3''Exhibit A'' is an English [[FoundFootageFilms found footage]] horror film (of sorts) about a family for whom one impulsive decision spirals out of control. In Yorkshire, a family attempts to live beyond their means, exacerbated by a single lie on the patriarch Andy (Bradley Cole)'s behalf. It's a 2007 film, but wasn't released on DVD in either the USA or the UK until 2010.

7
8* AffablyEvil: Andy seems like a genuinely nice, loving guy, but [[spoiler:his behavior makes it hard to regard him as anything but evil.]]
9* ClosetGay: Downplayed as Judith says she's genuinely unsure of her sexuality, but she definitely has a huge crush on Claire.
10* CovertPervert: Judith uses her video camera to sneakily film Claire without her knowledge. The footage is, however, completely innocent and G-rated.
11* DaddysGirl: Judith is very close to Andy, and seems to be his favorite. [[spoiler:He still kills her first, though.]]
12* FictionalFanRealCelebrity: Andy is a big fan of [[Creator/MorecambeAndWise Eric Morecambe.]]
13* HowWeGotHere: The story begins with Judith's camera as "Exhibit A" and then rewinds to show how it got that way.
14* PaterFamilicide: [[spoiler:Andy ends up killing his entire family.]]
15* SiblingTriangle: Judith clearly crushes on Claire, who flirts mutually with her brother Joe.
16* SlowlySlippingIntoEvil: Andy starts off lying about his job, [[spoiler:then spirals into trying to kill the guy who got the promotion, viciously beating him, and ultimately kills his whole family.]]
17* UnconfessedUnemployment: A variant. Andy lies to his family and says he got a promotion, when he didn't.
