Later, Sindy and Caitlin find their way to Jerry's apartment, where Sindy is revealed to be some sort of demon that saved Caitlin from the archangel Raphael. Honestly, there is bad, and then there's bad. |, July 12, 2017 But, of course, there's more to be told and the story starts at this party, where Amanda, Ryan (her best friend) and two other close friends, prevent these molesters from raping Amanda after they give her a roofie. As much as genres dissipate and reemerge, we should never truly be surprised when a long-thought defunct one drops back on the scene. And, even then, it's more boring than it is bad, but I still wouldn't come close to recommending this. This segment is the film’s main focus with it being dished out throughout in chunks with the other segments playing in between, sort of like intermissions. The experiment is basically to capture this on camera to prove their existence. |, April 17, 2017 I was anticipating the release of this movie from the beginning of 2017. The neck thing was good. 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 only saving grace about this film was the SFX. It's still 'better' than every other short here, but, as I said earlier, that's not really saying much. But, if there's one that I could say I disliked the least, it MIGHT be this one. Like every song sounded the same. and the Terms and Policies, The synopsis promised a lot so I was looking forward to this one, but from the first few frames it was a total disappointment. I don't think any of the segments themselves (since this is also an anthology horror film), at least in my opinion, could be called good. I initially got fooled by the good ratings of this despite me being suspicious, and my god, it's possibly one of the worst horrors I've ever seen. For those of you out there who, unnecessarily and unjustly, hate the genre, this might be a blessing. Found-footage, by most accounts, is a novelty that has run its course. The "found footage" genre usually produces garbage instead of films. However, the sub-genre that I do love in my horror films is when they go down the anthology route, allowing film-makers to tell a variety of different stories, perhaps using different styles and just generally allowing for a greater degree of creativity and variety. We’ve Got Passes To ‘Bloodshot’ Starring Vin Diesel! The Dark Tapes is a quality example of the “found footage” film working but is unfortunately being dumped into a crowded field of lesser “first person p.o.v.” fare. It's the weakest segment in a film full of them. 'THE DARK TAPES': Three and a Half Stars (Out of Five). With the exception of Amanda's Revenge, I think that, at the very least, the remaining three segments had the potential to be really cool and interesting. Made with love by Prasant Pallikandi in New Bedford, USA. Cinemark This is easily the best part of the entire movie, because the gore itself is tremendous. The acting wasn't there. The Dark Tapes screener originally reviewed by Found Footage Critic during June 2016 was a pre-release version of the film that was still in production, with outstanding color correction and sound and visual effects that need to be completed. The percentage of Approved Tomatometer Critics who have given this movie a positive review. She wants to have fun, drink, sex, etc, etc, etc. Please click the link below to receive your verification email. It just so happened that the execution of these shorts left a lot to be desired in all cases. I liked the twist itself, because it ends up playing a critique of ghost hunter shows where, wherever they go, they go under the assumption that what they're dealing with is of the paranormal variety. I rarely give a movie such a low rating, but this one deserves it. For the most part, this segment plays like a short remake of the Paranormal Activity films featuring the standard happy couple whose evenings are distrusted by loud banging (that doesn’t involve them), slamming doors and flying cutlery. Despite its extended runtime though, this story is a tad too limited to warrant multiple parts, with the first largely to set up the premise of the story, before cutting to the next segment, while much of the rest of it is people screaming in the dark while being menaced by men in monster outfits that sound oddly like Kylo Ren, or talking about how they can’t just leave the room because of time dilatations. David and Karen move into a new house and, at first, everything seems perfect. The next morning after the party, Amanda acts strangely, before telling everyone not to touch her and leaving. As far as found footage horror goes I found this to be an alright movie. Aaron B. Peterson Budget was apparently $65k, but to be honest, it looked like it was $65,terrible acting, poor script. There's very little in the way of interesting horror and a compelling story. 1.6M 659K 453K 720K Just below that it reads "Ticket Confirmation#:" followed by a 10-digit number. I can't say that this is bad. However, after taping 2 rows around my bedroom ceiling fan remote, I find that by night 2 it barely glows in the dark. To Catch A Demon: This is a weird segment because this, essentially, acts as the wrap-around, which connects all the shorts together. | Rating: 3/5 Music to text your ex to while you're locked down in the house with your woes. Just confirm how you got your ticket. After this happens, Amanda starts acting strangely, as if being controlled by someone else. Anthology horror too, so it's a double whammy. The Dark Tapes offers a worthy return to found-footage films. You can still tell a compelling story, even in a truncated format and this just didn't deliver that. Don’t worry, it won’t take long. I'm not gonna say it's a curse, because I've seen plenty of less than stellar movies in this genre, but I've also seen my fair share of quality movies. I can honestly say that I have never seen an anthology horror movie that I like, and I can add this movie to that list. The Dark Tapes has a clever way of connecting each of the four stories together and each one shines a unique light on a specific genre within the horror universe. The Dark Tapes is competently shot in a manner that establishes the visual language of the ‘first person p.o.v.’ film while not being overly hurky jerky or being distractingly shaky. Amanda's Revenge: You know how the saying goes 'save the best for last'? They mess with everything regarding electricity and modern technology. and the Terms and Policies, Usual done-to- death found footage tedium - why do they still make this kind of rubbish? Your enjoyment of this will be entirely based on whether or not you thought the twist made the other 20 or so minutes of the rest of this bore it. 2’ • Various Artists (review), Robyn Hitchcock (concert review, The Largo in Los Angeles 12/13/19), A Return To Carvershire: A Visit to King Richard’s Faire, Back To School Review: BenQ e-Reading LED Desk Lamp, A Look Back At The Top-Rated Smartphones of 2017, More on ‘Blade Runner 2049’ and Why Bad 3D is Still Ruining Moviegoing, VIZIO Smartcast Wireless Sound Bar System (review), ‘Stuntwomen: The Untold Hollywood Story’ (review), ‘Money Heist: Seasons One and Two’ (review), ‘Star Trek: Lower Decks S1E3: The Temporal Edict’ (review), ‘Star Trek: Lower Decks S1E2: Envoys’ (review), Bidding Adieu, My 7 Year Gaming Retrospective, ‘Prominence Poker’ Game review for Xbox One, ‘Star Wars: Battlefront II’: I Have a Bad Feeling About This.
