Grave Encounters | comment |
Grave Encounters is a 2011 indie found footage horror film directed by the Vicious Brothers. It documents the fate of the crew of a Ghost Adventures-type reality show which surveys haunted locations in the hopes of capturing ghostly activity on film. A prologue mentions that this particular episode, centering around an abandoned mental hospital in the Danvers County area, was to be the sixth, and the raw footage shows how the crew initially play up the spooky factor to increase the atmosphere. However, they soon find themselves in the middle of a nightmare as the sun goes down...It has a sequel, Grave Encounters 2. | |

Cruel and Unusual Death | |
Grave Encounters / int_1e584efa | comment |
Cruel and Unusual Death: Almost every death. Houston is attacked by a ghost and flung several feet down a corridor. T.C. is disappeared into a bathtub full of blood. In fairness, it's never revealed if he actually died or was just zapped to somewhere else. Sasha has the weirdest one by far. At one point, she starts writhing on the floor and coughing up blood. Later on, she and Lance are shrouded in fog while sleeping in the underground corridors, and by the time the fog has dissipated, she has vanished. | |

Horror Struck | |
Grave Encounters / int_1fb0f07b | comment |
Horror Struck: Members of the cast and crew at first dismiss the stories of the hospital as garbage, and even bribe a man to make stuff up because they don't believe they'll find anything. Then, when every story they heard comes true, suddenly they're all believers. Sasha and Lance are at least open to the possibility that ghosts exist, but unlike Lance Sasha loses interest fast in proving the supernatural exists after a ghost makes physical contact with her. | |

Stylistic Suck | |
Grave Encounters / int_415b3315 | comment |
Stylistic Suck: Houston is only pretending to be a psychic for the purpose of the show... and it shows in his blatantly hammy and cheesy performance. Word of God states that Houston was based on a real-life "psychic" employed for a Ghost Hunters-style show. Early in the film, we see a title sequence for the show - it's pretty cheesy and suitably low-budget for what's supposed to be cheaply made reality TV. | |

Phony Psychic: Houston is supposedly a psychic who the team recruited to make contact with the spirits in the locations they visit, but as shown whenever they're not filming, he's actually just an actor Lance hired after he pitched the series. In one scene, they have him fake a spiritual interaction where he "picks up" on the supernatural energy in the hospital, where he's just using info they've gotten from other people they've interviewed. | |

Medical Horror: Dr. Friedkin, the famous surgeon who did tons of unethical experiments, including lobotomies mentioned at the beginning of the film is in the hospital with the ghosts still doing lobotomies with his nurses and tools. This is especially true since the ending strongly implies that the reason for all this ghost business is that he was taking part in some kind of Black Magic. | |

Houston is only pretending to be a psychic for the purpose of the show... and it shows in his blatantly hammy and cheesy performance. Word of God states that Houston was based on a real-life "psychic" employed for a Ghost Hunters-style show. | |

Asshole Victim | |
Grave Encounters / int_8ed5c6e4 | comment |
Asshole Victim: Deconstructed with the Grave Encounters crew: While they have their arrogant moments (mainly Lance, Houston, and T.C.), it's clear they're just a normal TV crew just wanting to make entertainment. Lance does seem invested in haunted locations, however seemed jaded that he can't find the right location. Sasha and Matt seem to only be with the crew out just for the job and arguably because they do enjoy the paranormal, but that's about it. Played straight with Dr. Friedkin, who was murdered in 1942 when six of his patients broke out of their cells and stabbed him to death in his office. | |

Do Not Taunt Cthulhu: The interviews with the usual groundsworkers at the beginning make it clear that those who maintain the hospital simply to do a job and without any ulterior motives are mostly left alone by the spirits. It's only when the team actively goes out of its way to antagonize them by filming everything, clearly not taking things seriously, and treating the whole hospital as a money-making spectacle that things go south. | |

Foreshadowing | |
Grave Encounters / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: When Lance, Matt, and Sasha are headed to the elevators, they pass by a room that a loud roar emits from, but they continue. Lance later has to return to this same room, and finds out what it was. A lot of scenes in the movie are like this, particularly their comments while down in the tunnels. T.C. is attacked and pulled into a tub of blood by some humanoid entity, but vanishes in the tub like he disappeared. The tub is the same tub Lance had been telling us earlier was used by a patient to slit her wrists and die in when the hospital was open. The window from the beginning of the movie that Kenny talked about did open with Matt in the room. It's the first sign that the supernatural aspect of the hospital has become active. Dr. Friedkin is talked about for a good several minutes at the beginning of the movie, and Matt references that "he" can help them get better and leave the hospital. His ghost shows up later in the fabled operating room. At one point the crew wakes up and realizes Sasha's back has "HELLO" scratched deep into it - a Call-Back since she had been the one trying to contact them using EVP earlier. After this, the ghosts begin starting up. When the search begins, they run into a room with a bunch of rats in it and are grossed out. Lance winds up having to eat the rats for sustenance, and the same door leads to Dr. Friedkin's operating room later. One of the gimmicks the crew uses at the beginning is using a flash-camera to take pictures, since supposedly ghosts show up more clearly in them. When they first attempt this, there is nothing there other than the photographed walls. When Lance later hastily does this while angrily wondering what's causing the disturbances, the pictures now depict demonic ghostly entities floating nearby all the characters. Lance explains that "intelligent hauntings," while rare, involve spirits interacting with the living, and that people have been pushed, scratched and even thrown. TC gets pushed down the stairs, Sasha wakes up with a message scratched on her back, and Houston is thrown across a hallway via an explosion. | |

Camp Unsafe Isn't Safe Anymore: The group decides to house up in a defunct mental hospital overnight where ghostly apparitions exist, believing that it is safe and nothing but folklore. Boy does that turn out wrong. Played with repeatedly throughout the movie. Regularly the crew tries to hole themselves up in a room to try and rest, and every time they're attacked or spooked in some fashion, in this specific order: The lobby is the first camp spot, but the crew moves out after something knocks out their floodlights. The next camp spot is a storage closet, which is abandoned after the group finds Matt, but they make a new camp spot in a patient room. They're later chased out of this one by a horde of ghostly arms that reach through the walls and ceiling. The final camp spot is another patient room, which is made after T.C.'s death. | |

Nothing Is Scarier | |
Grave Encounters / int_cdfe12c3 | comment |
Nothing Is Scarier: Somewhat averted; unlike most of the movies in its genre, the ghosts in this film get bored of being subtle after 15 minutes. There are still some nice tense moments where the viewer is waiting to see what's around the corner. Houston's death is a result of this. We see him blunder down a hallway in pure darkness, unaware of the overhead cameras set up to watch, and is unable to see because his flashlight died. As he wanders down the hall, the viewer can clearly see Houston is the only visible entity on camera, but as he nears the end of the hallway, he is lifted off the ground and choked by some invisible entity. Houston is in total darkness and thus cannot see, so he begins swiping at the air trying to hit whatever's grasping him, but the viewer can clearly see whatever it is, it's apparently not only invisible, but intangible. Houston then gets violently launched down the hallway and dies from the impact. | |
