## Reception

[edit]

Critical reception for Evidence has been mixed to negative,[4] with Bloody Disgusting saying it "[failed] to scare".[5] Shock Till You Drop panned the film overall, calling it a "good effort" but criticized the film's shift in tone.[6] In contrast, Dread Central gave a more positive review, giving it 3 1/2 out of five blades and praising the film's shift.[7] JoBlo's Arrow in the Head reviewer Matt Withers wrote that he "kinda dug it" but that "a couple of effective scares and some solid visuals aren't enough to make up for a story that makes little attempt to explain itself and drags far too often to be considered truly successful".[8]
