Evidence (2013)

Very disappointing...

That was an excellent one.

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

There are a lot of moments in this movie where what the characters do doesn't make any sense and how they end up in their situation is kind of random as hell as well. But the ending of this movie in my opinion cleverly explains how and why everything happens.This movie is a "who done it" mixed with the style of classic slasher movies. At moments it does seem like you're just waiting for the next person to die so you can get on with the investigation, but the movie does have some decent moments of suspense and tension.If you like found footage movies and enjoy some mystery with your horror go ahead and give this a watch.

Just watched a found footage film and was surprised by the depth of story, it's not perfect, the middle makes you wonder if it's going to just be silly, but stick with it, it's real good for horror fans I think, decent anyway... called EVIDENCE... stars a few guys from the show "LOST" It only has a 5.2 on IMDb, but I'd say it's worth a 6.5 or 7.Check it out, if you're curious what other found footage films I enjoy for some baseline: Grave Encounters, Hexen, Blair Witch 1 and 2, come to mind.Thanks for reading!

Still shot. 3D rotation. Smoke. A crime scene. Then a video camera being placed in a plastic bag marked "evidence". And you know: it's going to be one of those god damned hand-held camera movies. But you are a nice person and you hope, still, that there have to be good shaky cam films. You are, sadly, terribly so, wrong.I really like Radha Mitchell, I mean, who doesn't, but she is past her prime - time to play in those motherly roles in bad haunted house movies. Stephen Moyer, having won an undeserved fame with True Blood, plays an unnecessarily troubled police/video specialist. None of these two roles is going to give you any satisfaction in what is supposed to be a twist laden thriller.The story, which I make my best effort not to spoil - I don't know why, is basically a chaotic investigation based on a single videotape. Then there is the twist, one that you have expected the entire movie, because it can't be that easy. And it's not, and it's a stupid twist, and you will swear the day you decided to watch this film, even on fast forward.So, if there would have been true empathy with the characters - after all they did make the effort of filling the first third of the film with motivational video on how needy were the girls and how much they wanted to enter showbiz, if there would have been any interest in the police procedure - which unfortunately only concerned media statements and video processing, if the entire story didn't reek of "wait for it! the grand finale!", well... it still would have been a crappy film. As such, it is worst than boring and less than funny.Bottom line: I do this so you shouldn't have to. Respect my sacrifice and avoid this film.

What a start this film has. A frozen picture of a crime scene, taken by a low flying drone camera, like nothing I've seen. A bit was resembling the 2001-film Swordfish, but still this was amazing. It immediately lit my interests immensely. Some obviously CGI, but still a haunting start!This is another take on the found footage genre. But different. Some kind of meta theme in the footage as well. This is evidence found on a couple of phones and video cameras at a crime scene. At the start of the film we get a glimpse of what have happened, but what lead up to it. No one at the crime scene is alive to give any explanation. The tape shows a group of youngsters arriving at a desolated place with a lot if abandoned trucks and houses.Like most found footage, this is both annoying and exciting at the same time. A genre difficult to immediately like, but still interesting in many ways. The fourth outing from American director Olatunde Osunsanmi, and the first I've seen. Though there's a lot of cameras around, there's a lot of not so likely here towards the end, before whole film takes a twist, making it more likely after all. Smart film, with an interesting plot. A good, twisting found footage flick, most of all recommended to the fans of the genre.
