The McPherson Tape (1989)

this film is a bout a family who supposedly got abducted by aliens. I've looked around on the internet and people said its actors in it! IT IS ACTORS BUT ITS A FILM BASED ON THE ACTUALL TAPE!!!! The people who were in the tape (the tape that was found in the mcpherson house) are all missing.SO HA!Great Film XDDuring the film it stops and people who know all about aliens talk about the tape. The director even speaks half way through the film to say the film gives him the creeps. He dosn't think its a hoax. I don't know if its real or a hoax, but its pretty convincing.

I have often wondered if there is more to this story than meets the eye. It appears as fake, and maybe so it is. However,there are elements of truth wrapped up in a supposed work of fiction.I believe it to be based on fact. Every time I see it; I see something that I didn't catch before. Don't get me wrong; Hollywood and other studios do great magic with the paranormal; but I also know that truth can be painted as fiction to reduce hysteria.Having been an experiencer from the age of four and had my own encounters with the greys in the 80's; I felt the hair on my neck stand up on end watching this film. There was a sense of familiarity that I don't find in other works of fiction relating to the greys.The memories of that night of when they came for me flashed back in this film. I have watched films like 'Signs', and others of the genre, but none really touches base like this one.

I was bored one day because there was nothing on, when i came across The McPherson tape. I pressed i to see wot it was about, it didnt read to well. I thought "what the hell" and watched it anyway. That was going to be the best decision i ever made. The movie is basically about an American family coming together for thanksgiving. A lad around 17 decided he would get the special occasion on video tape. Whenever the aliens are close to the family the camera that was used went fuzzy, this was a good thing because you then new the aliens were close. They had a warped little girl who will, if you see the movie, shock and annoy you. The movie works your mind and will really freak you out. I'm not easy to scare but this had me on the edge of my seat!! a deffinate 10/10.

Now I know where the producers of (IMHO the vastly inferior) Blair Witch Project could have got the idea of a domestic video film from. This was one hell of an intense fly on the wall movie. Many of the scenes comprised of one long take. Spoilt only by the fact I recognised a few of the actors and some had obviously had drama training. Despite these I gave this film a 10. Very few films can hold my attention at the edge of my seat like this one.
