Review of Grave Encounters (2011) by Joe A — 24 Jul 2013
Grave Encounters adds nothing new to the found footage or horror genres but, 'The Vicious Brothers' know their source material and have a lot of fun with it. Story of a "Ghost Adventures" like paranormal show investigating an abandoned asylum and getting more then they bargined for evokes "Paranormal Activity" and "Blair Witch" often but, takes the familiar ball and runs with it.
When it's apparent this crew is more schiesters then spook hunters, the film gets very giddy with putting them through a sinister, supernatural funhouse and takes you along for the ride if you let it.
Sure you've seen it all before but, if you just go with it and enjoy the ride, Grave Encounters can be a lot of spooky fun as you watch our trapped paranormal team decend into madness from the safety of your couch.
Not very original but a fun time none the less.
