The Poughkeepsie Tapes

The Poughkeepsie Tapes is an American documentarystyle 2007 horror film directed by John Erick Dowdle and starring Bobbi Sue Luther, Samantha Robson and Ivar Brogger.

After the success of his first abduction and murder, the killer becomes less impulsive in his crimes. Carefully selecting the area in which he will strike next, he convinces a couple, the Andersons, that his car has broken down and they agree to give him a ride to a local gas station for aid.

Rather than killing Cheryl, he imprisons her in his basement, abusing her sexually, physically and psychologically as his slave, a name he beats her into accepting as her new one. Cheryls mother, Victoria Dempsey, appeals to her kidnapper in a televised statement. He then goes to see her, offering to
