Review – Grave Encounters

Okay, let me make sure I understand the concept. A team of videographers working on a reality show about haunted houses end up stuck in a house that’s really haunted. Oh no, it’s an abandoned asylum. And rather than actually put monsters or ghosts or any kind of supernatural thing in the movie, the production is mostly given over to characters bickering with each other. Huh. Nobody’s ever done anything like that. Thank you, Vicious Brothers. To be completely fair, when this movie actually does anything scary, it musters some fun effects (at least some of which were a little too reminiscent of House on Haunted Hill). But that’s less than five minutes total out of more than 90, and zero for the first hour or so. Too little too late to save the show. Plus killing the rat would have cost it a point if it had any points to spare. Wish I’d skipped it
