(HORROR) The Tapes - 2011 **




2013 Didn't begin well with the latest in the 'lost footage' movies I have seen. For one thing, the characters were so awfully unlikeable that you begin to have some empathy with the 'baddies' quite early in. Gemma, a harsh and remarkably trashy teenager with a gormless and frankly moronic boyfriend Danny go with their college friend to shoot Gemma's Big Brother audition tape (how original and non-tacky...) but instead stumble upon what they think is the location of a swingers group near the local pub. Abandoning the audition tape, they decide to try and film the party in full flow and then sell copies of the footage for some cash. They then realise the 'innocent' swingers party is actually a sadistic devil worshiping cult that they are right in the middle of. Oh dear. Maybe the reason none of these films impress me is because they are not in the least bit new and original. They are simply the same idea told in a slightly different way time after time.
