SIMILAR PICKS / A PERSONAL CONNECTION
01
Why this pick
A faux-documentary horror that turns an observational medical film project into steadily worsening dread, using interviews and raw-looking footage to make its escalating unease feel uncomfortably plausible.
02
Why this pick
Its restrained mockumentary style, interview testimony, and examined recordings create a similarly authentic, investigative chill—less graphic, but intensely unsettling in how grief and evidence slowly reshape the story.
03
Why this pick
This assembled-footage outbreak nightmare combines official records, video fragments, and retrospective testimony. Its procedural presentation and mounting helplessness echo the clinical, evidence-driven discomfort of The Poughkeepsie Tapes.
04
Why this pick
A grim British faux-documentary assembled from family footage, it finds horror in the gradual collapse of domestic normality rather than spectacle, delivering an especially intimate and credible found-footage experience.
05
Why this pick
An early, low-budget pseudo-documentary murder investigation whose public-access texture and amateur evidence give it the same intrusive, archival quality and a persistent uncertainty about what the footage really proves.

01 / THE STORY
When police raid a house in a city north of New York, they discover a profoundly disturbing record of one man's ugly crimes. Investigators find over 800 videotapes 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 his identity, the identity of his victims, and where he could have gone. Repeated viewings of the materials reveal 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.
