For people who don't believe the events of Grave Encounters.Grave Encounters, film student Alex Wright is out to prove them wrong. Alex is as obsessed with the first film as the 20 million people who viewed its viral trailer on YouTube. While he and his friends research the events and visit the real psychiatric hospital depicted in the original film, they find themselves face-to-face with unspeakable evil, banking on the hope that their knowledge of the original film will help them survive the sequel.

Overall this one was a massive disappointment without a whole lot to really like about it. What it does get right and enjoyable is the scenes within the sanitarium as they’re searching around for their film which is just about as impressive as the scenes in the original. Taking full advantage of the same setting and a lot of the same conditions as before which again results in a truly creepy and chilling atmosphere that's perfectly suited for such a movie, this one manages to pile up a rather respectable amount of time showing them running through the facility and encountering all manners of ghosts and demonic figures that go chasing them inside the lengthy darkened hallways or in the various rooms throughout here. From the bathtub encounter to the dimensional portals that show up throughout the facility that prevents them from exiting or accessing specific parts of the location to the numerous scenes of the ghosts turning their full attention to them popping out of nowhere makes for some rather impressive times here since all of these work rather well. Still, for as fun as these scenes are even they become part of the problem here as these tend to come off like retreads of the original. There's no real change-up between these and what happened before, it's just a different set of victims that comes off that way which in the end diminishes their scare factor by being so similar and familiar. Likewise, the fact that this one just takes forever to get to the sanitarium to begin with is another mark since it focuses so heavily on his obsession and tracking down the clues that it really all could've been done in one sequence where he presents all of the research to the team instead of following him around doing the investigating which severely limits the amount of time spent being scared by the ghosts lurking within that they really come off in just one small section of the film and don't really play a part elsewhere here. Finally, the film's final half is where it really loses it by throwing in a series of fantasy-related set-pieces and wholly flawed logic that is not only entirely unbelievable anyway but merely presents itself simply to keep them in danger a little while longer and pad the film out even more. All told, these here keep this one way down compared to the original.
Do illiterate people get the full effect of alphabet soup?

Some people are like slinkies: not good for anything, but you can't help but laugh when one falls down the stairs.

I honestly really, really liked Grave Encounters 2. Yes, it stole a lot from the first as well as the 1999 House on Haunted Hill remake, but it was a solidly entertaining sequel that had a few good surprises in it. (The elevator scene and the ending.)

Plus there is no denying the absolute 100% hotness of Richard freaking Harmon. I would marry that man in an instant and grow a vagina and have 300 of his kids.

I still stand by my husband, Richard, and the fact that I like this more than the first one.

To me the first half hour of the movie is boring.
