These sorts of movies are just crap, if you gave 1000 movie cameras to 1000 monkeys you would have 1000 movies as good as this one or better.
Not too bad I guess. For some reason, I really like found footage movies, but I do have one question. Why are the detectives watching "tapes" when the footage was all shot on digital hard drive cameras? Did someone take the time to transfer all of it to VHS?
A found footage film. A somewhat original approach so for me it had some potential to be more than average if it wasn't for the atrocious acting.
I guess I'm a glutton for punishment, because I've seen just about every "found footage" horror and sci-fi movie there is.
"Levenger Tapes" spends about 40 minutes being one of the worst of the genre I've seen, and ultimately, anyone who isn't a true fan of found footage probably won't like this. I mean, it comes complete with the obligatory car-trip opening in which the characters' witty banter is supposed to introduce and endear them to us. Cliches abound in the first half, and some aspects carry through, like characters making illogical choices.
But the movie turns out to be something I didn't expect, in terms of what the 'scare factor' was. Like another reviewer said, the film description on this site gives away more than perhaps it should, yet really doesn't give away the game. There was an interesting component that was underdeveloped, but pulled the movie out of the gutter for me. I urge you to stick with this one to the end.
One scene also managed to really freak me out, involving a flashlight in a bush--you'll know it when you see it.

A horror film that held some promise but fails to deliver. The whole "found video footage"-type plot and viewpoint has been done before and done better (Cannibal Holocaust, Blair Witch Project and Cloverfield are the best examples) but initially this angle does seem intriguing. However, this doesn't really go anywhere new or interesting.
Performances aren't too bad for a B-grade horror but are hardly great.
Considering the potential, quite disappointing.
