Sounds like the still unreleased but really disturbing Poughkeepsie Tapes.

"Killer." It's a simple, direct and effective word that cuts straight to the point, presumably through your guts. It's also the name of a movie coming out courtesy of Hyde Park Entertainment and Parkes/MacDonald Prods., two companies that have teamed up to produce Kenny Golde's horror-minded spec script.
According to Variety, "Killer" focuses on a rogue police investigator who discovers a video left behind by the titular murderer. What follows is an intense cat-and-mouse game where the investigator is always several strides behind his intended target.
Several news outlets, including Shock Till You Drop, are reporting that the big hook of "Killer" — other than the killing, that is — is the fact that the movie is told through the point of view of the police officer as he videotapes his investigation of the crime. Eventually, the story shifts back and forth between the cop's camera and the killer's grotesque video. The intended result is to blur the line between the cop's investigation and the killer's own film, confusing not only the protagonist, but the audience as well.
Based on that premise, "Killer" sounds like it has something of a "Paranormal Activity" and "The Blair Witch Project" vibe, albeit contained within more realistic confines. Actually, scratch that — with so little known about the movie thus far, it's entirely possible that "Killer" is going to take some sort of violent supernatural turn. My hope is that it's more grounded and gritty, something akin to the aforementioned movies combined with "Se7en." That's a movie I'd pay to see.
