Amazing film, this film gave me all the scares i want in a ghost movie! There is only one criticism i have and that the hands coming out of the wall was just too un-believable.

I watched this film at 3 in the morning and it was too quiet and after watching this film, I had to switch on the lights of my room (not because the film finished but because it scared the hell out of me). Grave Encounters is clearly one ofI watched this film at 3 in the morning and it was too quiet and after watching this film, I had to switch on the lights of my room (not because the film finished but because it scared the hell out of me). Grave Encounters is clearly one of the most terrifying found-footage films ever made. I don't usually get scared by watching films or TV shows because it gave me really good scares. Although it doesn't have a really good cast or much of an "awesome" plot but despite that it manages to deliver the horror to you. A few scenes were really lame and should have been eliminated at the time of editing but well, as they say that nothing can ever be perfect. I really appreciate the effort of the Vicious Brothers for writing and directing this film. I don't know why the so called critics have disliked this film, I think they got scared too much and were not in their right senses when reviewing this film. This is a must watch for horror fans. I know there are a lot of really good horror films out there but this film, at least, deserves a watch. I hope you won't be disappointed.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is a really fun found footage flick. It's not totally original in terms of story, but the idea of a phony ghost-hunter style TV show that ends up in a real haunted asylum is an interesting premise. The film does rely on jump scares, but there is some raw tension as well. Also, the asylum's rooms, hallways, and doors can move around, causing a feeling of disorientation and claustrophobia. Definitely worth a watch with a few friends.… Expand

To be honest, i thought this was a very good film.It had a very good idea with the whole asylum changing and not allowing them to get out, then the idea you could see the ghosts made it much scarier. overall i thought the film was very goodTo be honest, i thought this was a very good film.It had a very good idea with the whole asylum changing and not allowing them to get out, then the idea you could see the ghosts made it much scarier. overall i thought the film was very good and deserves to be recognized as a good film… Expand

I guess nobody noticed an interesting side of the film. Ghost hunters are fake.
I liked seeing the criticism about the lie that involves the production of the kind of "reality show".

The part where the hospital begins to become a ghost train... it was ok, for the low cost that the film shows. The important thing is see the warning "do not believe in the kind of nonsense." Not bad.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie was one of the most terrifying things I have ever seen. It stuns me that people wouldn't be able to appreciate the raw terror put into this movie. For myself, I love scary movies and try my hardest to get as scared as I possibly can. The first time I saw Grave Encounters, it made me scream, and it made me so scared that I wanted to cry. This is the kind of scary that I look for in a movie. To really be scared, you have to understand that it's all psychological. The idea of being trapped with mentally unstable ghosts is enough to freak me out just by the thought. They give this idea life in the movie. It seems like nothing at first. The crew of ghost hunters can't seem to find any proof of ghosts. The first real occurrence of any entity is away from the characters, when the window opens. The next is the door slamming behind camera man TC, and after that Sasha's hair gets moved by nothing. Each thing gradually gets more and more scary. The events after that is that tech guy Matt goes missing, and the characters start to believe that the place is actually haunted. Nothing absolutely terrifying has yet happened. There is one part that completely changes the movie over. The characters are wandering the halls, looking for Matt, freaked out by this point, when they hear screaming. They run to it, assuming its Matt. They enter a room, and the cameras, still filming in night vision, catches a girl, facing the corner of the wall. She's wearing what appears to be a hospital gown, which blood stains everywhere and all ripped up. Paralyzed by fear, they are unsure what to do. At some point the girl, or ghost, turns around and her her face is like a demon's. At that point in the movie, I realized that the creators weren't afraid to shove the scariest things right in your face. Many scary movies unfortunately try to let you use your imagination to scare you more. This, so me, doesn't work all the time. I want to see things that scare the hell out of me. And this movie achieved that.… Expand

Man it's so wonderful to finally watch an awesome horror movie after suffering through so many bad ones. The problem with scary flicks is that you don't know whether they're good unless you watch them, but Grave Encounters freaking delivered.Man it's so wonderful to finally watch an awesome horror movie after suffering through so many bad ones. The problem with scary flicks is that you don't know whether they're good unless you watch them, but Grave Encounters freaking delivered. The makers of this film understand how to properly build up the fear before everything goes nuts, and when it goes nuts, they used every weapon in their arsenal. The sounds made by the ghosts/dark beasts were just amazing; the first time you hear one of them roaring through the asylum you know you're watching something special. I like to see the creature if it exists, and was pleased by the visuals. So in short, let's put it this way... Could I see myself in a situation like this being terrified out of my mind? Oh yeah.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Though I did not actually find this movie scary, I must commend it on its creativity. It is full of dark ideas that were integrated into the story beautifully. It may have taken quite a while to get off the ground, but once it did it kept me intrigued until the very end. It does have its flaws: the characters are all annoying messes of personality that I just wanted to see become victims (and don't worry, they all do eventually), and the effects are overdone enough that the movie's attempt to seem "real" was not at all believable. However, there is enough good (and by good, I really mean dark and twisted) stuff in this film that it is definitely worth watching, beyond a doubt. I have heard that a sequel is in the making, and that is very good news, because I want more!… Expand
