The Poughkeepsie Tapes | EXPLAINED + PLOT BREAKDOWN

I believe the film-maker/interviewer IS the Water Street Butcher. Theres not many parts where the man who interviews Cheryl speaks, but when he does, he sounds like The Butcher.

In this interview Cheryl says that he will come back for her. Little does she know, he already has and is sitting right across from her. Remember: she never saw his face.

Its at this time the interviewer starts to slowly zoom and pitch the camera in on Cheryl's face in a similar way the Butcher would in his tapes.

Garbage!!! Honestly looks boring!!!

It gives off the creepy and scary vibe because the wound and all the scenes look realistic and it felt like u feel slightly abit in ur bone

Kinda weird that you were hoping this movie was MORE disturbing…

Is this based on the toybox killer?

Bro they whitewashed the real life killer

I’m confused… did I just miss parts of the movie or did tubi remove parts? I don’t remember the dismemberment scene

nobody has ever taken my recommendation, it's simple... Calviare, by fabrice du welz

I need a therapist now after watching us….

Movie wasnt even that good 😂😂😂 it was alright

Dismemberment expert - imagine the interview.

it was fantastic

This movie was almost unwatchable not because it was too intense but because it was so bad. Me and my wife watched the whole thing just so we could make fun of it.

Actually, this is my first video of yours. Which is weird since it seems you make content i really like lol. consider me a new fan :)

I ran away to poughkeepsie when I was a kid from CT, my friends thought this movie was real and were freakin out

The scary thing isn't the contents of the movie but rather there's some gross people out there in real life that are like this

stop the flashbacks i got when i saw the barrel

It was delayed cause the elites dont want you to understand what they already do to the lower classes 😅

Some of UrbanSpook type shit 💀

The acting is the most horrific film in this film.

My personal opinion is that the murderer in universe is the person making the documentary as a sick way to rub it in

you wouldn't think a big fat black guy named François would be like that, guy like that seems more like a closeted gay guy, or a guy that'd work at food truck and would flirt with your dad awkwardly as you try and order your meatball sub as fast as possible.....or a gay guy

These movies are porn for people who fantasize about such things. I’ve always found it curious that no really thinks about a loved one being treated so brutally.

This wasn't an easy movie to watch. Comparison being The Human Centipede 2. I'd rather watch that one over this one

This is what longlegs should've have been, i really thought it was gonna go this route but it mainly focused on the fbi lady story instead longlegs back story

The movie was boring tbh

Who thinks faces of death is real?

I thought it was a decent movie. I’ve only seen it like 10 times now 😂

It’s kinda cool in a sense that it’s based kind of around my area. I’m just outside of Albany NY, so it’s fairly close to home for me.


On top of that, I really like movies that can actually creep you out good without jump scares. So this movie hit the nail on the head there.

I got a kick out of a lot of the dialog. For example when the coo was saying the intestines were strewn around like Christmas lights. Crossing a happy time of the year with something morbid is my kind of humor.


I’d probably give it 3.5-4 vhs tapes out of 5.

IM SORRY BUT HIM CRAWLING ON ALL FOURS IS SO UNSERIOUS 😭😭😭

At its core though, this is really a love story.

Is this based on a true serial killer???

Does anyone know of a movie like this that featured a creepy clown in between the vignettes?

So sad that the reality of serial killers is you can do everything right in life and still die unfairly. All it takes is for them to see you and youre already dead before you know it

Blink twice with Channing Tatum, please ❤

I thought this movie was awesome when I saw it

Cringe. So been done before

I thought it would be more gore like the terrifier. Honestly this movie didn't disturb me at all. I'm like.. Eh. Just another serial killer if you ask me. If anything it showed how incompetent the detectives were. Esp executing a former cop for the crimes. Semen DNA evidence would've caught him like the Golden State killer eventually.

Is this based on a true story?

Mockumentaries tend to lose my interest after a few minutes. For this one I stayed the course because of its semi-cult status, and realized that it's the same guy that did As Above, So Below. Which is a film I really enjoyed. Poughkeepsie at least had some random moments of morbid humor. But other than that it was fairly dull. I really enjoyed As Above, So Below a lot more than this one. It felt more refined and flows better. However, Poughkeepsie Tapes has a lot of elements to it that you wouldn't find in a lower quality horror film. It seems like the guys who made this have been doing TV series. Hopefully they do another one-off horror movie again.

I honestly couldn't take this movie seriously from the get-go. The way the police talked about the murderer made me think of a 14 year old's edgy self insert OC. I would honestly not be surprised if the Jeff the Killer Creepypasta it was written by the same person.

another victim of the punisher

There is a great theory that I honestly believe the killer is the director the missing tapes is what you see in the movie and that’s why Cheryl was acting like that during the interview

I thought it was boring

This stuff is why I get defensive when any grown man speaks to me in public 💀

And no one ever notices that he’s holding a VHS camcorder? Those things were massive.

Take that marvel😂

after watching this movie i feel like every other genre of horror just cant get to me, this was genuinely the most disturbing piece of "made up" media ive ever interacted with

Why the hell am I watching this at night?
