Grave Encounters

Grave Encounters is a 2010 indie horror film shot in the First Person Camera Style about the crew of a Ghost Hunters -like reality show who surveys haunted locations in the hopes of capturing ghostly activity on film. A prologue mentions that this particular episode, centering around an abandoned mental hospital in the Danvers County area, was to be the sixth, and the raw footage shows how they play up the spooky factor to increase the atmosphere. However, they soon find themselves in the middle of a nightmare as the sun goes down...

The movie provides examples of:

 * Abandoned Hospital
 * Afraid of Blood: Nobody wants to be near the bathtub of blood in the bathroom  so naturally everyone wants to leave.
 * Alien Geometries:
 * Always Night.
 * Apocalyptic Log
 * Attack of the Monster Appendage:
 * Be Careful What You Wish For Lance did want one hell of a ghost hunting show.
 * Body Horror: Multiple ghosts in the movie can distort their faces rather drastically and their eyes become glowing marbles, losing all eye color and iris otherwise.
 * Camp Unsafe Isn't Safe Anymore: The group decides to house up in a defunct mental hospital overnight where ghostly apparitions exist, believing that it is safe and nothing but folklore, boy does that turn out wrong.
 * Also played with repeatedly througout the movie. Regularly the crew tries to hole themselves up in a room to try and rest, and every time they're attacked or spooked in some fashion.
 * Cruel and Unusual Death:
 * Dark World
 * Face Revealing Turn: When everyone finds the bathroom, a woman is looking in the corner. While she turns her head she appears normal, but after just a few seconds her face goes Body Horror and she screams.
 * Fog of Doom:.
 * Found Footage Films
 * Ghostly Goals: Type B, the ghosts in the hospital don't seem to have any purpose beyond running around scaring everybody, causing extreme harm, and killing.
 * Hope Spot: The crew finds a door with an EXIT sign
 * Horror Struck: Members of the cast at first dismiss the stories of the hospital as garbage, and even bribe a man to make stuff up because they don't believe they'll find anything. Then, when every story they heard comes true, suddenly they're all believers.
 * Humanoid Abomination: The ghosts look human, but their behavior, strength, and face contortions show that if they were, they aren't anymore.
 * It Got Worse:
 * Jittercam: Sometimes intentional, sometimes not.
 * Jump Scare: There are a few of these towards the beginning, mostly replacing the jump scares with actual attacks later on.
 * Medical Horror: The famous surgeon who did tons of lobotomies mentioned at the beginning of the film
 * Never Sleep Again: The crew tries to stay awake in shifts, because whenever they all fall asleep, something bad happens in creepy ways to remind the cast they're being toyed with..
 * Nightmare Face: Ooooh boy.
 * Nothing Is Scarier: Somewhat Averted, unlike most of the movies in its genre, the ghosts in this film get bored of being subtle after 15 minutes. There are still some nice creepy shots where you're tense waiting to see what's around the corner next though.
 * Psychological Horror: They do have a lot of physical threats, but there are several indrect threats as well from sickness, lack of food, never ending corridors and no exits, culminating with the fact that time is passing very quickly and they have no light.
 * Room Full of Crazy
 * Room101: The hosptial in a general sense, and the operation chamber in a literal example.
 * Screamer Trailer: Several ghosts attack in the trailer, and at the end a table is thrown and Sasha goes berserk with screaming.
 * Screaming Woman: Sasha. She doesn't ever stand still in the location, but she lets out bloodcurdling screams at the slightest activity of paranormal nature.
 * Shadow Discretion Shot:
 * Shout Out: The crew interviews a man who says that he and his cleaning crew were harassed by the mysterious presences in the building.
 * seems to be a Shout Out to a similar scene near the end of REC 2 and the end is similar to the one in REC
 * Surprisingly Sudden Death:
 * Take That: to Ghost Hunters and reality shows in general.
 * Things That Go Bump in The Night: The bald man ghost.
 * Torture Cellar: The basic purpose of the operating room was to test lobotomies, as history will say the methods were often very cruel and did not let their victims survive very long.
 * Very Loosely Based on a True Story: Some of the earlier antics are partially reminiscent of how real ghost hunting teams such as Ghost Hunters do things, but when they actually start seeing ghosts it blows into its own story.
