Watch Grave Encounters For Free

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Save your money for something good and enjoyable

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

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.

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.

Inspired from those awful & laughable ghost-investigation television programs, Ghost Encounters is a fine entry in the found-footage subgenre of horror when compared to its counterparts, for it makes good use of genre elements over the course of its runtime to carve a few scary & effective moments but still fails to leave a memorable impression once it's over.The story of Grave Encounters concerns the crew of a ghost-hunting reality television show who decide to lock themselves up inside a reportedly haunted & abandoned mental asylum for a night to document the paranormal activities on camera. But as the night progresses, they discover that the building is more than just haunted and encounter much more than they bargained for.Written & directed by The Vicious Brothers, the notoriety surrounding the mental asylum is quickly skimmed over and the main plot kicks into action soon after all the character are introduced. The filmmakers strictly adhere to the format of those paranormal reality programs by taking this story through the same route, however, unlike those episodes, things do get intense & interesting after a while.Also, unlike most found-footage features, the POV shooting does make sense here and the night vision camera-work & hand-held photography is properly carried out. Editing provides a good pace to the story but the change in direction that its plot later undergoes was uncalled for. As for the performances, the cast plays their part well but none of them ever manage to stand out.On an overall scale, Grave Encounters delivers some good scares and keeps them coming throughout its runtime but even though some of those frightening moments are downright chilling, they still carry a tone of familiarity, for it's something that most horror aficionados have encountered before. Not a bad start to their filmmaking career, The Vicious Brothers' directorial debut does get many things right but just not enough to set itself apart from the norm.

I've always been a fan of movies who don't take themselves too seriously. So I really enjoyed this one. Definitely don't expect innovative things from this movie. There are many cheap jump scares and it's full of clichés, but it all fits in the idea of this parody. This movie is not perfect especially when it comes to the narrative in my opinion, but honestly this is not the kind of movie you should over- think.So if you want to watch a fun horror movie I can you recommend this one!
