Evidence is a 2013 film from Olatunde Osunsanmi (director of The Fourth Kind and The Cavern) and starring Radha Mitchell, Stephen Moyer, and Harry Lennix that blends elements of a found-footage horror movie and an investigative crime drama. In the aftermath of a massacre at an abandoned desert truck stop, a group of investigators are tasked with examining the footage recovered from the victims' cameras to piece together what happened and discover who is responsible.

comment
Framing Device: The scenes with the investigators can come across this way; although they do contribute to the plot and appear scattered throughout the movie, the meat of the film is definitely the found footage elements.

The Reveal
 Evidence / int_6b2b3b59
comment
The Reveal: The supposedly raw footage the investigators are watching has actually already been edited by the killer - or, in fact, killers. The two surviving young women had switched back and forth in the "role," planted evidence and shot and cut their video deceptively to throw off the investigation and get away with murder.

Final Girl: Rachel has all the makings of this only for her to die, and LeAnn to be the final girl instead. Then it turns out they both survived and are in fact the killers, and the movie has a Final Boy instead.
