The Phoenix Tapes '97

The Phoenix Tapes '97 (2016) is a found-footage horror thriller — watch online on iFILM. Director Turner Clay assembled the film from footage presented as the final recordings of four campers who vanished during the real Phoenix Lights incident of March 1997, their bodies never recovered.

The tapes, the story goes, surfaced years later when one camper's father found them among his son's belongings — after the son was shot dead at a traffic stop in Texas under murky circumstances. What actually happened out in the Arizona desert that night is exactly what the footage refuses to resolve. Bare-bones mockumentary filmmaking aimed squarely at found-footage fans and UFO conspiracy enthusiasts.
