Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

Sadly Over-hyped

Load of rubbish!!

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

As an older person new to the found footage genre, I really appreciated this film for its courage and originality. If you give it a wide berth and watch it on it's own terms, there are plenty of chills to keep you scared enough to keep the house lights burning whilst you slowly cower in your favourite corner of the living room.The four protagonists aren't terribly smart or even likeable, but that's keeping in character with the story, they aren't supposed to be. The last hour of the film doesn't have much bearing on what's gone on before, but that's okay if you're willing to go along for the ride. The surprises in these films at risk of becoming cliches such as the camp fire expositions with strange men out of nowhere, (see Wolf Creeek) work somehow and keep you interested in what's going to happen next.The last 30 minutes or so are kind of mind blowing, but the surprise factor is exciting and well executed, that I want for a change, to point out the positive aspects of Evidence, and downplay it's shortcomings. It was probably made on a shoestring by genre enthusiasts on their own time and money which is how the genre began in the first place, and I'm grateful for their efforts.

I seriously hope the makers of this film never get to go behind a camera again. Ever. There have been some shockers in the FF genre but this one wins the prize as the biggest pile of elephant dung ever made. It is a shame as the film starts reasonably promisingly, however by the time anything actually happens you really want to see the characters die, especially the one who just screams 'f--- you!!! No one cares about your documentary' every time he opens his mouth. The last twenty minutes are so unclear and vague it seems the director and writer had just lost all interest in the film by then....The only saving grace is the stunning Abigail Richie and the rather gratuitous close ups of her backside and breasts as she runs all over the place.I noticed with dismay on the film's Wiki page that a prequel AND a sequel are planned. I hope these never happen. I actually wonder who approved this film for a commercial release. I hope he lost his job for allowing this horrible mess to infest the world of film. There are no real saving graces here apart from the aforementioned Ms Richie. The acting is dire on the whole, the script written by a 5 year old, the story a jumbled mess as is the cinematography.

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.
