As Good As It Gets

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

I am a definite fan of the found footage genre, and I usually have a fairly high threshold for getting grossed out, but this is just plain sick schlock. I couldn't even finish watching the trailer, so that should give you an idea of what my opinion of the entire movie was like. There's no artistry or imagination in anything anymore, it's just become all about how many buttons can we push and how much fake blood can we splatter over the screen. I also took an immediate dislike to ALL of the characters just from what I saw. Look at the trailer and see for yourself, but I'm not going to waste any more time with this thing.

The movie starts out a bit scattered, but quickly dives into the most poorly written plot I've ever seen. This is supposed to be a " found footage" type film. Well, it missed the mark by a mile. The 3 stories made no sense, and related to nothing. So! You could call this this a spoiler, but there's nothing really to spoil. This movie has sleepy ghosts, aliens, and a psycho family?? I'm not sure where the director tried to go with the this movie, but I know he never made to there. The stories are scattered, special effects were decent, but not really scary at all. This movie has a run time of 80 min. Please understand, this will be 80 min of your life that will want back desperately, but to no avail, much like this movie, it's just gonna be time wasted. Do yourselves a favor and avoid this movie. If not, I really hope you enjoy it more than I did. Happy viewing.

I really did not expect to like this movie! I thought it was going to be pretty bad...but it was actually fun to watch! It has moments that would make you go "hmmm.." but everything else is pretty good. Like the other users said, if you love found footage movies, you'll enjoy this one.

The "found footage" genre usually produces garbage instead of films. "The Dark Tape" is not an exception, but below average. It seems to be a bad cinema project, with terrible story, screenplay, direction, acting, cinematography, no soundtrack; therefore nothing is worthwhile watching and spend time. Maybe school mates, family and friends have voted in IMDb to achieve such high rating. In the end, "The Dark Tapes is an overrated amateurish rubbish. My vote is one.Title (Brazil): Not Available
