Movie Info

A team of detectives (Stephen Moyer and Radha Mitchell) attempt to piece together what happened at the scene of a brutal massacre using a number of recording devices found at the crime scene. The footage reveals a group of bus passengers who were forced to fight for their lives after they crash in the middle of the desert and a mysterious killer violently murders them one by one.

Moyer plays scenes as if he'd rolled out of bed at noon after a long night of shooting in Bon Temps and had his script pages shoved into his hands five minutes before the director called "Action."

Neither suspenseful nor even comprehensible, John Swetnam's dashed-off script (carelessly directed by Olatunde Osunsanmi) throws up plenty of red herrings - and a stupendously idiotic ending - but not a single character worth caring about.

The always beguiling Radha Mitchell can't save this stunted procedural-horror combo.

The film isn't as smart as it thinks it is, and its characters are painfully generic.

There are interesting ideas here, sadly let down by a weak central plot and formulaic realisation.

Evidence is actually three slightly incongruous film ideas in one almost effective package.

Familiar, predictable, unoriginal... but not entirely unwatchable.

The story's strained, reaching plot goes so far off the CommonSense-o-Meter that there's more than enough "evidence" to convict this movie of impersonating a good mystery.

[A] combination of chaotic phony found footage and whimpering models.

[Evidence] tries to camouflage a standard serial-killer story with digital flimflam and intellectual pretensions.

Again, that the film actually makes time to set up a purpose for the found footage is marvelous. The rest of Evidence doesn't share the same inspiration.

There have been a lot of shoddy found-footage flicks over the past few years, but maybe none quite so shoddy as this.

One wishes it had spared us the remedial theorizing on media culture and artistic representation and license and less apologetically acted the part of a straight-up horror film.

The evidence here merely suggests that the only things more indestructible than horror-movie fiends are the tired tropes their sagas employ.

Audience Reviews for Evidence

Lacks style and eleagance and being short of any real character development is a movie disaster but watchable unlike most crap I watch!

Evidence is yet another found footage style horror tale mixed with detective crime elements to try and create something refreshing in a genre that has overstayed its welcome. This is a pretty good film that manages to be quite entertaining, but is never anything great due to the fact that it relies on a clichéd formula. Still compared to other found footage films, Evidence does manage to be worth seeing; just don't expect anything great either. Evidence may not be anything groundbreaking, but it is better than most horror films that I have seen this year. There are a few good performances, but there is never anyone that steals the show to really make it a standout feature. This movie had so much potential in a being a far better movie than what it turned out to be, but at times it suffers from a lacking script. As it is, it is a good film, but it's similar to many genre films. Evidence had an interesting premise for a horror film, but most of the time it ends up being an average movie that just never reaches its full potential. This is worth seeing, but isn't a film that will reinvent the found footage genre. Give it a shot, you may enjoy it despite its flaws, and the premise is quite interesting, but like I stated previously, should have been much better than what was presented on-screen. Evidence is interesting from start to finish, but suffers from the stagnant formula of the found footage genre. The genre is overdone, and films like this, though good, never break new ground and are just like every other movie that we've seen before.
