Evidence

Could of been so much better, started off fine 4 people go camping in the woods with a video camera.

Things start getting creepy but then...it all goes so wrong. If the movie stayed with the story like at the beginning it would of been OK and the end left me wondering what happened to the movie I was watching at the start. It's an average Blair witch rip off.

The actings not very good, you get a headache after 10 minutes, the characters make you wanna punch them.

In fact I'm actually getting angry over the way the film changed course I'm gonna go goodbye.

I first saw this in 2012 on a dvd which I own.

Saw this few days back on a fast forward mode to put up a review before i throw the dvd in the trash bin.

With a run time of around 78 mins, almost nothing happens till one hour n later when the action takes place, everything is shot with shaky cam, lots of flickering lights n more than 5 times the screen goes blank. One cannot make out wots going on.

A girl keeps running n screaming n the ending is supposed to be some big revelation.

I don't kno why such movies are made.

Another day, another found footage film. While I was wondering, why this "genre" (shouldn't actually call it that) took so long to take off (Blair Witch Project is like ... really old), a friend of mine stated two points that helped: Paranormal Activity and the fact that digital filmmaking has taken over.

Especially the latter rings true. And because it has become even cheaper to make those movies, some of the money that would have been used for the equipment, can be used for effects or costumes now. Some of which you may be able to see in this movie. While I have stated before that I am not a big fan of found footage movies, I have to admit, that after a somewhat normal/slow start, this movie does kind of take off. Still it takes a couple of breaks in between and isn't really sure what it actually wants. But the delirious pace makes you forget almost any mistake you might have caught, watching this. So this roller-coaster is worth taking (some might feel sick at the end as with the real thing of course)

I've read a lot of negative comments & seen this movie rated quite poorly, I have to totally disagree. Most importantly, you MUST be a fan of found footage movies to enjoy this film, if you're not - forget it & go watch something else! Yes, at first it comes across as a little derivative of Blair witch, but there is far more to this movie than that. It starts quite slowly, building up that unsettling & creepy feeling that something isn't quite right with the camping trip. The character behind the camera comes across as manipulative and uncaring, a borderline sociopath. As his world starts to unravel, so does his mind and he becomes a real danger to his companions. Part way through, all hell breaks loose, the action ramps up and the campers are plunged into a living hell. The Actors all play their parts well & are believable. The plot is well thought out with unexpected twists and some great shocks & scares. Most importantly for me, this movie does NOT treat you like an idiot, you are left to work out a lot of what is going on yourself. Plenty of times you'll be asking yourself "WTF just happened?" and that's a GOOD thing! I hate it when directors feel they have to explain every little thing to you, like you're stupid! In short, it's Blair Witch meets Chernobyl Diaries, with plenty of genre originality in there too. If you liked either of those movies, you'll like this - I have no hesitation giving it 7 stars.

This was a pleasant surprise....no actually I knew this was going to be a good one when I purchased it off ebay from a die hard found footage film buff. This is right up there will Evil Things for me. For all the haters out there have you seen Episode 50 or the Bucks County Massacre? Now those were God awful found footage films. This film hit all the right notes....decent acting, some gore, creepy tension and some great looking villains. Most people who liked this film liked the last 20 minutes the most but I felt different. I enjoyed the first hour much more and thought the less we knew about what the hell was stalking these kids in the middle of the night the better. I felt the last act of the film explained too much but it still worked for me. Evidence reminded me a bit of Chernobyl Diaries meets Zombie Diaries with a twist. Overall was coasting to an 8 or a 9 but I was let down a bit by the ending.
