Evidence

First three quarters of the film is not suited for this genre. Basically the later twists in the film is what makes this movie amazing.

Things i liked :

• Never saw it coming in the end quiet honestly. - Harry Lennix was the best acting in the film while the rest were average, nothing creative really. - Some great scenery in the beginning. - More of a thriller than horror.

Things i disliked:

• Pointless scenes - Crime investigators were quiet redundant in my opinion. - Audience would wonder what might have happened to the murder as it wasn't clear in the end.

DVD worthy, not Cinema :)

There is always something annoying with found footage movies. Still, we keep watching because we want to understand... Want to know...

Keep watching. You will. And will be surprised! "Annoyingly thrilling" could be a genre. Give it a try. You might like it in the end...

Granted, I am a fan of Found Footage movies, but I found myself consistently floored by this film...and in a good way.

"The camera never lies," claims Burquez (Radha Mitchell). Burquez and a team of detectives sit down to piece together footage shot from a multitude of camera and camera phones found at an abandoned gas station in the middle of the Mojave desert, the site of a brutal mass murder. The victims are all passengers on a tour bus bound for Vegas.

What happened?

Let's just say it's better you know absolutely nothing going into this film, except for the bare bones setup. Found Footage films can be quite painful if the lead characters are boring or, worse, annoying. In this case, I actually found Rachel and Leann (Caitlin Stasey and Torrey Devitto) to be rather interesting and fun to watch in a valley gal sort of way. They don't seem particularly smart and are altogether rather ordinary, which makes the situation they find themselves in all the more unexpected and alarming.

Olatunde Osunsanmi gives us just enough enough video footage, realistically hacked together, to keep you feeling jarred and disoriented throughout, and John Swetnam's script and story are as outrageous as it is frighteningly plausible. Never did understand why so many didn't "get" this movie and equally puzzled why almost every critic who saw it panned it.

Evidence is a combination of the Blair Witch Project, a really good slasher film, and a disturbingly immediate social commentary. It follows no template and takes a lot of risks. Which many good films have been hated for.

EVIDENCE has some nice "whodunit" qualities and keeps you guessing. There's also a hard-to-foresee twist at the end. Still, the surprises are not entirely earned, and the story just doesn't add up. Generally good acting, but nothing spectacular. The "found footage"--yep, it's another one of THOSE--of people screaming, burning, and crawling around on the darkened floor predominates and gets pretty tiresome after a while. The present-day police investigation is much more interesting: More of it and less of what they find on all the charred phones would have made this a much better film.

One good thing: EVIDENCE's makers did their best to rely on real suspense instead of blatant schlock & gore.

This film is a mess. By the time all the details have been revealed, I could not have cared less. I generally will watch found footage films, even though I am often disappointed, however I don't remember being less interested in a found footage film than I was in this one. I was interested in seeing this film, I enjoyed "The Fourth Kind" (the director's previous effort) and I like the actors in the film.

I found myself unable to get involved in the plot and it just did not generate any suspense which is vital for a found footage film. Whatever kind of film you are making, you are trying to tell a story and if you lose viewers at the beginning it's awful difficult to get them back interested. Hopefully, the director's next effort will be more successful. All I can say is skip this one!
