The Poughkeepsie Tapes is a faux semidocumentary horror film directed by John Erick Dowdle.
[edit]Plot
A serial killer obsessively documents his career in carnage in this pseudo-documentary thriller. When police raid a house in upstate New York, they discover a profoundly disturbing record of one man's ugly crimes. Investigators find over 2,400 hours of videotape shot by the killer which present a visual record of his murders in all their horrifying details. Both state and federal law enforcement teams sift through the gruesome images, looking for clues of the slayer's identity, the identity of his victims, and where he could possibly have gone. But repeated viewings of the material reveals little beyond the terrible facts of the crimes, and as the authorities comb through the madman's images, they find the tapes have had a disquieting effect on them.
The movie has some similarities to Poughkeepsie serial killer Kendall Francois, who murdered women but did not film their deaths.

movie is wack already. Said it is based on true story but true story is kendall francois never video taped any of his killings. so how is this a true story. also kendall francois was a big mother fer and would not be able to walk on his hands like in that lame video
It sounds like the same situation with the Texas Chainsaw Massacre stories....The movie and the dude it was based on were sooo far apart in howthe story was depictedOriginally Posted by dunkairs
