Description: Alex Wright, a film student, along with his friends Jennifer Parker, Trevor Thompson, Tessa Hamill, and Jared Lee, decides to create a documentary about the movie *Grave Encounters*. While most people believe the film to be fictional, Alex is convinced it’s real. He posts an online request for information about the movie and receives a message from someone named “DeathAwaits6.” This leads him to the mother of Sean Rogerson, the actor who played Lance in *Grave Encounters*. Sean’s mother believes he’s still alive, but it becomes clear she suffers from dementia and is unaware her son is dead.
Alex discovers that the cast and crew from the original film are either missing or deceased, except for the directors, The Vicious Brothers, who were interns and not directly involved. Meeting Hartfield, Alex learns that *Grave Encounters* was based on actual found footage. Alex and his friends travel to the abandoned Collingwood Mental Hospital in British Columbia, Canada, to meet DeathAwaits6. There, they find a Ouija board and use it to communicate with spirits. They soon realize their online contact is not a person but a violent paranormal entity.
As they attempt to escape, Jared is thrown out of a window, and Tessa is killed by an invisible force. The survivors manage to flee the hospital but find themselves trapped in its tunnels after the hotel elevator takes them back. They encounter Sean Rogerson, who has been trapped for over nine years, lobotomized, and driven insane. Rogerson explains the hospital’s dark history, linking it to Dr. Arthur Friedkin’s satanic experiments that merged the physical and spirit worlds. He shows them a red door, the only way out, but it’s chained shut. Using a chain cutter from Trevor’s bag, they attempt to break free.
