ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.

Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Cissy Évelyne It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

Adam Taylor I've watched countless found footage films. Most of them try to be scary, and fail horribly. Usually ending up just being a bunch of people overacting and being annoying.Grave Encounters is not one of those movies. It clearly works with a low budget, but does amazing things with what little it has. Honestly it's a far better horror movie than most big budget films I've seen.The setting and cast are perfect. There's a wonderful mix of realism in it, so that you're not just watching the typical overreaction nonsense most found footage films are. It feels like people trying to film an actual show.The creepiness of the film starts of slow, but builds to an incredible level. There's some really great scares, and some wonderfully disturbing moments. If you're a fan of horror, this is a must watch film. And if you enjoy found footage, you're not really going to find much than can compete.

Anidre_1009 The afterlife encounters are things that we have seen overexploited in a lot of horror movies, to the point that we could do full marathons dedicated only to this subgenre for days. Luckily some tend to stand out exceptionally, others bore completely and some entertain us rewardingly.Grave Encounters enters the last concept. It is a simple movie with a simple premise that entertains us enough and gives us a certain sense of terror, clear between the cliches of the jumpscares and can be predictable at certain times, but throughout the duration of the film I kept an interest strong and I felt entertained with what I was looking at; certain moments had a terrifying atmosphere and some others were simpler and simpler, but above all, it was an entertaining movie to kill the time, neither perfect, nor bad, nor so good, simply entertaining.

Mikelikesnotlikes I like the cheesy start, which wasn't overdone, although maybe some indication as to what happened to the team could have been added. Were their bodies found, did they disappear forever, etc? You'd think that would be the main points for that choice of intro.Some good laughs starts the film off nicely and then you are unnerved in small increments as creepy events accumulate. When Sasha gets her back slashed off screen you know sh*t is getting serious.The endless hallways, time slips and how the building's corridors and tunnels all led back in on themselves was a really good tension builder. Of course the "let's split up" thing never goes well in a horror movie, but sticking together didn't work out so good for these guys either.There were definitely enough cameras involved, (it is a found film type of production BTW), to give the viewer multiple positions to see what was going on. It's always hard to show the scares convincingly when the character should be running full-tilt away from the monsters and yet still be 'with it' enough to hold a camera on the subject.Very good addition to the genre and a great late night movie. Be warned, you'll be jumping at any noises you hear in your house for quite some time afterwards.

rosecalifornia We all do it, you know, play movies in the background while we are doing other things around the home - this is not even worth doing that.After watching the film, you have to wonder how many family, friends and actors from the flicks actually rate these things online.First, the "found footage" films typically follow the same script, so taking that into account with a grain of salt. You actually need something for nausea. Evidently the film makers thought - the more they moved and shoot the camera, the more realistic it would make the film - fail. You quickly get a headache and even dizzy at some points. Zoom in, zoom out, focus, unfocus - repeat literally every two seconds.Note to found footage film makers, even the cheapest cameras now have antishake ..... stop with the shaky cams already.The acting is marginal. You can see the main characters trying very hard to act out everything they know about being - an actor, playing a part, that not technically supposed to be an acting part.The story you can clearly tell is copying ghost adventures...
