I'm still so shocked at how many genuinely GOOD found footage style horror indies are still circulating. I was definitely wrong to write the style off so quickly.deadlydollshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06061028044836745499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003758772971289930.post-43059105030022239282012-08-07T12:55:17.676-04:002012-08-07T12:55:17.676-04:00I too came to this without really knowing anything...I too came to this without really knowing anything about it - I think the only I thing I read about it was Christine's review over at Paracinema. I really enjoyed it - loved the central premise and nods to dodgy paranormal investigation TV shows and was completely thrown when it took a few unexpected turns about halfway through. I'll say no more, except I enjoyed your review and hope you're well, Emily! :)James Graceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08968719719213071671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003758772971289930.post-46712125858756070512012-08-01T21:58:49.717-04:002012-08-01T21:58:49.717-04:00I can see your point but while watching, everythin...I can see your point but while watching, everything just clicked for me.

Mainly because the film hinged upon the fact that these shysters, when the shit hit the fan, would have to express real and genuine fear. And when they did, I didn't buy it. I could care less what happened to them. And the CGI was enough to take me out of it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003758772971289930.post-30982445101295040012012-07-31T17:05:03.715-04:002012-07-31T17:05:03.715-04:00Huh.

I'd heard nothing about it when I spotted it on streaming and gave it a shot because it sounded so bad it might be fun... and then when I found it actually starting to get creepy, and actually scary... I was so surprised. <br />I could have done with fewer FX shots of ghosts... or a bit more subtlety to them at least... but that's a very minor complaint when I think of how my brain panicked when they smashed open the front doors...Timmy Crabcakeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14737954661234574830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003758772971289930.post-16295425928187466502012-07-30T11:51:30.929-04:002012-07-30T11:51:30.929-04:00HMMMM.

And best of all, unlike on "Ghost Adventures," in GRAVE ENCOUNTERS stuff actually *happens.* :)<br /><br />With regard to horror figures as name banks for movie characters, sometimes truth is stranger than fiction. I learned that some years ago the president of the California Medical Association was none other than one Dr. Richard S. FRANKENSTEIN! I'm sure all of his colleagues where nothing but professional when it came to his name. ;)The Vicar of VHShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06832137990485130735noreply@blogger.com
