Evidence

worth a watch

takes found footage to a less gimicky place than the typical approach of a few slides of test saying blah blha this is what was on som kids camera. above all its a murder mystery thriller that uses the gimmick to its advantage.

I hate found footage movies. Especially when I was already getting over being sick. The shaky camera work just makes my stomach churn. This film had a lot of that shaky-badness. What it did do right was have scenes in-between the tumultuous camera angles that really saved the movie. My favorite part is the twist at the end. It honestly saved the whole movie. It was done in a clever way and I never guessed it, but once I saw it I said "oh yeah, that actually makes good sense". Watch this once.

"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." - Ed Gonzalez
