The Tapes is a 2011 horror film in the "found footage" filmmaking style. The film concerns three students who run afoul of devil worshipers.
Plot
The film concerns Danny and his girlfriend plus friends find out about a local swingers party in the area but instead find a cult who worships Satan. Contained in the film are subliminal messages that only the more discerning viewer will pick up. For instance, when Danny, Nathan and Gemma first enter the dilapidated farm, Nathan finds three tarot cards, the star, the fool and the magician. The film portrays a cult known as the brotherhood of Beelsebub, who appear at first to be rather eccentric villagers in the same vein as seen in the Wicker man.
