Case Study: Grave Encounters

After viewing and analyzing this film I came to the conclusion that Grave Encounters, a 2011 Minihan horror film, would be an appropriate choice for a case study. This film carried references to a well known film- The Blair Witch Project, this is because both are based off of found footage. The aspect of found footage and the horror genre introduces a likely audience of those that plan on experiencing paranormal activity or that are at least interested in it and seeing it in a situation close to in real time. This film was produced in Riverview Hospital located in British Columbia, being that this was a real mental hospital it ensures the plot is maintained through the extremely realistic setting. This film was released at the Tribeca Film Festival on April 22, 2011, later in June the film was released in Italy theaters where it gained international popularity.
