like the “Director” of this documentary was supposed to be the killer. We know he like filming and theater. So making this about about himself seems likely. Also his voice sounds like the killer as well as Cheryl saying “I don’t know what you want me to say”
I really like this interpretation as it makes the film and resolution that much more chilling.
i am thinking the exact same thing!!!! especially because of what the fbi agent said at the end of the movie about how “when this documentary you’re making ever gets to the theatres” like it’s some random person making a “documentary” and his voice sounds like the killers and everything. i am so set on him being the one making the documentary
Not to mention his wife playing Cheryl aswel. Lol.
Also him focusing on Cheryl only, and glossing over the other victims. He had an obsession over her and felt a twisted "love" for her so this film was exactly as the one cop said, it was a momento.

i took criminal justice in college...nothing scares me anymore
Haha! I would've loved to take a course like that.
Did you watch a Real Autopsy?

Well how about the truth then... There are many Satanic rituals going on where children are the focal point of the torture, abuse, & sacrifice. I highly recommend looking into Mk-Ultra & Ritualistic Abuse Survivors. They are denied help by police & any government services to stop the abuse. Police are involved in these cults & they only really punish those pedovores, etc. that are not in the cult. This is part of why police get away with so much, they are protected by more than the government but also the Dark Occultists.

@@coiledsteel8344 they used to be on UA-cam if you want to check them out they probably still are or for sure on other sites it’s actually pretty fascinating
It was too easy to imagine a real person capable of being like this killer and that unfortunate reality made the horror so effective.
I thought this shit was real before I found out it’s not legal to show actually people dying and I had paranoia for like a week
I actually don't think there's a law (at least in the U.S. where I am based) against that. I know I've seen several films, mainly documentaries, that show people dying onscreen. rest assured, there's nothing real in THE POUGHKEEPSIE TAPES or most "found footage" films.
@@cineflect
Wait. What documentaries?
Honestly, so many. There's several docs about hospice system (including ISLAND and HOW TO DIE IN OREGAN) that chart the last days of their patients. One of the best docs from last year, AQUARELA, has a harrowing scene where someone is trapped under ice and dies onscreen. FACES OF DEATH notoriously feature some real death scenes among all the staged one. Not to mention the countless docs set in warzones and other events of civil unrest.
@@cineflect
Okay. Maybe I just don't watch enough documentaries.

It shakes me up these people knew they were gonna die or something horrible would happen. The couple in the car: "babe we might be movie stars". Cheryl: "It just feels like something's gonna happen. Everything's been too happy".
he could've just walked into the room but no he decided to crawl like a possesed one 😭
ive seen the film/case, and it’s extremely graphic and i like the case but it’s really something. i feel so bad for Cheryl and what she had to go through and how bad she was brainwashed by her abuser/kidnapper. when they found her kidnapper she came home she was so scared and never knew what to say due to the mental abuse:(
and especially the little girl she was so innocent every girl/ woman and men didn’t deserve any of this.
Yeah, it’s downright chilling to see someone evolve (devolve?) entirely through somebody else’s actions. Stacy Chbosky’s performance really sells it.
Where do you find the real tapes at I actually want to see them

The fact that the lady that played Cheryl (Stacey Chbosky) is 100% fine and isn’t traumatized at all is crazy

@@yanahakai thanks Q
I’ve seen a Serbian film, I’m 11 and nothing affects me anymore ✨🦶🏼
Weak
Regarding the real life inspiration, I think that the creators of this movie were definitely aware of Maury Travis. He was a serial killer who kidnapped women, tortured and killed them in his basement (while recording) and in the end got cought in the exact same way, that the house of the killer in the movie was found (he sent a map which was traced back to his computer). Also, Cheryl keeps saying "You are the master. It pleases me to serve you.", which is something that one of Maury Travis' victims says on his tapes.
Oh yeah for sure. Dudes tapes are basically like word for word the same as this movie. The slave master roleplay. Only difference was this killer dramatically killed more people to make it more scary for us. Real guy killed like 13 prostitutes. Of course for dramatic effect, they make this killer kill way people.
The real guy you mentioned also would say stuff like “what type of mother are you? Your prostituting while your baby is with your mother. Apologize to your baby. For being a whore.” Then he made her say it. “I’m sorry for being a whore.” If you look up that guys tapes on UA-cam, the audio is on UA-cam.
The modus operendi of the fictional killer is kind of the same as David Parker Ray, the toy box killer. Parker didn't film but he torture horrificly his victimes
@@Gudule3000 yeah but if you see the guy that we’re talking about, you’ll see the Poughkeepsie Tapes were definitely based off him. Almost same exact thing. Only Poughkeepsie Tapes killer was dramatized (killed hundreds of people, thousands of hours of footage, killed children, families, women). Real guy targeted prostitutes only
But yeah it’s all same motive. Having a slave and psychological torture and making person submit to you. Real disturbing shit.
It’s real insane to think someone really went though this. Like to us, it’s just a transcript or audio recording or a movie. These people really were bound and put through psychological, sexual and physical torture. And someone got off on doing that. Real scary
The scariest aspect of this movie is that this reflects what actually occurs in the real world.
So he is still alive? Crazy how this can happen to anyone, literally. Without any care or doubt. Makes me not wanna leave out my house.
Well, now is a good time to not leave the house in any case :D
You know this is not real don't you. It's just a horror movie. Nothing real about it. It's easy to google and find that out.
Tammy Center not me thinking that if i say something to you that you going to find my location and you are the killer im sorry I just watch the film and you don’t know if it’s real or not
@@HAYA-gm1md , yes I do know because the people who made the movie have stated that it isn't real. Like I said, you can Google it.
@@tammycenter8757 .. I like your style !! Give him hell !!
One of the few actually psychologically disturbing horror movies I've seen. In particular the girl that gets rescued and later commits suicide because she's become so conditioned to the torture that she can't live without it. 😱😢
i watched like 5 min of this and after that i said nope not even this
Smart man
god, this sounds so amazingly brilliant from what you've shown, and that bad acting really comes across the way a lot of cops and analysts do in these mini interview segments in other real life 'unsolved mystery' type documentaries and such.
That’s probably what the Dowdles were going for. Check out the full film, I’m sure you’ll dig it.
God*
You pointing out the craft is honestly giving me a feeling of relief that I didn't realize I needed. Thanks man.
I caught my husband walking on all fours into the bedroom, I caught him off guard. Wait...

Hold up something wrong I can feel it
Oh-

IK SAME W MINE AND MY FAMILY WAS NEXT TO ME
Great break down of the film. I agree that it was mostly effective but brought down by the silly interviews. The VHS parts were well done and disturbing though. The theory I've came across is that the killer is the one who filmed the documentary, which would also explain why Cheryl acted the way she did during her interview at the end.
I've literally never heard of this shit
Some nightmares are better not seen.
there were so many out of context clips of this movie. I'm so glad this is fake. every time I watched the clips I always thought ide rather be there because I can't stand to see another person suffer
It's not real?
@@knightrider1545 yeah its a part of a fake movie. Not real :P
i have a pretty thick skin for horror, but this one just really got me. it stays with you, long after you try to evict it from your brain.
I would definitely recommend NOT watching this while stoned. Makes this film SO intense!
Thanks for the head's up ;)
i watched it drunk af and high af 😅
i watched it off a tab holy shit 😂
@@lordofflies2596 haha that must have been intense my guy
I watched it stoned :)
Me tired and about to go to sleep
Also me *let’s watch the Poughkeepsie tapes*
Thanks for talking about the sense of humor. There was definitely a satirical element and no one talks about that. Regardless of if you think it hit the mark or missed it, I find this a really interesting and unique horror movie with some really freaky scenes
I get the scene where he's on all fours is supposed to be scary but I can't take it seriously-
"ima comin to getcha'. Better watch out im the twisted cycle path of the forest."
When I was little I starred in a potty-training instructional video series for toddlers-
It was called the Poopoopeepee Tapes
I remember seeing the trailer for this film when I went to see "The Mist", and I was very excited to see that it would be coming out in a few months. Got to February, started looking for listings of it to show up in theatres, and got confused when it got to March and I hadn't heard anything about it. As the months went by, I started wondering if it had just missed coming to the Midwest, or if I'd imagined the whole thing. Finally, I forgot all about it until I saw an article about it online somewhere and was like, "Ah, it never got a theatrical release! I'm not crazy after all!"
Managed to see it in 2014 after its video-on-demand release, and was not disappointed. It was spectacularly creepy, and everyone not in the interview portions gives sterling performances all around. The fact it ends on such a bleak and depressing note made it that much better, in my opinion. I got a copy as soon as Scream Factory released it.
Excellent run-down and review! So glad I stumbled across your channel! :)
I just watched this and every time someone moves around the house I flinch
When I was in middle school, my older sister was taking forensic science at the time and since I was interested in it she would teach me some facts that she would learn. Sometimes she would also show my videos that she would see in class. One day while making dinner, she showed me The Poughkeepsie Tapes, mainly as a joke, but she never told me it wasn’t a real documentary. I watched the whole things thinking it was an actually murderer documentary... even though now I know it’s fake, it still traumatized me. I think the parts I specifically remember are the little girl being killed and the whole torture process. Looking back on it now, it’s probably hilarious that I actually believed my sister that this was a real documentary, and ever since watching this when I was younger I haven’t found any horror films that truly scare me. I guess watching this as my ‘unknowingly’ first ever horror had kinda, set the bar for me.
Haha, a great anecdote! The things our older siblings do... Good luck on your quest to find something to horrify you now. Hopefully we can find something through The Cult House. Have you seen BLACK CHRISTMAS? I think that film is genuinely creepy.
Angel, that's a dick move on your siblings part. Totally.
I think what makes this and other found footage like tapes so disturbing and leaves a huge impact on anyone that watches is how real it could, and sadly is, be. Its nothing like a slasher or paranormal film, this happens in real life
One of my classmates showed us this movie on a school trip in my senior year and now it lives in my head rent free
I was with my parents and suddenly the girl just moaned like wtfff but okay
So a pleasurable moan is more troublesome than murder, rape and dismemberment?
When u think about it, its much scarier when a girl moans infront of our parents than a murder
IKRR😭
Earphones... use them 😂
@@cineflect 100% yes when with parents lmao
your little comments and humor and editing overall made me not get creeped out 😂 thank you lol!
The Poughkeepsie Tapes creeped me out so much when I first watched it. Probably no.1 in the list of movies that creeped me out.
this movie left me feeling empty and disgusting at the end, so you know its good lol
One thing that was said about the Killer during the various mock interviews that really interested was when one of the FBI agents said that the killer was so organized and good at what he did that he was able to make the police build countless profiles thinking that he was a bunch of different killers, but in reality, just staged it to make it seem that way.
I heard about this years ago but was told people were unsure if it was real or fictional. 😌😅 This has just made me want to watch it all the more. It genuinely looks good.
I've seen this film multiple times and thought it was great. The found footage gimmick made it less believable for me, and because of that, I don't think it's as disturbing as people say. Regardless, it's still a good film that is worth watching, even if it's just to say you've seen it. Great plot breakdown!
I'm not gonna lie. Seeing him crawl with the mask had me busting out laughing just because it reminded me of "EJ COME. WATER."
LOL I CAN HEAR IT😂😂
This is BY FAR the scariest movie iv watched. Had me scared in the back of my mind for a week. Watched it about 6 years ago.
Please go watch The Last Broadcast; Megan Is Missing must be lonely on the bottom shelf.
Haha, I'll add it to the list.
@@cineflect Thanks! 😳
“Yea blame it on the tapes Simon” I died laughing 🤣🤣🤣
i thought it had a LOT of great elements but over all i just wanted more. it felt kinda all over the place and didn't commit to the ironic aspect enough.
So glad you covered this , this has been one of my favs for years. I think it will forever stay in the minds as a cult in the horror community.
It’s a very rare case of something becoming a cult film before it even releases. I’m covering another film of that nature soon (hint, hint). I agree, this one is not going away ever.
So I'm guessing the woman at the end when he said you can live if you don't blink didn't think just to shut her eyes and not open them🤷
