Dennis Harvey Variety 10/12/2012
[Adds] additional layers of self-consciousness to a story that was already pretty derivative. Go to Full Review

1.5/5
"Grave Encounters 2" is a miserable affair, a sequel to a movie that drummed up most of its attention online but one that had a few starts and scares along the way. Go to Full Review

1/5
Against all odds, it manages to be more irritating and insufferable than the first movie. Go to Full Review

1/4
Watching Grave Encounters 2 becomes an exercise in trying to find something you haven’t seen before—in other words, an exercise in futility. Go to Full Review

Waste any more time with these films and you'd be better off in a madhouse. Go to Full Review
Sarah Gopaul Digital Journal 10/22/2018
This movie definitely has its jump-in-your-seat moments while creating an eerie atmosphere for at least a section of the film, but it doesn't wholly live up to the reputation of its predecessor. Go to Full Review

Gigonio G @Gigonio 2d I've made an account just to write this review.. holy shit this movie is bad. Watching it made me realise all those melodramatic reviews weren't wrong. It's anything but scary, it's basically the same movie as the first one, and the characters are SOOO anoying. The first 30 minutes of this movie are so unnecesary and nonsenical, i feel like it was only included to pad the movie out. The movie is also stupidly predictable, after the 40 minute mark i could litteraly say "and now there will be a jumpscare" and it was always true.. Also this movie apears to have been made under the obligation that i jumpscare MUST happen every 5 minutes or so.. After a while it gets so annoying, cuz it doesn't make the movie more scary. It just makes you jump and then you get to be annoyed. Near the end the jumpscares didn't even land anymore, cuz i could just see them coming from a kilometer away.. And don't get me started on the CGI, THE FLASH has better CGI than this movie. Just god-awfull!

Anyways DONT recommend to ANYONE! The first one was better See more Kevin J @Okie_Dokie Oct 7 I'm from Philippines I'm enjoy this watching this movie both 1 & 2. Why the hell low rotten score See more Codenamed B @RT62241526 Jul 11 The only good thing about this movie is Sean Rogerson. The movie relies on shock and a lot of jump scares from the first movie. The "protagonists" were loud, irritating and a bunch of frat-idiots. They had no redeeming qualities and I felt nothing when they were killed off. Sean Rogerson though was amazing, he truly showed an unhinged man who had abandoned everything. Avoid this, just go watch the first film again instead. See more Al P @BoosterAp 02/17/2025 Not as good as the first one I really thought it some point they were going to shout 'cut' while in the hospital like they were just filming for their YouTube Channel. Acting and CGI wasnt great. See more Rhys T @Horrorfan99 02/13/2025 Not quite as good as the first, there were a few holes in the story and many unanswered questions. The CGI towards the end was awful and ruined it for me. See more Read all reviews
