The Tapes (2011)
The Tapes is a British shaky cam film about Satanic swingers. What more can you ask for? Unfortunately you can ask for a better film than this. It should have come with a health warning advising you not to drive or operate machinery after watching, it was so boring.
The film about three friends who decide to make an audition tape for aspiring Big Brother wannabe Gemma, and whilst doing so hear of a remote farm where swingers parties are held. Deciding this would make a better movie than Gemma's audition reels they set off to find the out of the way dwellings. Once there, they discover that the farm is home to a coven of Satanists, and they might just become the next sacrificial lambs.
The film isn't badly acted at all. Natasha Sparkes playing Gemma does a credible job but the film just collapses around her once they make the horrific discovery. Nothing at all happens of interest throughout. The Satanists don't appear until the last twenty minutes and when they do, any action or horror is off camera making the whole thing redundant and a pointless viewing experience.
