Directed by John Erick Dowdle, The Poughkeepsie Tapes premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2007 to polarized reactions. The film is a "mockumentary" that purports to show the home movies of a prolific serial killer who filmed his crimes in Poughkeepsie, New York.

The middle section of the string, "2007," anchors the work in time. It was a pivotal year for horror, a moment when the "torture porn" subgenre (epitomized by Hostel and Saw ) was beginning to wane, and the aesthetic of surveillance and reality television was beginning to take hold. The Poughkeepsie Tapes bridged these eras, offering the visceral cruelty of the former with the voyeuristic, low-fidelity aesthetic of the latter. The date serves as a reminder of the film’s genesis, a product of the post-9/11 era of surveillance anxiety where the idea of being watched—and watching the watcher—permeated the cultural subconscious. thepoughkeepsietapes20071080pblurayh264a
