The 2012 horror movie Grave Encounters 2 is the inevitable follow-up to the 2011 found-footage fan favorite Grave Encounters.
Two years ago, a film crew traveled to Canada to shoot an episode of the ghost-hunting reality show Grave Encounters inside an abandoned psychiatric hospital. After voluntarily locking themselves inside the building overnight with cameras placed everywhere, they found themselves lost in a labyrinth of endless hallways and terrorized by the ghosts of former patients. The found footage was later released as a feature film, a horror phenomenon that many people believed was just a movie.
In Grave Encounters 2, film student Alex Wright (Richard Harmon, TV’s The Killing) is obsessed with the first film and after receiving a message from a mysterious blogger with the screen name, “Death Awaits 666,” decides to visit the real psychiatric hospital »

The HeyUGuys Interview: The Vicious Brothers Talk Grave Encounters
22 February 2013 7:30 AM, PST | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
The Vicious Brothers made a name for themselves with the 2011 horror Grave Encounters, literally and figuratively.
The sequel, written by the Brothers (who are filmmakers Colin Minihan and Stuart Ortiz) and directed by John Poliquin, takes us back to the setting of the first film as fans of the first Grave Encounters film set out to visit the psychiatric hospital where it all happened.
More Ghostwatch than Paranormal Activity, the Grave Encounters series has a number of pleasingly unsettling elements to it, not least the surreal psychological evils which torment the two groups in their respective films. It’s well worth seeking the films out and seeing what a decent take on the found footage horror genre can do.
I had the chance to put some questions to the Brothers and while brevity was on the cards here I did manage to get some details about their films and what »

"Grave Encounters 2" (Movie Review)
16 February 2013 9:25 PM, PST | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »
Music video and commercial director John Poliquin takes over duties helming this film, but The Vicious Brothers have stayed on to write the screenplay. Said screenplay, much like Blair Witch 2: Book Of Shadows, plays with the concept that the original film really existed, though unlike BW2, GE2 still keeps the found footage aesthetic.
The film starts off promising enough with video of YouTube fan reviews of the original film, which most of them hate. One of those vocal critics is film student Alex (Trevor Thompson) who has big dreams of doing an original horror film of his own. Suddenly he starts getting strange online messages from someone with the handle "Deathawaits6" urging him to visit the hospital location used in the of the first film. He begins to do some research and learns that everyone who made Grave Encounters has either disappeared or died. Even The Vicious Brothers are »

Grave Encounters 2 DVD Review
6 February 2013 6:00 AM, PST | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
The first Grave Encounters won some minor acclaim early last year when released straight to DVD as it went places that Paranormal Activity wouldn’t dare. Here was a film with a set up familiar to anyone who went to the cinema in the hopes of seeing something in the corner of a static video camera.
The advantage was that Grave Encounters actually went and showed you the supernatural force in all its angry, face twisting glory. The result was a genuinely tense ride that was scary amongst so many low-budget found footage cash-ins that clog the shelves. Barely a year later, the sequel is now available and is something of a mixed bag.
The plot gets all Meta for the sequel and oddly reminds one of Human Centipede 2 in a way. Alex (Richard Harmon) is a film student who reviews films on his YouTube channel. His review of the »

DVD Review - Grave Encounters 2 (2012)
4 February 2013 4:20 AM, PST | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
Grave Encounters 2, 2012.
Directed by John Poliquin.
Starring Richard Harman, Leanne Lapp, Sean Rogerson, Dylan Playfair, Stephanie Bennet and Howie Lai.
Synopsis:
Tortured by the ghosts of the demonized insane asylum that killed the crew of Grave Encounters, a group of film students fight to escape death as their own paranormal investigation goes terribly wrong.
Ever since the Paranormal Activity series reinvigorated the found footage genre, there's barely a week goes by without some micro-budget, micro-quality direct-to-video release looking to cash on its success. Typically, these amateurish efforts are marketed towards fans of Paranormal Activity with covers and / or titles designed to evoke the low-budget series (see Parnormal Entity, Paranormal Incident, Supernatural Activity et al). However, if you sift through enough trash, occasionally you're going to stumble upon something worthwhile, and that proved to be the case with The Vicious' Brothers' 2011 found footage chiller Grave Encounters.

DVD Review: Grave Encounters 2
3 February 2013 4:14 PM, PST | Blogomatic3000 | See recent Blogomatic3000 news »
Stars: Richard Harmon, Shawn C. Phillips, Jennica Fulton, Jeffrey Bowyer-Chapman, Charlie Kerr | Written by The Vicious Brothers | Directed by John Poliquin
I never really bought into the hype over Grave Encounters. I thought it was a watchable found footage film based in an abandoned psychiatric hospital, that although had some nice ideas was nothing special. In its defence though compared to some of the films based in the sub-genre it was better, and at least the story by The Vicious Brothers was not lazy. Now that Grave Encounters 2 is being released in the United Kingdom yet again I find myself moving into the world of the found footage film and hoping that it’s not more of the same.
After Grave Encounters was released it got mixed reviews, something we are shown at the start of Grave Encounters 2. One person though, Alex a film student wants to know more. »
