Creepy new trailer for acclaimed found footage flick Grave Encounters

Last Updated on July 23, 2021

Tribeca Films has just unveiled a brand new trailer for GRAVE ENCOUNTERS, the found footage horror flick that’s like an episode of “Ghost Hunters” that doesn’t suck. The trailer premiered at Comic Con last week, but it’s now here to scare the wits out of you – just be sure to crank up the volume!


Lance Preston and the crew of “Grave Encounters”, a ghost-hunting reality television show, are shooting an episode inside the abandoned Collingwood Psychiatric Hospital, where unexplained phenomena has been reported for years.


All in the name of good television, they voluntarily lock themselves inside the building for the night and begin a paranormal investigation, capturing everything on camera. They quickly realize that the building is more than just haunted – it is alive – and it has no intention of ever letting them leave. They find themselves lost in a labyrinth maze of endless hallways and corridors, terrorized by the ghosts of the former patients. They soon begin to question their own sanity, slipping deeper and deeper into the depths of madness, ultimately discovering the truth behind the hospital’s dark past…and taping what turns out to be their final episode.

GRAVE ENCOUNTERS received plenty of plaudits when it premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival earlier this year, proving that there’s still some life in the found footage subgenre.

The film hits AUGUST 25 on Video On Demand nationwide, and select theaters AUGUST 19th. If you want to “demand” it comes to your town, head on over to its official Facebook page or its official website.
