It's Miriam's 21st Birthday. As a birthday gift, Miriam's aunt Gail has decided to lend Miriam her beautiful country house for an entire weekend. Aunt Gail's country house is amazing. It's a four bedroom house surrounded by breathtaking mountains and miles and miles of woods. Miriam invites her young college friends Cassy, Mark, Tanya and Leo to join her at the country house for what looks to be the most amazing weekend ever. Of course they all jump at the chance to spend a free weekend in the country, in the middle of nowhere. Miriam's friends are totally in the mood for a big time party weekend. They're also anxious to escape the dark and gloomy concrete jungle known as Manhattan. Miriam, Cassy and Tanya bring the food. Mark brings the beer and Leo, the aspiring filmmaker, brings his new video camera. Leo hopes to produce a short movie by documenting every amazing moment of this weekend getaway. Unfortunately, what Leo ends up capturing on camera is not a weekend of peace and tranquility, but a nightmarish descent into pure terror.

| User ReviewRudy GA scary horror movie! One of the best documentary movies! |
| User ReviewJohn WDominic Perez weaves an eerie web of suspense and tension as 5 New York college kids head to the countryside for a getaway weekend. In the vein of "Blair Witch Project" the tale is told from recovered evidence after the disappearance of the 5 students. The hand held HD camera work gives this film a gritty realism that will have you covering your eyes in fear... and taking a quick peek for more. Written, produced, shot, directed, and edited by Perez, this film is a strong debut performance from a filmmaker to look out for. |

| User ReviewTerri MIt was slow to start but once it gets going it really gets going. |
| User ReviewMelly BThere have been so many of these 'found footage' style movies that it's sorta lost its touch at this point but this one was one of the better ones I've seen in a while. Pretty well put together and realistic feeling. It's not the Blair Witch. This is something that could actually potentially happen and that helped. |
| User ReviewJoe AAnother in the found footage horror genre, this one tells the story of a group of young friends headed to an isolated country house for a vacation getaway. Their troubles begin with a minor altercation with an ominous van on an icy road and escalates as it appears the mysterious driver may have followed them to the the house to exact some kind of retribution. For the most part Evil Things is nothing new, it does have some effectively creepy scenes especially the begining sequences depicting the encountering of the van and then the last third where things go bad for our vacationers. There is stuff that doesn't work too, like a group getting lost in the woods when the ground is snow covered and they could have easily followed their footprints back to the house. And why would found footage have occasional soundtrack music. Also, the middle drags a bit as we hang with the group and get to know them but, the film gets back to the story soon enough and then there is the traditional running around with the camera. Why no one in these flicks ever drops the camera when chased is beyond me. Film does get interesting when it becomes known that their mysterious stalker is actually filming them and the film at one point takes up the perspective of his camera as he launches his assault. Some interesting additions to the genre but, also too many reliances on the familiar trappings. Worth a look but with moderate expectations. |
| User ReviewJohn MIt was okay and I did like the van stalker thing, but it was hard to see why these people were friends. I'm not really sure why anyone would go spelunking in negative temperatures. That part seemed like some kind of filler |
| User ReviewMatt SEvil 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 explaination 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 eachother 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! |
