Blu-ray/DVD Review: “THE POUGHKEEPSIE TAPES” don’t quite reveal enough
In the pair of featurettes accompanying THE POUGHKEEPSIE TAPES on its very-long-in-coming Blu-ray release (from Shout! Factory under its Scream Factory banner), writer/director John Erick Dowdle, producer Drew Dowdle and actress Stacy Chbosky observe that the movie’s cancelled theatrical release, originally a source of frustration, might have been a blessing in disguise. That fate amped up curiosity about the movie, making it something to be sought out and discovered. Now it has finally emerged, and like the titular unearthed VHS cassettes, it’s a creepy yet frustrating experience.
