Found Footage Movies Like The Poughkeepsie Tapes

14 hand-picked films

The Poughkeepsie Tapes is presented as a true-crime documentary built around a killer's own videotapes, with interviews with detectives and profilers. Its flat, factual style is what stays with people.

These films give you more fake documentaries about killers and recovered tapes, told with the same cold realism. Like the film itself, many of them are very hard to watch.
