    Only horror movie that ever made me just straight up nope out 10 minutes in is “The Poughkeepsie Tapes” I watch horror for spooks and thrills and the occasional existential dread. That shit was just too real and too close to home. Its not a horror movie you will enjoy watching. It is one that will make you feel genuinely discomforted and sick in the stomach.

      Yeah I had to detox after this one. I recognised a couple of the actors, so that helped remind me it was fake, but otherwise it was too close to real serial killer cases for my taste.

      Lake Mungo is still my go-to mockumentary horror. I prefer the slow build & spookiness.
