    I think the idea of an eldritch location where it is always night and where the hallways wrap back around on themselves was really interesting

    One thing I love about the movie is that the Building is the enemy, not exactly the ghosts. Listen to the movie, everything the guys joke about in the film happening or hints at, aludes to, happens. Every little thing they spout "It could be a demon, we do not want to mess with something like this" all the way to the genuine comments like "If our lights go out, we're fucked", the building is listening and taking notes. It doesn't just scare them, it taunts them and messes with them. It knows what they want and what they don't want. It takes everything they say and throws it back in their faces. Even if the film is fake, I would never step foot in that asylum because you truly never know if something like that is actually going to happen.

    Grave Encounters is the king of "found footage" and a masterclass in low budget horror.

    @audreyquinn73 2 роки тому +5

    I really appreciate this film because while it does follow many of the found footage tropes, it's original in several ways and went meta/humorously self-aware long before it was ubiquitous in horror films. The effects were immensely impressive, especially the "rat scene."
    You lads probably won't see thos comment, but could you do some Asain horror? "AUDITION" and "A TALE OF TWO SISTERS" are two of my favourites and I would love to hear your take on either of these films.

    It's one of my favorite FF movies out there. The build up isn't drawn out and once shit hits the fan, the movie keeps the up the pace.

  • @stillhammered3060
    @stillhammered3060 2 роки тому +3

    I hate to admit it but I was really into all those original ghost shows so when this came out it was so on point with how fake they all were in the first part of the film. Then of course it goes off the rails, lol. I enjoy it enough to rewatch this about once a year.

    the concept of the movie is what makes it work, you always wanted something to happen to those people making bullshit ghost shows, and this movie gives you that, and the movie itself is well made for the resources and budget they had

  • @icreateworlds
    @icreateworlds Рік тому +1

    This is actually a great movie that works as a satire of those paranormal shows where nothing happens , but also it’s a really scary haunted house movie. More original than it seems truly atmospheric. I bought it on Blu-ray. The sequel was also fun but unnecessary. As ghost houses movies go this is particularly good.
    I think for someone to do a proper review of this movie that person needs to see it alone in the dark at 4am with a thunderstorm outside. Watching it with your mates in the afternoon, while commenting on the couch and eating popcorns doesn’t do it.

    this is one of my fav movies i watch it so many times i like the first half more than the second half. the build up the mystery, the fact that they lie and make up stuff to boost ratings for their show just for it to really happen its really clever. However once the 2nd half starts it becomes the same old horror movie we seen before but either way i enjoy it very much thank you Ian and Gary for reviewing this movie.

    @zombiejlt1 Рік тому +1

    I enjoyed the first film and definitely got the SILENT HILL vibe which is probably the reason I enjoyed it as much. The second one was such a let down. If they make a 3rd I hope it retcons 2 or if it does the EVIL DEAD approach then I hope part 3 is better than 2. I do recommend this for found footage fans. I wonder what your thoughts are on THE MONSTER PROJECT.

    This one is all right...I guess, but it picks up in the 2nd half, some creepy moments. I'm not too big on "found footage", but they're watchable with good SFX. Hey it's horror & that's good enough...! Part II is ok...can anyone say "another 'Evil Dead' sucked thru the time portal feel!?

Lads move to London along with a stowed away Jesse to start their new careers as tv film critics wowing audiences with a more working class insight into what’s going on on the big screen etc then disgraced mark kermode guy seeks revenge by trying to sabotage the lads friendship and ultimately their new show!!!!

    I’ve never and will never watch these movies because their just not my kind of horror movie I’m a slasher horror guy though I always had two questions regarding these movies one in universe what happens if you go to the asylum during the day do the same things happen during the day that happen at night and two just how many people have gone in there and never came back out and to that end logic would dictate that if enough people go in and never come out then just take a wrecking ball to the damn building and knock it down that way it can’t take any more people then have a priest bless the land it stood on that way it’s gone forever no more people have to die but you might say “then we’d have no movie” so which I say then don’t write your movie with a plot hole so big that a child could see through it I rest my case
