History Film / GraveEncounters2

* AlienGeometries: The sequel amps this UpToEleven, [[spoiler: and it's explained that the hospital is bigger than a city, and changes in complicated patterns that can be discerned if you're there long enough.]] There's a few of the same geometric oddities from the first film [[spoiler: plus a hole in a ''wall'' breaking into the ''ceiling'' of a hallway, a door blatantly opened and closed to reveal that the destination changes, and a seemingly-successful escape which ends in a hotel elevator (miles away from the hospital) opening into the underground tunnels]]. Holy ''hell.''

** Immediately after the above, the elevator reaches the lobby of the hotel but when the doors open, the lobby isn't there. It's the underground tunnels of the hospital. They never escaped the hospital...

* DownerEnding: [[spoiler: Alex survives and is set free, but his friends and Lance have all been killed (his girlfriend by his own hand), and he finishes his film and puts out a huge piece of ShmuckBait to get other people to go to the hospital to ensure that there will be more victims. Why? Because he'd be yanked straight back into the DarkWorld if he didn't do it.]]

* AttackOfTheMonsterAppendage: Like the previous film, there's a sequence where a monster grapples Trevor when they open a window. This time, however, the example is Type 2 as the beast climbs in through the window and chases them.

* ConspicuousCG: The first film avoids this - what little CG is used looks pretty convincing. ''Grave Encounters 2,'' though, does have a few instances of this trope during the second half, namely [[spoiler:the first floating camera making an almost cartoonish bulge as it falls back into the bag (the floating cameras in general might be this trope, as well), and the portal breaking though the wall at the very end.]]
* [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Corrupt Executive Producer]]: The Producer that released the original film admits to Alex that he originally was scared to death of the footage from the original, but decided to release the film and pay off the families of Lance and his crew because he needed money and was nearly bankrupt. He had a bunch of interns claim to be the actors, and only told Alex this because he knows Alex has no proof. [[spoiler: He also willingly releases the second film, this time stating it is fake and pretending none of it happened in reality.]]

* StageNames: Lance Preston apparently isn't his real name; it was a stage name he told everyone was his real name and his real name is Sean Rogerson (the actor who plays him). So we have a fun in-universe example of a stage name where an actor is playing himself who is playing a different character.

* YearInsideHourOutside: Possibly the case for [[spoiler: Lance]], who insists it's been nine ''years'' he's been trapped in the hospital.
* YouCantGoHomeAgain: [[spoiler: Lance]] has been in the hospital for almost nine years and has never found a way out, and if the lack of the first crew and the second movie are any indication between each other; once you go in, the hospital will only let you leave if it wants you to, and it likely will not.

* DownerEnding: [[spoiler: Alex survives and is set free, but his friends have all been killed (his girlfriend by his own hand), and he finishes his film and puts out a huge piece of ShmuckBait to get other people to go to the hospital to ensure that there will be more victims. Why? Because he'd be yanked straight back into the DarkWorld if he didn't do it.]]

''Grave Encounters 2'', the sequel to ''Film/GraveEncounters'', takes place 9 months after the last film. Alex, a young film student who believes the first movie was real, goes to investigate the hospital where Lance and his crew were attacked. In tow is his friends, Jennifer, Trevor, Tessa, and Jared. Unfortunately, just like Lance's crew before them, Alex and his friends become victims to the horrid frights of those whom still inhabit the hospital...

* InfantImmortality: Averted in the scene where an infant is shown being sacrificed by the doctor's ritual.
** The crew of the sequel also stumble across a children's' room in the hospital... which is occupied by the ghost of a young girl.

* AlienGeometries: The sequel amps this UpToEleven, [[spoiler: and it's explained that the hospital is bigger than a city, and changes in complicated patterns that can be discerned if you're there long enough.]] There's a few of the same geometric oddities from the first film [[spoiler: plus a hole in a ''wall'' breaking into the ''ceiling'' of a hallway, a door blatantly opened and closed to reveal that the destination changes, and a seemingly-successful escape which ends in a hotel elevator (miles away from the hospital) opening into the underground tunnels.]] Holy ''hell.''

** A very brutal one happens towards the end of the film. The new group [[spoiler:actually gets out of the hospital and makes it back to their hotel (minus two friends), and after gathering their stuff rides the hotel elevator down to the lobby... only for elevator to bring them right back to the hospital.]]

* SanitySlippage: [[spoiler: Lance has pretty much totally lost it in nine years]].

* TheEndOrIsIt: [[spoiler:Alex has escaped and completed his film, but now there's reason for other folks to get curious and seek out the hospital.]]

--->'''Trevor''': (while crying) I keep waking up and I'm here. I'm recording a fucking will. I'm fucking 21 years old I don't wanna fucking die. I just wanna go home.

* YearInsideHourOutside: Possibly the case for [[spoiler: Lance]], who insists it's only nine ''months'' he's been trapped in the hospital.

''Grave Encounters 2'', the sequel to ''Film/GraveEncounters'', takes place 9 years after the last film. Alex, a young film student who believes the first movie was real, goes to investigate the hospital where Lance and his crew were attacked. In tow is his friends, Jennifer, Trevor, Tessa, and Jared. Unfortunately, just like Lance's crew before them, Alex and his friends become victims to the horrid frights of those whom still inhabit the hospital...

*** Sean also says this at one point.

* YouCantGoHomeAgain: [[spoiler: Sean]] has been in the hospital for almost nine years and has never found a way out, and if the lack of the first crew and the second movie are any indication between each other; once you go in, the hospital will only let you leave if it wants you to, and it likely will not.
** There's a rather heartbreaking scene where Trevor is in a bathroom stall and starts recording a last will and testament, only to break down and realize this. [[spoiler: Sadly, moments later, he's killed by Sean.]]

--->'''Sean'''[[spoiler:: Do you realize what nine years in here can do to a person?! I just want to go home.]]
