The McPherson Tape

The McPherson Tape

Directed by Dean Alioto

A decade before THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT redefined the horror landscape, there was THE MCPHERSON TAPE. On October 8th, 1983, the McPherson family gathered together to celebrate the 5th birthday of Michelle, the littlest member of their household. Everything was captured on VHS by Michael McPherson and his new camcorder. Including the alien invasion.

October 8th, 1983. Michelle McPherson’s 5th birthday. Everything was captured on VHS… including the alien invasion.

All Bad! Bad acting, Bad writing, Bad effects, just bad. Sorry

Was eerie enough, decent sense of ambiguity. Main Character Michael was quite annoying and in the end the payoff wasn't all that good. The home video aesthetic was quite genuine, but nothing to write home about.

The most annoying family ever, stuck in a plot not going anywhere. Don't waste your time.
