Tribeca ’11 REVIEW: ‘Grave Encounters’ Carbon Copy Horror

Published

on

Taking cues from films like Paranormal Activity and The Blair Witch Project comes a new cinema verite ghost flick, Grave Encounters, which comes from directors simply known as “The Vicious Brothers”.

Starring Sean Rogerson, Merwin Mondesir, Ashleigh Gryzko, Mackenzie Gray and Juan Riedinge, the pic premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival, here’s what Johnn Marrone had to say:

The cinema verite horror pic is the latest in a tidal wave of mockumentary films that bites off so many of the “new wave” styles that unfortunately, as fun as it is at times, ends up feeling a bit more like a faded carbon copy of that which we have seen so often before.
