The Poughkeepsie Tapes
So disturbing MGM shelved it for a decade. The crawling scene is unwatchable.
John Erick Dowdle's 2007 film was so disturbing that MGM shelved it for nearly a decade. Presented as a documentary about 800 videotapes found in a serial killer's home, it intercuts police interviews with the killer's own footage of his crimes. The crawling scene — where the killer approaches a victim on all fours while wearing a disturbing mask — is frequently cited as the most upsetting image in found footage. It's not fun horror. It's the horror that makes you question why horror exists.
