Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Tape 407: The Mesa Experiment is a 2012 found-footage horror film. It's also known as Area 407 in the United States.The film opens with two teenagers flying from New York to Los Angeles on New Year's Eve. Their nightmare begins when their plane hits extreme turbulence mid-flight. The relentless weather attack causes panic and terror amongst the passengers until the plane ultimately crashes in a remote government testing area. The handful of survivors from the crash, bloody and disoriented, are then insistently pursued in the darkness by unknown predators that are part of the government's top-secret Mesa Experiment.A sequel, Area 407: Part II is in production. On top of dinosaurs, the film will also feature zombified soldiers. From what is seen in the trailer, it will not be another Found Footage film.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Bioweapon Beast: It's not so much unsubtly implied as it is dangled in front of the audience dancing can-can while juggling chainsaws that the reason there is a bunch of rampaging velociraptors in the middle of the American Southwest desert is because a Government Conspiracy bred them to be used in this fashion.

Camera Abuse / Ominous Visual Glitch: As the film progresses, the video has more static and glitchy display problems, moreso when the creatures are around. Oddly enough, the glitches are more in common with a film camera than with a digital one.

Deliberate VHS Quality: Implied with the way the rampaging monsters create a visual glitch when they are nearby. The main problem is that the two cameras supposedly capturing all of the film's footage are shown to be digital, and so would be showing a very different kind of glitching in those circumstances.
