Evidence is a 2013 crime thriller horror film directed by Olatunde Osunsanmi and written by John Swetnam. The film stars Torrey DeVitto, Caitlin Stasey, Harry Lennix, Svetlana Metkina, Dale Dickey, Radha Mitchell, and Stephen Moyer and was released by Bold Films on July 19, 2013. It follows two detectives on their investigation of a brutal massacre with their only leads being recording devices found at the crime scene.
The film begins by showing the aftermath of the massacre in Kidwell, Nevada.
Police are first seen going over the crime scene showing the aftermath of everything that had happened; The story then moves to a press conference with reporters asking questions about the massacre to the lead Detective Burquez who states that the police are looking into the matter. After the conference a disheveled Detective Reese asks to be put on the case to which Detective Burquez relents. They move to a situation room with a TV and multiple computers going over information from the case, here we learn there were four video cameras found at the crime scene and two survivors, They load up the first video camera and begin to watch.
We see a woman practicing lines for a play, then the video jumps to a man playing guitar and a surprise party for the woman celebrating getting a part in a play. This is Leann and her friend Rachel behind the camera. The video shows Leann and her boyfriend Tyler at Leann's play where he proposes, she declines and he walks off stage angry. The video shows the girls making a video to Tyler to apologize for the propsal and to continue with a trip that was previously planned. The three are shown getting on to a shuttle bus heading to Las Vegas driven by Ben, along the way we see people being picked up and we meet Vicki, a dancer and Steven, a 16-year-old runaway.
While watching the video the detectives notice another person on the bus, a woman. When zooming in, they notice she is carrying a military duffle bag full of money. Focusing in on the name on the bag, they get the name Fleishman.
While on route to Las Vegas, some of the passengers notice they're not on any main roads, but dirt roads. Rachel asks where they are going when the bus hits something and the bus flips. Outside they realize that what they hit was barbed wire. Ben mentions he saw a truck repair shop a few miles back, and the group begins to walk back to the repair shop. They arrive at the shop where Ben looks around for a phone to call for help, and is able to locate a damaged service phone. He then heads back to the group. Ben asks Rachel if her camera has a light, since the sun will be going down, and Vicki opens a gift box with a small hand held camera also with a light. Ben tells the women to gather everyone together. As Rachel goes looking for Leann in one of the buildings, the lights flicker on and Steven stumbles out of a room covered in blood; chasing after him, the others find Steven and Rachel. Leann believes she sees someone and they all run into one of the buildings.
