fvwyk1-804-458094 I was surprised at the bad ratings this film received! I have been so bored with "Found Footage" films the last few years, and after watching Cannibal Holocaust again, I realized just how predictable and boring these modern day "Found Footage" flicks have become.However, I would rate Evil Things as one of the best in the genre the last decade. Yes, there are no guts and blood like many people expect. The film plays around with the viewer for about , an hour before the "Evil Thing" strikes. In the meantime you get to know the characters. Young likable students, and generally very real and good acting. From the word go, there is a creepy feeling and the viewer anticipates the "Evil thing/s" to strike for a very long, almost painful period. Yes, the film does indeed end with more questions than answers, but for a change this is good. There are a few horror cliché's like cellphone reception not working, phone lines being cut, resistance to call for help, when there is clearly a problem etc. I also really got annoyed with the guy that kept on filming at the most inappropriate times, however, one realizes that without his persistence, there would not have been "found footage".I really generally enjoyed it. I liked the acting, and the way that the evil thing edited the footage at the end really tells a hair raising story. Where films, with literal violence, guts and gore, don't generally scare me, this one did indeed. There was nothing paranormal (thankfully), no guts or blood, monsters or demons, but a nice solid thriller recorded on camera.

trashgang I have nothing against found footage flicks let that be clear but this one here just doesn't deliver any frights or scary moments. What the makers were trying to do is to make a found footage that has a bit of a Blair Witch Project (1999) look. But this time it just didn't work out.I had to wait around 50 minutes before the first weird thing really happens and even that part was rather stupid. You know the feeling, doors being slammed...Before that you have 5 friends meeting each other and going for a anniversary weekend at a house of one's aunt. But while driving out of New York some van is annoying them. They start filming the van but before they know it the van follows every move they make. But it isn't scary. Once at the house the van pops in again and they go to the woods, getting lost of course full of weird noises but again, nothing really happens. Once the night vision is switched on on the camera I thought, well now we are going to get it but just when it should happen, the movie is over...I thought. End credits and still over 10 minutes before the end. Oh yes, we do see that the van filmed them too, a thing we already knew from the VHS throughout the flick. And even that part I had something like, were is the evil thing? Well, the last minute we do hear some evil thing, already once heard in this flick. Fim over and I agree, an evil thing to watch. avoid it and that's a thing I don't say normally. Gore 0/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 0/5 Story 2/5 Comedy 0/5

Benji Moss To give you an idea of how unbelievably brain-rotting this film his, here is an example:There are ten minutes of just footage of the furniture. The effing furniture.Oh, it gets better.(Here come the spoilers)There are ten minutes of cars being filmed with little dialogue and nothing much else. During this film, nothing happens at all, then there is a few minutes of banging and screaming, then the credits roll. Hell, the director even makes them feel pretentious. There is no story, no character study, no explanation, no meaning or purpose, no violence, no nudity, no sex, no blood, no acting- skill. You don't find out what happened to half the cast, they just disappear.You get the impression that the murderer is a stalker but you don't get anything more than that at all. He has no ties to the characters, no explanation as to who it could be and if there is some crazy hidden subtext, I sure as hell didn't get it.Films like this shouldn't just get avoided. They should be sent back to the maker with a effing complaint. Can't believe someone got the opportunity to make a film and made this instead.I can honestly say that this is the first film I have seen that manages to have no closure, no twists, no ending and yet also manages to allow no interpretation at all.

atinder I was a little disappointing about this movie not as scary as I wanted to be. when saw trailer which sound and looked really scary.However it did have some really good tense moment, which was really well done, some of screaming send few shiver down the spine but there after a while the screaming goes a bit over the top and get really annoying I did not expect this form this movie but acting was way better then I thought it be. people are really likable in this movie. I seen so many lost found footage movies this year , i have lost count, this it not a great movie but one of the better found footage movies I that i have seen this year. (One of few that i liked. 5 out of 10 Good movie
