The McPherson Tape (1989 Video)
7/10
Has issues (duh) but worth a viewing
24 May 2021
Ten years before BW three years before The Last Broadcast this was made and while it has a couple of big issues it's entertaining and not because it's unintentionally funny. Horrible lighting, very raw acting and a time after the spaceship and aliens are seen and an initial bit of reasonable hysterics for a chunk of time it's like what they saw is forgotten. And during said hysterics the lead actor does a much to long impression of an obscene phone call fitting incredibly heavy breathing in between lines. It's absolutelyi not a waste of time and considering this was long before every horror movie was filmed using the shakey cam it deserves point for being ahead of it's time. I heard about this movie for years and when social media began to rule the world more and more people were talking about it, it then popped up on YouTube and it's now on many streaming sites and it's built a nice pool of fans. The moment I heard about the ability to remaster films and TV shows this movie popped in to my mind but I'm not sure if doing that with this to add some light so you can see things better I thought maybe it's better this way because the movie had a budget of like $16 a clearer view of both the spacecraft and the alien might not be the best thing. Despite its goofy everything it's really a nice little movie and if you can restrain your inner movie critic you can enjoy this quiet a bit.
