'''''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 [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|an abandoned mental hospital]] [[Session 9|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...
{{tropelist}}
* [[Abandoned Hospital]]
* [[Afraid of Blood]]: Nobody wants to be near [[Blood Bath|the bathtub of blood]] in the bathroom {{spoiler|except Matt but he's insane at this point}} so naturally everyone wants to leave. {{spoiler|It's made even worse when Matt won't get away from the tub and T.C. gets pulled in by something, whatever it was, resulting in him vanishing. They even tip the tub over, he's gone.}}
Line 19 ⟶ 18:
* [[Dark World]]
* {{spoiler|[[Darkness Equals Death]]: and how. Any character moving around on their own or out of shot or view is effectively doomed.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Death
* {{spoiler|[[Everybody's Dead, Dave]]: One by one the characters die off, until even Lance is lobotomized and we never find out what happened to him when they found the camera equipment.}}
* [[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.
Line 35 ⟶ 34:
* [[Nightmare Face]]: Ooooh boy.
* [[Nothing Is Scarier]]: Somewhat Averted, unlike most of the [[Found Footage Films|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.
* {{spoiler|[[The End - or Is It?]]?: The bodies of the crew are never stated to be found, and it's uncertain if the crew has become a part of the dead walking in the hospital or are gone, but it's certain that whatever is in the hospital is still there.}}
* [[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.
* {{spoiler|[[Psycho Party Member]]: Matt totally loses his marbles altogether and becomes insane. Luckily he doesn't hurt anyone, although he does indirectly cause T.C.'s death and also kills himself.}}
Line 43 ⟶ 42:
* [[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]]: {{spoiler|Lance's lobotomy is not shown, you hear him plead sanity, then scream in pain before seeing the after effects.}}
* [[Shout
** {{spoiler|T.C's death}} seems to be a [[Shout
* [[Surprisingly
* [[Take That]]: to [[Ghost Hunters]] and reality shows in general.
* [[Things That Go Bump in
* [[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. {{spoiler|the final survivor finds this out first hand.}}
* [[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.
