GRAVE ENCOUNTERS 2 [2012]

The first Grave Encounters found footage horror film was a surprisingly effective thrill-ride, so it'd only make sense that they screw it up by giving it a shitty sequel.
While the first one took its time starting up because it was wisely setting up uber-creepy tension and moodiness, this film takes it's time because it feels it has to show us who these insipid new cast of characters are without any mood set-up.  I'm not sure if it was intentionally trying to be as silly as it was but it really ruined what the first one was and in-turn does nothing for itself.  Perhaps the only nice part about this film is it's shot in Vancouver and actually takes place in Vancouver.  Weird.
