- Synopsis:
- 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 (Laura Tomas), the littlest member of their household. Everything was captured on VHS by Michael McPherson and his new camcorder, including the alien invasion. Shot for $6000 by first-time filmmaker Dean Alioto in 1989, this movie blends the production design of a Jaycees haunted house with a dead serious tone to forge a fun, hypnotic nightmare that upends the concept of reality.
