The Poughkeepsie Tapes - released?

[Ferox13]

Has any one heard anything about The Poughkeepsie Tapes - has it being released or shwon any where?

The Poughkeepsie Tapes is a faux semidocumentary horror film directed by John Erick Dowdle.

A serial killer obsessively documents his career in carnage in this pseudo-documentary thriller. When police raid a house in upstate New York, they discover a profoundly disturbing record of one man's ugly crimes.

A psychotic serial killer once called the house his home, and along with the implements of his grisly pastime, investigators find over 240 hours of videotape shot by the killer which present a visual record of his murders in all their horrifying details. Both state and federal law enforcement teams sift through the gruesome images, looking for clues of the slayer's identity, the identity of his victims, and where he could possibly have gone. But repeated viewings of the material reveals little beyond the terrible facts of the crimes, and as the authorities comb through the madman's images, they find the tapes have had a disquieting effect on them.

I really REALLY want to see this movie, I can't even express my excitement (it combines two of my favorite things - home invasion and "documentary"). I thought that IMDB had listed a release date of early 2008 in select theaters, though IMDB appears to be down right now, so I cannot confirm. According to Netflix, DVD release date is unknown.

Nope.

It premiered at Tribeca awhile back, but there's no word on any limited/wide release of it as yet.

Looks like it might end up as direct-to-DVD by year-end, if there are no buyers for distribution. I have a keen eye out for it.

The Kerasotes website has it on the Coming Soon list for Sept. 19...whatever that's worth.

That's so exciting, especially since Poughkeepsie is my hometown :)
