Video X: Evidence

while this film was a crapjob from hell, it was at least entertaining for the 0$ i spent on renting it. thank God for free mail offers. also, having watched it with someone who has actually seen people shot, the effects were also dis-satisfactory. when choosing a horror flick at a rental place, one looks at the title and the cover, as these usually tell a good bit about the quality of film you will be viewing. video x has a very convincing cover, title, and plot line and "disclaimer" on the back. it seems very real until a few scenes in when the hick poor acting starts to show through, and deaths are unbelievably poorly done. this movie is too reminiscent of blair witch, wrong turn, and has a strong stench of a wannabe bonnie and clyde. its a good watch if you know what you're in for.

The movie is actually a true story, based on people from back in the day, the movie was of course made to be a movie. Seen way worst with bigger budgets, this is a good 2 or 3 watches, I even rewinded parts I left on. Shout out Darla Jean. No spoilers here but I do have a link on the actual story, and will be watching the heartland documentary now. I believe it's called murder in heartland, the ending of the movie did have me wanting more, the way it ended was way too soon for me. Movie is obviously not real footage yet done really well. Tasteful and well put together in my opinion. Definitely go watch!

I really liked this found footage movie. It is by no means Natural Born Killers, but it was interesting. I found this before I watched Murder in the Heartland: The Search for Video X. You can watch them in order or backwards it really doesn't matter, but seeing the same "story" by the two different view points was something I had never seen before.

I also picked this up pretty cheap, believing it was real thanks to the convincing packaging.... After watching Video X I was touched....No really, it was an awesome movie, and it shows how people can plan one thing and get another... In the beginning it was just two young lovers looking for a way out, then life got them twisted, thrown in circumstances that turned their lives around and made them what they became.....Stupidly I believed it was real, until I did my research and found it to be fake...I was upset at first, then happy for them it didn't go down like that... Good to see Darla-Jean is still alive and still very cute too.... LOL

Don't believe these other reviews! I am gonna bet that they watched the first 10mins at the most and then turned it off. This movie is excellent. It is slow at first but it turns into an incredible crime spree based on a true story about Darla-Jean and Dwayne a couple that drove across six states, killed 11 people, preformed 17 robberies, and recorded it all on one camera.

There are plenty of crazy murders and a really funny hick love story. Once you get past the gorilla style shooting (Used in Clover Field) I am sure you will love this movie, don't give up on it because its kinda slow moving in the beginning but it is action packed and well worth it!

As for finding this movie I found on in a blockbuster once and could never find one to buy, I wish I knew the guy in the other review and have him send me his copy! I do know it is on Instant Watch on Netflix but I don't know how long it will be on there for. I hope you all watch this movie because it is wonderful!
