Radha Mitchell as Detective Burquez and Stephen Moyer as Detective Reese in Evidence 2013
The horror genre was founded for creators to push boundaries and to experiment with filmmaking in a way that no other medium has as they search for new methods of terrifying audiences by re-imagining concepts that have unnerved watchers for years. Few horror subgenres have been as successful at this as found footage, as creators try out new ways to place audiences in the victims' perspectives with this boundary-pushing concept. Of course, they don't always work.

The film opens with a press conference, reporters closing in as Detectives Burquez and Reese struggle to solve the case of a complete massacre at a deserted shopping center just outside of Las Vegas.
'Evidence' Goes Between Found Footage and Traditional Storytelling ✕ Remove Ads The film threads in moments of the Detectives discussing the case and their investigation with its found footage elements, using them as perfect punctuations to unnerving scenes that push viewers to find the same clues this duo does.
✕ Remove Ads It's a fresh, unique approach to mystery horror never before seen in this subgenre. While found footage has incorporated third-person filming before, by rooting itself in an investigation the movie challenges viewers to be as glued to their screens as the detectives are. To try not to blink, to scan every moment in the hopes of untangling the investigation itself, it makes each jumpscare and gory moment that much more startling to watch.
