Oh, come on! Are we really in here arguing over whether this was a great movie or a terrible one?
I don't get the naysayers. If you failed to find any thrills in "Grave Encounters," I don't know where you can possibly get your fix.
This movie was just straight fun from start to finish. There's just enough time spent setting things up so that by the times horror starts flying from all directions, we know a little something about each of the players here. We know the history of the building that closes in on them and we know there will be comeuppance for all of their smug mockery of ghosts.
And man, what comeuppance it is. By the time things get real in the asylum, it's hard not to go a little bit mad right along with the characters we see running and screaming through those halls.
The director does an excellent job with dealing out the terror bit by bit until he's ready to open the bloody spigots all the way. This movie was just a blast and it was scary enough that the trip down the dark hall to my bedroom after was a little uncomfortable.
If I have any nit picks at all, it's that on occasion, they went a little too nuts with the effect. But really, that only started to happen toward the end of the movie and by then, it was pretty much any anything-goes affair in the forever benighted halls of that lunatic place.
This one was just a blast. I'll probably give it an extra star just for the rat scene.
