Excellent dark horror movie. One of the better entries this decade.

The Dark Tapes is great movie and I will recommended it to everyone to watch it :) Great scenario :)

I love these movies that are based on filmmakers actors or Documentary actors. My Favorite

While THE DARK TAPES is not the best anthological horror release of the year, (a title almost ANY film can earn if it is released in this particular subgenre...usually!), it lands on firm ground, not totally shaken by some second act struggles. I am usually going to be one of the most welcoming critics of the on-going spamming we are experiencing in the found footage/shoestring budgeted copycat formulaic films we are being bombarded with BECAUSE I LOVE SEEING THAT GLIMMER OF GENIUS WHEN A NEW DIRECTOR OR WRITER DOES SOMETHING NEW -- something that might not be worth an entire extra wave of films copying that new creativity, but at least in a single installment, as an independent segment among a handful of others that undoubtedly vary in quality, there is an unmatchable feeling of discovery when your hours of screening shaky cam'd titles suddenly jolt you out of catatonia and back to the heightened alert levels and eyes panicking while they gloss over all corners of the screen in excitement mixed with dread. THE DARK TAPES, for what it's worth, does reach such a moment in the film where you really feel like all the seemingly innocuous info previously given during each segment's routine malaise before anything creepy ever happens, when you realize JUST HOW and WHY these specific tapes have been "arranged accordingly." I never ask anyone to suspend their disbelief because are adults, and there's no getting around the fact that no marketing campaign, no lack of social media hype, or any try-hard efforts to make all names and aliases of those involved in the project vanish from your google search engine as if to suggest what you saw was real, that is just too ridiculous. THE DARK TAPES doesn't beg for your disbelief as much as other shamelessly unapologetic and less successful found footage-trying-to-pass-as-actual-content-from-arrmchair-goul-hunting-sleuths such as, "The Blackwell Murders," (cringe!), and all it asks for is your patience and attention to the parts of the film BEFORE the segments predictably climax and the camera goes static, or gets knocked over, etc. 3.5/5.0 because there have been at least two other films in this year already released into the found-footage AND anthological horror format subgenre that usually doesn't get many releases, but this year had a few and wow was a certain entry just pleasantly AMAZING.

Dark Tapes is worth my time. Great !

Soooooo... Not as terrible a movie as I expected it to be during the first 10 minutes. Overall a decent watch, not purchase material but worth a rent for sure.Some of the pseudo-scientific aspects were smart and well rounded but the use of the term "flux capacitor" was really offputting right off the bat.

The biggest factor in my enjoyment of this movie is simply that it breaks with typical horror tropes. Though I was unimpressed by the special effects, the overall story was interesting and definitely held me on edge. The biggest drawback is simply that I felt the climax of the movie was not enough, it did not have a typical horror movie "pay off" moment.

Great film full of unexpected scenes and easily as good as V/H/S and it's ilk.

I really enjoyed this film. It's an anthology series and keeps a similar pace with films like other indie horror anthologies, ex. VHS, but this one offers some twists that those do not. I won't list spoilers here but I thoroughly enjoyed the segment "The Hunted and the Hunters". It definitely wasn't just another "Paranormal Activity". The dedication from the team that worked on it makes me love it even more. You can see the work invested, in the FX dept, the writing, the underlying plot of the film. It's just really, really cool. I would highly recommend it, especially to the fans of horror cult classics. This is one that I could see developing a similar cult following.

Saw this at a festival. This film is really scary. Much scarier than I expected. The first episode about the demon and the last episode about the abduction really freaked me out.

The Dark Tapes owes something to Cloverfield in style but the script here is tighter and more sinister. This is effective, mysterious, and vibey millennial horror.

McQuown is to be commended for willing to do something different with horror tropes that have become stale through constant repetition.

An exceptional and surreal horror anthology...

The Dark Tapes ends up doing more right than it does wrong ... you'll find some really cool creatures and a few truly frightening and original moments that will send more than just a chill down the old spine.

The Dark Tapes is fun, scary and consistently tense - it knows exactly what kind of film it wants to be and isn't afraid to simply roll with it.
