The Dark Tapes

This movie is not made with great passon or heart. It is very clear the there was script problems from day one. I was hoping for a film equal to V/H/S but this The Dark Taps is just rubbish.

Not only is the acting stiff and really bad at times, you can alos find terrible errors. For example can you see a reflexion of the dictator in the tv at the end of the first story.

Stay clear of this movie.

I once read that if you give a typewriter infinite time to a monkey, such monkey will eventually type Hamlet, for instance.

In the case of "Dark Tape", somebody gave a bunch untalented people some filming equipment and not enough time... The result is "Dark Tapes".

I love anthology films, especially when they are of the horror variety, but this one was just a complete failure from beginning to end. The acting was atrocious for most of the segments, the script was inane and poorly realized, and the way the film was edited was so amateurish, I wonder if the director hired one of his kids to do it. The only saving grace about this film was the SFX. Some of the creatures really did look frightening, and had the film focused more on them, it wouldn't have been so bad. Instead, we got a lot of crappy acting, a lot of simplified dialogue, and some horrendous pacing. Not a quality film in the slightest, anyone would do themselves a favor and avoid this travesty and never speak of it again.

The Dark Tapes is a four story horror anthology. I'm a big fan of horror anthologies and the stories in this one are all original and had surprise endings that I didn't see coming. There are a lot of found footage films out there, but The Dark Tapes felt fresh and was the most unique found footage film I've seen in a long time. The stories are well written and entertaining and I think this film proves that you don't have to have a big budget to make a good movie. There are some genuinely creepy moments and not a whole lot of blood and gore,so I would think this film would appeal to a wider audience than some of your "typical" horror films. This movie is anything but typical. If you like horror and want to see found footage presented in a new way, definitely check out this anthology. It's a lot of fun.

This was jumping from one film to another too much for my liking. Do not get me wrong......it was rather average.

The stories were bland n not much thought had gone into them. They are wanna be copies of other found footage films. There are 4 stories in all n all were pretty much lacking in strength acting n character build up.

There was no tension suspense or charisma n either of the short films.

The endings were varied but of a similar nature.

I gave 4 stars .....one for each.

I recommend only if you like found footage, otherwise it's not worth a watch.
