Grave Encounters (2011)


I dont think many of you have heard about this film, as i could only find out on the internet that it was screened in the US.
The film is basically a film like Paranormal Activity. Lots of suspense and scenes that can make you jump. It involves lots of camera shake because they try to make it like a real life documentary.
It's about this group of ghost hunters that are about to film their sixth episode of Grave Encounters, in a building which was a hospital for the mentally insane and is supposedly very haunted.
The team get set up in the building with their cameras and bits, then get the housekeeper to lock them inside for about 8 hours. This 8 hours turns into days and they can't remember which day they are on. It's pretty dead for about 50 mins of the hour and a half film, but in that 50 minutes you check every corner of the camera lense just to see if you can see anything.
Im a big fan of Paranormal Activity films and this film felt alot like another one. You know when something in Paranormal Activity is about to happen because you normally hear like a faint bassy roar and then you see something ghostly happen. well this film has those moments too, but the sound is a little bit different.

I would personally give the film a 3.5/5.0 because i dont know what actually happens at the end, theres not alot happening until the last 30 minutes and lastly, what happened in the hospital pretty much defied the laws of life haha. At least in Paranormal Activity they made it look real and based the things in the film that actually get documented in real life. But if your into scary suspense films like that then i would definately recommend this a watch. Also as its like difficult to get hold of finding it, ill leave you a decent link (virus free) of the film. :D
