Leofwine_draca EVIL THINGS is a very cheap and average example of the found footage genre. It seems clear that a decade after the runaway success of THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT that films are still content to copy and follow it in its wake - in essence, this film is BLAIR WITCH in a house, albeit with a few plot developments.It's very much par for the course, a film clearly hindered by the lack of budget but one which manages to just about get by thanks to the director's handiwork. The small cast aren't particularly good, but attempts to build an uneasy atmosphere work quite well, I thought. The early stuff with the van is well shot and handled, and the later scenes manage to achieve something with very little. It may not be the best of its kind - far from it - but being a massive fan of the 'found footage' genre, I got a kick out of it anyway. Although the villain's weird clicking noise does sound like it rips off THE GRUDGE quite considerably...

Dan Rey (Nero_Ravensbruck) I have never written a review, but I felt I had to after seeing this film. It started a little slowly, which I have no problem with, setting the scene and character intros are important. There actually are some genuinely creepy moments in this film, BUT it goes nowhere and there's no real depth. I don't want to spoil anything so I'm going to be vague but there is nothing close to an ending, there is basically no plot the characters don't have any realness or feeling to them. This is one awful, pointless film. As I said there are a couple of genuinely creepy scenes, but they are completely let down by the other 99.9% of this film. I suggest to avoid this and spend your 80-something minutes on something much more worthwhile. I wish I never bothered with this film. My opinion is one of the worst things I've ever seen, 0.1/10!!!

victoryismineblast Five friends set off on a weekend in an isolated country home to celebrate one of their birthdays. One of the friends, Leo, brings along his video camera to film the celebrations. Along the way they are stalked by a mysterious van. Once they arrive and the festivities get under way things take a turn for the worse as they realize they are not alone. I will not reveal how they find out but it is very unsettling. With no cell phone reception and no one around for miles, they are completely alone and at the mercy of their stalker.I found this one a little slow to get going but very enjoyable, though with maybe not enough payoff at the conclusion. Still, the movie plays on our fear of the dark, and isolation, and is effectively scary at times, and a lot of fun.

mdnobles19 Evil Things villain had evil plans and the setup and premise was unsettling and not forced but took its time delivering a pinch of jolts and the fact that it doesn't ever show these twisted psychopath or psychopaths was unnerving. The movie's downfall is that nothing much happens to make it as a whole terrifying or deliver any true scares but just a bunch of confused and scared young adults running and driving helplessly until they meet their demise with no payoff or explanation which is a all too common theme with the found footage horror movies and this one just doesn't have any action at all or much of a concrete script or story but just an chilling idea that could of resolved in a more effective way, it didn't come off as authentic at all. The acting wasn't bad per say and they have believable chemistry among each other but they had nothing to work with at all but just walk and drive around and small talk and act scared and the fact that none of the characters had much of a backstory didn't help matters either. The filming of the raw atmosphere is what helped the film lose a lower rating from me but everything else just didn't gel together in an interesting way and most of the time it's like watching some strangers boring home videos. Overall it's like Five Across The Eyes meets Them in the most ho hum way. Skip it!
