I remember watching the first one and thinking it was ok. I thought it was hilarious how much they parodied Paranormal State, which I love. But this movie just reminded me of some pretentious film students that I had classes with. Well, just one in particular and so I didn't like him from the start so I was just hoping he was going to die the whole movie.
Anyways it starts with a bunch of online reviews of Grave Encounters. Funny how mine didn't end up on there. Maybe I should just start filming my reviews and putting them online. Probably not since I can't really do that at work. But back to the story. The final review is a total tool that is in film school somewhere in or near Seattle, and in my opinion the guy is full of himself and not that likable so I'm not sure how he has so many friends and even a love interest in the movie. Whatever.
After posting his online review he gets a message from "Death Awaits" with longitude/latitude location on it. He starts doing research and finds it's the location of the mental institution where the first movie was filmed. After doing more research he finds out that all the actors and crew from the film mysteriously disappeared after the movie. He decides that instead of making his piece of shit horror film that follows ever cliche in the book, he would rather make a documentary about what really happened during Grave Encounters.
He gets a few more responses from "Death Awaits" and they agree to meet up in the mental institution at 3 a.m. Taking a student film crew with him, they break into the institution and proceed to meet up with the mysterious "Death Awaits". While waiting, they discover a homemade table top Quiji board. When they start to ask the spirits questions, they find out that they are talking to "Death Await" who informs them to film everything.
One by one people start disappear and ghosts and demons start attacking until they find the star of the original Grave Encounters who believes he knows a way out of this hell hole.
In my opinion the first movie was a lot better than the second. One I wasn't so annoyed with the characters because they had no idea what they were getting themselves into. But these stupid students who saw and studied the original and then went into it knowing about the disappearings and the dumb hauntings and decided to take no precautions other than blow horns and glow sticks. Seriously? If that's the case then I don't really feel bad for them.
