Filmmaker Calvin (Calvin Morie McCarthy), his crew (Tim Coyle, Erik Skybak) and actress Naomi (Maomi Mechem-Miller) want to shoot a documentary about the Boogeyman, which has been spotted on farmer Jim's (Jim Spence) vast land. However, the documentary seems to be doomed from the start thanks to Calvin's overly big ego, Naomi's lack of talent as the film's narrator and the whole group's inexperience as ghothunters - but at least Calvin succeeds to get into Naomi's panties, however their intercourse is cut short by the Boogeyman making an appearance - or was it all just Calvin's imagination. However, Naomi disappears shortly thereafter, and the guys' attempt to find her not only splits up the group, they also find actual evidence of the Boogeyman - and find out that's not necessarily a good thing ...

So ok, Evidence of the Boogeyman is a found footage movie, so do expect enough shaky camera footage to make you seasick. That said though, this isn't at all a bad movie as it's on one hand character-driven, and on the other good at building up its mystery rather than just dumping the audience into genre-typical situations, And the cast all give relatable performances, really embodying their characters with all their flaws to properly ground the film. So despite all the shortcomings of the found footage approach, this is a very solid and very entertaining genre ride.
