The Grave Encounters duology is like actually baller as hell and neither film deserved the reputation they got for being bad movies.
The first one is a really great premise and also a love letter to the horror genre.
The second one might actually be one of the best horror sequels I've ever seen in terms of what it does with the set up from the first movie.
Deeply underrated classics in my opinion

GRAVE ENCOUNTERS 2 (2012) REWATCH
😿Dead Rat
To love Grave Encounters 2 or to be wrong. The way they build on what they already have is commendable and SCARY. It made me worried I was going to open one of my doors at home and it would open to the asylum. Sheesh! I could care less for the creature they love to have on the cover photo and am more afraid of the actual location!
⭐⭐⭐
Trigger Warning R-Word, Baby Death
Our sequel is about some college students in film school who receive some cryptic messages about the Grave Encounters movie. At first it doesn’t seem like much but then they receive the actual coordinates to an asylum in Canada, could this be where the Grave Encounters crew supposedly went missing? When one of the students tries to reach out to anyone who was involved with the original movie he cannot find anyone. They meet up with the original guy, Lance’s, Mom to try and get the scoop on what is going on and what/where her son ended up. The mother had advanced dementia though so wasn’t too much help. Randomly while reporting on his findings a call sheet prints out for a music video being produced by the same guy who produced Grave Encounters so Alex flies out to LA to meet up with the guy! When they meet Alex secretly records the conversation and confirms that what happened in the movie was true and that the people starring in it are dead.
The gang is told that they will meet with someone inside the asylum in the middle of the night, all they have to do is go there. So what do they do? They hop in a car and head to Canada! Wack! This time there is a security guard outside of the asylum. The gang is able to avoid the guard and slip inside the asylum and start filming. They find evidence of the old crew (dead half eaten rats) on their way to meet up with the stranger who is late. They find a spirit board (or Ouija board) carved into a table and use it to try and contact the spirits who end up being the contact that brought them out in the first place. It instructs them to “FILM EVERYTHING.” The security guard finds them and tries to get them to leave but he hears a suspicious noise and makes them wait for him while he investigates.
The gang hears gunshots off screen and try looking for the guard but he is gone. They try to gather up their equipment but one of them finds himself being launched through a window on the top floor of the asylum. Absolutely freaked out, the rest of the gang try to escape quickly but instead find themselves falling into the same traps that their predecessors fell into, the exits just don’t appear to exist. They come across a patient who has an extreme face like from the first movie and have to run away quickly. One of the girls gets separated from the group and is lost completely before getting the Paranormal Activity drag and then getting killed.
Alex understands now that he will never see that lost friend again because that is the nature of this building he just doesn’t understand why he was called here. Alex tells the last girl standing, Jennifer, that he isn’t going to let anything happen to her�� Do we believe him folks? The security guard makes a return just to get electroshock therapy and then he bursts into flames. A big scary monster starts to chase them and it brings them to the front entrance that they go through and are outside of the asylum (wack) and when the monster/patient tries to follow it evaporates into ash. The gang, or what is remaining of the gang, return to the hotel, terrified, pack up their stuff and get in the elevator to leave… but the elevator doors don’t open to the hotel lobby. They open up to the asylum. THEY NEVER LEFT.
They are in the basement of the asylum and are even worse off mentally than they were before. Surprise! Lance is back from the first movie! He never died! He wants to help them stay alive but also isn’t all there mentally (you know, because of the whole lobotomy thing). He takes them to a red door (Insidious much?) and says they need to go through it. First they have to backtrack to get the bolt cutters they used to break in. Trevor, the roommate, is off recording a message to his folks when Lance bursts in and kills him, saying he was made to do it. Bummer city for sure. Also there is a lot of whispering going on and the cameras are starting to be lifted up and floated around recording “by themselves” so that is something important to note.
They all meet up at the red door to have a final battle because just opening it wasn’t enough to let Lance escape. Things are pretty intense and then the building opens up a black hole that sucks Lance in! But it is too late for Jennifer because Alex has been listening to what the asylum wants and says he will give it the ending it deserves so HE kills Jennifer. She is so sure he won’t do it she barely fights back, it is very sad. Then Alex declares that he will finish the movie for the asylum and that people will come to it, that Alex will be essentially feeding it. This means the asylum lets him leave so out the red door he goes and back to the real world. We see him with the slimy producer saying that this is the in-no-way-real sequel to the in-no-way-real first movie. Right before the credits, Alex tells us all not to go to the location and then the location coordinates flash on the screen for a split second. AND I TELL YOU WHAT IT MADE ME WANT TO GO THERE. There is also an after credits bonus where we have the two girls talking about Alex and how Jennifer only went on this trip because she liked him which makes him killing her even more devastating.

Grave Encounters 2, Rewatch and Reaction

Since Grave Encounters was better than I remembered it, I figured I'd roll right into Grave Encounters 2.
The original kicked off with a very good sartorial take on the ghost hunting realty shows. This one kicks off with the equivalent of era specific YouTube videos that capture the aesthetic and vibe of the time as well.
The entire scene in the Halloween party is unfortunate, in pretty much every way. It's comical and a little disappointing that this was made in 2012, but the entire rant about the state of horror films, in the middle of the party, while this very pretty girl is clearly looking for his attention, feels all too real, as does the vomiting and humiliation that follows.

The obsession with a supposed conspiracy has unfortunately become even more believable/topical in the last decade too. The way this is all coming together feels like a stretch though. The "spirits reaching out through the computer" almost always feels like a reach or like its shoehorned in, because it both doesn't make sense, but isn't far enough out of the norm to feel supernatural. It also leads inevitably to the questions about why the "spirits" wouldn't be luring as many people as they could to wherever they're looking for victims.
Bringing the producer back from the original is smart, and making him a very stereotypical Hollywood douche bro is good for effect, if not a little on the nose.
It's also a funny bit when Alex and Jennifer, go so quickly and easily into the same melodramatic, over the top on camera delivery as Lance in the original when he starts filming his "documentary."
Though it takes longer to get into the hospital, this one kicks into high gear even more quickly than the original, thanks to a conveniently placed spirit board. Where the first one took its time introducing the idea of time and space being warped, this one immediately jumps into that and the introduction of spirits/ghosts in camera. There isn't any consistency though, because we also see someone attacked by something that can't be seen within minutes.

There may be a bit too much of the ghosts on camera in this one. I also can't nail down why I felt more invested in the sense of threat the characters were facing in the previous movie. These kids all feel like cannon fodder.
The security guard showing back up to get electrocuted was unexpected.

This bit of the building letting them think they got out and were going to make it home was an interesting twist.
Lance (the protagonist of the first film) showing back up, looking like a Robinson Crusoe extra was unexpected as well. The Red Door bit is a little on the nose, but the bit with the door that doesn't go anywhere until the third time they open it is cool. They're playing with the rules of time/space warping in some interesting ways this time. This bit with the camera floating up out of the bad by itself seems kind of unnecessary. We already know that they're not alone, and whatever is there is malevolent. As an excuse to wake someone up, it seems a little extra, given the situation. Who's going to sleep all that well in the first place?

Trevor wandering off alone is also a little much, given what we've already seen. Characters in horror movies do dumb shit all the time, but these people have seen som serious shit already. Sean/Lance taking him out was unexpected. Feels like some Shining shit. The camera floating around by itself is taking things a little far. Are ghosts really that interested in being recorded and making sure they're message is going to get out? I don't know man. The hospital or whatever is in the hospital being obsessed with finishing the film also feels like it's a little much.
Well, I remembered correctly. This feels like a pretty inferior sequel.

Grave Encounters 2 (2012)
A sequel the plot of which revolves around the popularity of the original and an investigation into whether or not it was real. So basically the same general concept as Book of Shadows, but done in a way that actually feels like a sequel to the original. Overall, it is a little "more of the same." And while that does mean that it does well the things that the original did well, it also falls short in the same areas. Unfortunately there is just a bit less of the good, and more of the bad. Especially the ghosts that still look like a badly Photoshopped image that would accompany a derivative middling creepypasta.
5/10
