Grave Encounters:
So
Grave Encounters actually creeped me out a little bit. This is not an
easy thing to do. There isn't that many actual ghost sightings, it's more
psychological, which fits since it takes place in an old asylum.
They
could not leave the asylum, the walls and halls moved, even to where there were
no exits at all. I also loved how when they woke up they had hospital
i.d. bracelets. The ghosts made sure that they knew they weren't ever
safe while they were there.
It was
kind of corny, but all 'found footage' movies are. I think after they got
locked in for the night it was pretty good. As far as modern horror goes,
this was great.
They
spent about $100,000,000 on it, and I think they used it well. The
building was gorgeous and creepy. The location was perfect, what's
creepier then Canada? The ghosts were done pretty well.
Was it
scary? Kind of.
Watch
it alone late at night with the lights out? For sure.
Grave Encounters 2:
This
was not nearly as good or creepy as the first one. However it does tie
into it pretty well. In the first movie it doesn't make clear if the host
for Grave Encounters, Sean Rogerson, lived or died. This movie explained
that and why the asylum is doing what it is doing.
The
cast wasn't as entertaining or likable in my opinion; they were kind of just
annoying. I was really disappointed when the ghosts threw the one camera
guy out the window so early on. So the rest of the staff do make it 'out'
of the asylum and when they try to leave their hotel and get on the elevator
they get transported back to the tunnels at the asylum.
If you
want to see what happened to the original crew and how the 'footage was fond,
then I recommend you watch the sequel. If you want more chills like in
the first one, I suggest you pass.
Is it
Scary? No.
Is it
acceptable to watch with your boyfriend and act scared as an excuse to cuddle
close to him? Yes.
