Evidence (2013) Review
Synopsis: A detective hunts down a killer using video footage shot by the victims of a massacre at an abandoned gas station.

The Poughkeepsie Tapes Review
Synopsis (from IMDb): In an abandoned house in Poughkeepsie, New York murder investigators uncover hundreds of tapes showing decades of a serial killer’s work.
