Grave Encounters has joined the ranks of the “if they can do it, so can we” phenomena that the Blair Witch Project catapulted and Paranormal Activity successfully revitalized for horror. Despite a quasi-interesting, yet rehashed, overused, unoriginal (shall I continue) premise that attempts to take full advantage of the “found footage” craze that has plagued both the theater and home video markets, Grave Encounters falls short of delivering the goods where it counted. Although I have more bad things to say about the film than good, I have to admit that it wasn’t as bad as I expected.

Lance Preston and the crew of “Grave Encounters”, a ghost-hunting reality television show, are shooting an episode inside the abandoned Collingwood Psychiatric Hospital, where unexplained phenomena has been reported for years. All in the name of good television, they voluntarily lock themselves inside the building for the night and begin a paranormal investigation, capturing everything on camera. They quickly realize that the building is more than just haunted – it is alive – and it has no intention of ever letting them leave. They find themselves lost in a labyrinth maze of endless hallways and corridors, terrorized by the ghosts of the former patients. They soon begin to question their own sanity, slipping deeper and deeper into the depths of madness, ultimately discovering the truth behind the hospital’s dark past…and taping what turns out to be their final episode.
