The picture's creepiness factor is sufficient to rate this a notch above genre average.
Twelve long years after "The Blair Witch Project" pushed the first-person-POV
subgenre to horror's forefront, and four years after [Rec] expertly refined the formula, Grave Encounters can't even pretend to be anything other than
hopelessly derivative.

Man it's so wonderful to finally watch an awesome horror movie after suffering through so many bad ones. The problem with scary flicks is that you don't know whether they're good unless you watch them, but Grave Encounters freaking delivered. The makers of this film understand how to properly build up the fear before everything goes nuts, and when it goes nuts, they used every weapon in their arsenal. The sounds made by the ghosts/dark beasts were just amazing; the first time you hear one of them roaring through the asylum you know you're watching something special. I like to see the creature if it exists, and was pleased by the visuals. So in short, let's put it this way... Could I see myself in a situation like this being terrified out of my mind? Oh yeah.

this movie was one of the rarest movie that scared the hell out of me and i watch hundreds of horror movie,
it is one of the more insane movie you will never watch, be careful!
and Regardless the review of these magazine wich are paid to give good reviews to cash out movies,
this is an independent movie made to scare you out for good.
Report
As the uniformly annoying characters stumble around, screaming and cursing, we don't give a hoot for their survival. Quite the reverse: we're counting the minutes until the asylum's ghostly inhabitants silence them for good.
True terror needs at least some authenticity. That's perhaps too much to ask of a faked movie about a faked reality show that still can't scare up a fresh idea.
Amazing film, this film gave me all the scares i want in a ghost movie! There is only one criticism i have and that the hands coming out of the wall was just too un-believable. Other than that it was perfect. I esspecially like the idea that the crew start to go a bit insane and love that they become 'in-patients. Brilliant!!!

Surprisingly good for a low budget horror flick. The scares are intense, but the story is kind of weak. Overall the movie is very entertaining if you're looking for a scare without too much deep thought.

This is what happens when an airport meets horror. The entire first half is just monotonous chatter with little character development and cliché horror troupes. What was a relentlessly boring and overdrawn first act should have been made concise and the more interesting second act should have been made to dominate the film. Only after what seemed like ages does the movie wake up and then hit the accelerator only to smash into a brick wall. For a brief moment the movie pulls out some great scares but they are quickly over done and fall into cycle of shaky cameras and running in the dark.
In short: Boring with scares unworthy the wait.
Report
Though the plot is a total disaster, every scene too predictable and the dialogues being parodies themselves, I felt it'd be unfair if I rated it < 3 because, yes, there was a couple of scenes which made me jump out of my seat. Anyway, the trailer is way more frightening than the whole movie itself. What's not that surprising after all since, at the end of the day, most of the horror movies nowadays are predictably plain stupid.
