turtlilp I sincerely enjoyed the first movie but this one couldn't make me feel like this is the right second movie for it. The first part contained of nothing too important, just the party and recording the movie. In the second part there was just a slightly shorter repetition of the first movie and the end was finally something that brought new things in - but not really too much fascinating. It rounded up the story a bit but was too short and quick thanks to the unnecessary length of the first half.Although the story made sense at the end, the movie had a few clichés like the never-ending thing with ghosts screaming with their mouth wide open. This was annoying after the first time and took away a lot of the feel. I am very disappointed by this movie since it doesn't quite fit the genre of a 'horror movie' too well. It wasn't really scary and only had a few shockers in it. Usually movies without these attributes are quite suspense - but not this one.I don't recommend anyone to watch this movie except for people who enjoy watching horror movies that are not very hard.

Scarecrow-88 Richard Harmon leads a group of his film student buddies on a project to locate the Grave Encounters site, looking to prove if what was seen in that was real or fictional. Researching it, the location of those involved in that "first film" cannot seem to be found, and Harmon even interviews Grave Encounters host Lance Preston's dementia-plagued mom to gain his whereabouts to no avail. Contacted by "Death Awaits" through his review YouTube channel, Harmon discovers the location of the site, and a brief visit to Hollywood to speak with the producer of Grave Encounters (a hidden camera recording the conversation) seems to indicate he's covering up the actual fates of those gone missing, with only the footage found. So the students head to the hospital, enter in despite warnings from a security guard not to do so (he follows them, hears a noise upstairs, goes to investigate, and winds up electro-shocked by an unseen presence in one of many ridiculous paranormal events of the film), with the hospital *enveloping* them. The students are lost in the hospital, as in the first found footage film, with the walls and rooms shifting and changing, sending them around in circles, as they encounter specters which give them chase, eventually encountering Lance Preston who has degenerated into a mouse-eating, filthy, unstable, babbling loon. Preston, however, introduces them to a red door that might be the key to them escaping. But "Death Awaits" has a request: to "finish the film" so that "more will come". Ludicrous sequence which has three of the students (one is thrown out a window, another has her body crushed then dragged away from the camera's eye) actually leaving the hospital, driving to their hotel, entering their room, getting their gear, and taking the elevator which opens to reveal the basement of the hospital they had just escaped! The liberties of the screenplay have a residual replay of the hospital's insane doctor and nurses from years prior lobotomizing a pregnant patient, taking her baby, and sacrificing it in a ritualistic ceremony complete with chalked pentagram above as Harmon and Leanna Lapp (his actress girlfriend) hide in a closet looking on in horror. Gosh, I just needed to see Sean Rogerson (Preston) eating another mouse. He gets to play all bonkers, including his crushing a kid's head open with a tool and choking him to death in a bathroom (just the way we all want to go, right?). Harmon is so cold and robotic, how Lapp's character could see anything in him is beyond me. A couple of fading white ghouls with black eyes and elongating mouths pursue the students. There are cameras levitating by invisible entities who shoot the activity of Lance Preston as he goes into ghost show mode for a wonky sequence. There's even a portal that opens in a wall and handwriting on a wall telling Preston to finish the film. Harmon, proving what a marvel of a boyfriend he is chooses his own welfare over his gal's. Some good special effects and, although silly as all get out, the plot developments are certainly different than the norm. I think the cute YouTube reviews of the Grave Encounters played at the beginning was a nice throwback to what Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2 (2000) did for The Blair Witch Project.

Svanblixt Grave encounters 2 Is the sequel for Grave encounters as you could guess ;)The movie begins with you-tubers that review the first grave encounters and one of them is the main character Alex (Richard Harmon).He rate the movie with 1 of 4 skulls on his review then it cuts to a party where Alex friend Trevor (Dylan Playfair) records when he is drinking and trying to get girls. On the party he meets another character and also Alex's love interest Jennifer (Leanne Lapp) Trevor then forces Alex to the party and they all get drunk. The morning after Alex gets a you-tube message from an user called Death Awaist who sends Alex proof that Grave encounters is real Alex then gets obsessed with the movie and believe that its real, he then visit Jerry Hartfield (Ben Wilkinson) who tells Alex the truth and that its real he then convinces Trevor to follow him to the hospital. So Alex,Trevor,Jennifer,Tessa and Jared are driving to the hospital we are in the second act and they finally are in the hospital.The movie well done and all but the end is a bit messed up and the characters are flat and cliché but i like they way they bring back Lance everyone says its like the first movie but it ain't i actually liked this one more than the first one.Character:Alex Wright: Richard Harmon.Trevor Thompson: Dylan Playfair.Jennifer Parker: Leanne Lapp.Jared Lee: Howie Lai.Tessa Hamill: Stephanie Bennett.Lance Preston: Sean Rogerson.Hope you liked my Review of this movie i know its bad since its my first and I'm not good at this but hope you liked it anyway.Svanblixt.

David Arnold Grave Encounters 2 is about a group of five film students who decide to follow up on the events of the first film, mainly due to one of the group member's persistence in finding out if the events of Grave Encounters were real or not. To their horror, not long after entering Collingwood Psychiatric Hospital, they soon find out that the events that happened there before were very real.This installment is really nothing like the first one in being that it is supposed to be filmed like a documentary and have you actually believe that these are real people documenting real events. The first one did this successfully, but this one had the opposite effect and is a bit like three separate movies put together. The first 35 minutes is like some kind of crap frat party film with the students getting high and getting drunk. The next 30 minutes, when they get to the asylum and set up their camera gear, there is not much build up to events...it just starts taking off, but there are a few good scares here though. The last third of the movie is where it just goes so ridiculously over-the-top it feels as if you're actually watching a Hollywood horror movie instead of a "documentary". Any credibility it had of being a "documentary" before this is completely tossed out.Grave Encounters 2 only JUST scraped a "decent" rating for me purely because of the scares that are in the middle of the movie when the students are moving through the asylum to look for paranormal activity. If it wasn't for those moments then the movie would have completely bombed.Overall it was OK, but it is nowhere near as good as the first one. Very disappointing.
