Am I Missing Something?

The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

There was earlier post stating that this was the worst film ever??? I can only assume that reviewer has only seen a handful of films. I thought this was a clever, enthralling film, it has it's flaws yes hence the 7stars not an 8 but as the film unfolds as you're watching you feel part of the process. I would say give it a go.

I'm running low on my watch list. It seems everything I want to see now is not available for streaming on Amazon or Netflix, and thus, I have started settling for movies that to be quite frank, I would never watch, had I something better to do, or a general purpose in life. Similarly my quest for frightening movies has ended, as it seems that I've seen them all. After watching Grave Encounters last night and suffering not even a flinch, I have replaced the idea of 'scary' with 'entertaining'. If I can watch a movie the whole way through these days, it's an aberration from the norm. To the movie 'Evidence's' credit, it was entertaining, and I'm glad I stuck through till the ending.The plot circles around a horrific crime scene in which multiple people are murdered and mutilated beyond recognition. We learn from the beginning that there are some survivors, though we are not informed of their identities. Luckily for the police, a tape that documents that groups nightmare is recovered, which (of course) the police must review in order to try and solve the crime.For fear of spoiling the movie, I'm not going to go more in-depth in regards to it's plot. This is the kind of movie where the less you know, the better. It's a typical 'who dun nit?', and it truly does keep you guessing until the end. I have to admit that about 3/4 into the film, I was starting to get bored. "Here we go again, another ridiculous serial killer movie", I thought to myself. I'm glad I followed through with it though because the plot twist and ending is so outrageous that it actually redeems the rest of the film which was mediocre at best.Evidence is kind of a hybrid of 'Found-Footage' and conventional cinematography, which I liked. It's definitely one of the best looking in the sub-genre, comparable to 'As Above/So Below' in terms of cinematography. Sure there is some shaky camera moments, but overall the film is shot rather beautifully, which we attribute to the fact that one of the lead characters had conveniently been shooting a documentary before the havoc ensued.Overall, this is not a great movie, and like I said earlier, if I had something better to do, I probably wouldn't have wasted my time with it. That aside, if you're running low on entertainment, and find yourself sitting around on a rainy day wanting to watch a movie, 'Evidence' does the trick. It's a mystery that for once keeps the viewer guessing until the climactic finale, and it's definitely a fun watch. I'll give it five stars because it exceeded my expectations by a long shot, but at the same time was nothing new or ground breaking.

What starts out as a crime scene investigation quickly turns into a sub-genre as police investigate lost footage. That's right, the movie is a lost footage flick with a twist. The police investigation is the main meat of the movie, with the lost footage only serving as the filler. This makes sense as lost footage films are normally full of filler and lots of screaming anyway. Only this time it is police chasing a madman through a film and an audience observing the police instead.The killer in question does something unique – he uses a torch cutter to dismember his victims and light them on fire. The killer also does something unique to strand his victims – barbed wire underneath the bus that is transporting the targets. Not unique is the fact there is a gas station in the middle of the desert; also not unique is the fact it is young college students en route to a trip of fun (Vegas) and they soon find themselves taking a detour and stranded.I will not spoil the surprise, but the movie uses several genres to play it out and does so in a way that was both entertaining and very surprising. The movie takes several clichés and mixes them for something new. I recommend the movie.Originally posted to Orion Age (http://www.orionphysics.com/? p=8027).

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.
