Trivia
Before the movie's official release, the film maker and producers attempted a "whisper campaign". Doing such things as leaving several VHS copies lying around a VHS convention in Pennsylvania, and throwing copies out of car windows while driving around Baltimore, in hopes of sparking conversation about the film.

Wasted Opportunity!!! Such Potential!!

This could've and should've been terrific. The filmmakers totally nail the look and feel of cheap, local 80's TV and waste it on a poorly acted and terribly crafted found-footage horror story that doesn't work in any way, start to finish.

There are moments when I truly thought I was watching an old VHS tape which makes it all the more sad that nothing besides the commercials are very well thought out. The story is truly lame as are the actors. Some so over the top you wouldn't be wrong thinking you'd stumbled into a high school play. That said, if these guys were given another venue, Adult Swim comes to mind, and some decent performers, this stuff could be damn entertaining.

Drop the Poughkeepsie Tapes angle and you've got the second coming of SCTV here.
