Evidence of a Haunting

There is a useful directness to Evidence of a Haunting, a horror film shaped by Joey Evans with a firm understanding of its audience. In Evidence of a Haunting, Jessica D. Fulling provides the anchor while Renee Wiggins introduces a contrasting energy. Without revealing later complications, Evidence of a Haunting opens from this situation: Ghost hunters shoot a reality show fight for their lives in tunnels beneath an old Texas college. The resulting its 1h 20m running time feels most convincing whenever Evidence of a Haunting trusts behaviour more than explanation.

Evidence of a Haunting benefits from Joey Evans being more promising in concept than persuasive in execution about what each sequence needs to accomplish. Instead of making every beat equally loud, Joey Evans lets Evidence of a Haunting create contrast between pressure and release. Committed work cannot fully overcome the structural weakness throughout Evidence of a Haunting, with the strongest decisions feeling connected to character rather than display. It is still fair to say that Evidence of a Haunting suffers because relationships remain too thin for later consequences to carry weight, but the problem remains contained.
