Evidence

Completely inane
After multiple bodies are found burned at an abandoned garage police sit around in a room and watch all of the victims' home movies from their cameras and phones, looking for clues. The set-up is bad to begin with--it doesn't make sense that every police officer investigating the case would be wasting their time watching home movies instead of investigating the crime. One or two cops, yes, but not a roomful of them. The set-up gives the filmmakers the opportunity to make two completely different terrible movies in one--it's a found footage thriller, where the characters talk to the camera, shriek and argue a lot and are generally so annoying that you want them to get killed already and also a thoroughly inept police procedural, where the filmmakers reveal that everything they learned about police work came from watching bad television shows. Then there's the ending--I don't doubt that the filmmakers think their twist ending was super clever but, seriously, a smart murderer isn't...

Great Thrill ride
This movie was awesome. I enjoyed the entire ride. It's from the same director that gave us "The Fourth Kind" which I also liked a lot so I decided to check it out. The movie is a roller coaster. I won't give anything away as the movie surprises the less you know about it. Great blend of found footage and regular movie. The opening credits were also beautifully shot...with excellent camera work. Highly recommended.

Entertaining film
Yes, the "shaky cam" is now a well-ridden genre but, still there are films like this one that try to take things in a unique direction. While character development was a bit subpar, the action was enough to keep things moving along.
