More found footage horror for you here, this one being a British-born freakout called THE TAPES. (No, not THE POUGHKEEPSIE TAPES, sorry.) It looks like your standard issue faux-documentary/POV nightmare, although people wearing pig heads will always creep me out, so it gets points there. I also dig the simple, eerie tagline: See what they saw.

In 2008 several tapes were recovered at the scene of a horrific crime. Shot by three youngsters involved and with the permission of their parents, the tapes are now being released as a warning to society.
