starts out semi interesting and it all goes down hill. every once in a while something happens that gets your interest and keeps you from dozing off. unfortunately you start snoozing again just to snap out of your slumber just long enough to open your eyes for a moment. like other reviews that says this movie is not on par with good movies is correct. total watchable parts of the movie is about 5-6 minutes long, the rest is a wast of time and space. think about what makes a good movie and then wonder why this has none of that stuff in it. they could of made this film a lot more fun if they showed some nudity or had humor, drama, good dialogue? just about anything would of made this movie almost memorably for more then the time spent watching it.

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!

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.

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 is very well done film, it gets straight to point with whole watching found footage and I especially enjoyed how they changed back and forward from to "reality" with the detectives finding clues, trying figured out who the killer is. This edge of your seat tension thriller with some "Horror" elements, the horror side of the film was very disappointing with some one or two nasty deaths however it wasn't strong enough and the fact it's already happened, we'll watching it with the detectives, it takes away some of that creepy atmosphere and who might survivor the night but saying that, if was just that only. The film would have sucked but because it's got that race against time feel, it adds more plus with the shocking smart ending you will be glad stick with the film and it definitely pays off.
Being that it's from the director of "The Fourth Kind" another type of film like this one, I believe his improved hugely with imagine and using the actors to show they can actor. It's surprising right! I would recommend this film for sure 7/10

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...

I watched this after thinking the trailer looked good. Huge mistake. It's one of the worst movies I've ever seen. The camera work is horrendous! The plot sucks and takes way to long to build the story. It's a shame because the concept has potential but the execution in this case was a huge fail. There are plenty of found footage films that are entertaining. They should have focused much more on the investigators and their analysis of the found footage. Instead they choose to focus on the showing us sub par camera work but do a terrible job of revealing interesting clues to keep the viewer interested. I'm shocked this film was released in its current form. Don't waste your money.

This one gets 6 points for effort. Evidence takes elements of genres and mixes them together, if you are a CSI fan you may well enjoy this. Warning the actors portrayed on the DVD cover and the screenshots referring to this movies are experienced and recognisable however they are not the stars and are in fact not in the movie that much, I was expecting their characters to be the subject of the movie and develop throughout it, they don't. This movie is in actual fact mostly a found footage movie which I think finally I am tiring of. In fact I find found footage actually tiring to watch; all that shaky cam action. The premise was relatively fresh and I found the movie enjoyable enough for an hour and a half depsite silly things like serial killers with ninja stealth apparently no matter what they're wearing or carrying. I ended up watching it because somebody somewhere described the movie as 'disturbing'. Someone taking this movie seriously would be disturbing however as a suped up CSI episode its alright.

First of all, the found footage-style needs to be done precisely. This movie is just a confusing mix of bad footage put together. I needed to rewind the movie at times so I could follow the damn plot because the camera work was really bad.
Second of all, the acting and characterization is poor. With all the screaming and whining I can't even understand the dialogue.. Aaaand they repeat "oh my god" a lot, what a buzzkill.
The thing that brings this movie to a whole new level of ridiculousness is the over-dramatic way if showing everything. They probably thought they did a suspensful movie, but the music, spinning camera, it is just idiotic. It's too much for a movie that is otherwise shot poorly and doesn't obviously have a lot of budget.
Overall, what is the point of this movie? Does this bring anything interesting to the horror genre? I don't think so, a bunch of people that happen to have a camera for every turn of events, that's nothing new.

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!

This is one of the worst movies I've seen. There is no story, or I did not get it. Its clear from the early start that the two women are lesbian friends, so thats no surprise at the end.
The women in the movie are constantly screaming in a childish way. It is never a scary movie, what it is is boring and you hope it may get better but it doesn't. The use of handycam footage is nice for one minute and then it gets disturbing, never surprising (or it must be that everything is on tape)
Its not horror, not scary, not a Thriller, not funny. It is best forgotten.
