The Poughkeepsie Tapes (2007)
⭐️ .5
121 minutes of violence against women and girls. And this is coming from a true crime fan. I have watched many a Homicide Hunter and People Magazine Investigates, both of which are way better than this ficticious quasi-found footage doc.
In a way, I can see where they were trying to go with this killer. The ways he was always a few steps ahead made for a smart antagonist. However, many of his victims frustrated me. Why put be alone at night when a killer is on the loose? Why pick up a hitchhiker? Why get into a stranger’s vehicle? It may have been the late 90s, but people weren’t stupid.
Anyways, I’ve yet to find a really spectacular found footage film that turns my crank. I thought this psuedo-documentary would do it, but the search continues.
Watch this if:
you are looking to mix up your true crime stint
your brain will make this scarier by filling in the gaps
found footage is your favourite horror sub-genre
Similar titles:
Don’t watch a similar title, watch something better (the true crime ones are very respectful in their retellings)
Joe Kenda: Homicide Hunter (2011-2020) (Joe is retelling about his time on the force in Colorado Springs)
People Magazine Investigates (2016-present) (often unsolved cases, US-based crimes and serial killers)
Murdoch Mysteries (2008-present) (for people that like crime dramas, but the hook for this series is that its set in 1900s Toronto)

Teach Me The Way -- Ron Harper
In a time of trouble, the psalmist wrote, “Let me hear Your lovingkindness in the morning; for I trust in You; Teach me the way in which I should walk; For to You I lift up my soul” (Ps. 143:8). Regardless of any situation in which we may find ourselves, that ought to be our prayer.
Psalm 143 is thought by some to be the last of seven “penitential psalms.” Those include Psalms 6, 32, 38, 51, 102,…
