Best movie of this year hands down!

A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

This comment is not about rating the movie. I think there is a huge problem with the parent's guide concerning the "sex and nudity" part. This is absolutely not appropriate for young people. So people must know before seeing this film that barely after starting the movie, we can hear a lot of sex references (teen talk), we see a naked giant doll with teen pretending to do sex with it, and a guy watching pornographic videos on his computer.

Grave Encounters 2 in a nutshell:45 mins of stupid students, played by very bad actors, partying and talking about whether GE1 is fake or not. Their conclusion: It's real.Logical consequence of that conclusion: Let's enter that asylum where people get killed by supernatural forces at night and prove GE1 is real!Then next part of the movie is basically the same as GE1, only with bad actors and "jump scares" that don't work at all. And I'm a person that's very likely to jump at every jump scare.I thought it was cool that Lance Preston appeared, but all that "only one person can get out and has to get all of the tapes to get out through that magical door" crap seemed very forced and didn't make much sense.I'm giving it 3 points because I thought the SFX were good (way better than in the first film) and the location is actually creepy.

Cliché counter:1. Women wearing tank tops where you scene of seeing down their top. 2. College kids who smoke weed, party, drink booze and talk about sex about how fantastic they are. 3. No one seems to go to class and also they are able to skip class for days and not stress about it. 4. Main character has unlimited money for transportation. 5. Over use of demon face effect (google it) 6. They witness the impossible and yet they will not take other peoples explanations or methods. 7. Predictable deaths (One scene, a kid advertises how he is going to die). 8. Pointless running off to get killed. 9. Cell phones don't work. 10. They have a Canadian accent, yet they live in the US. 11. Pointless expose scenes. 12. Filming for no reason. 13. Ghosts can do every thing, I mean EVERY thing! 14. When they are scared one guy will freak out and every one else is yelling. 15. Stupid shock scene using baby. 16. Characters will suddenly fill in the plot by claiming they read this some where, Yet they had never mention it prior to the event. 17. All characters are jerks. 18. Talking to the camera and leaving a verbal will. 19. Trying to hide from entities that are attacking them and yet some how are surprised that they got found 20. Between footage you get a split second shot of them in the mental institute. 21. They never contact the police, EVER. 22. Get lost easily, I am surprised how they make it out of their dorm alive (yes i know the reason how they get lost).

Grave Encounters 2 is about a group of five film students who decide to follow up on the events of the first film, mainly due to one of the group member's persistence in finding out if the events of Grave Encounters were real or not. To their horror, not long after entering Collingwood Psychiatric Hospital, they soon find out that the events that happened there before were very real.This installment is really nothing like the first one in being that it is supposed to be filmed like a documentary and have you actually believe that these are real people documenting real events. The first one did this successfully, but this one had the opposite effect and is a bit like three separate movies put together. The first 35 minutes is like some kind of crap frat party film with the students getting high and getting drunk. The next 30 minutes, when they get to the asylum and set up their camera gear, there is not much build up to events...it just starts taking off, but there are a few good scares here though. The last third of the movie is where it just goes so ridiculously over-the-top it feels as if you're actually watching a Hollywood horror movie instead of a "documentary". Any credibility it had of being a "documentary" before this is completely tossed out.Grave Encounters 2 only JUST scraped a "decent" rating for me purely because of the scares that are in the middle of the movie when the students are moving through the asylum to look for paranormal activity. If it wasn't for those moments then the movie would have completely bombed.Overall it was OK, but it is nowhere near as good as the first one. Very disappointing.
