10 Most Twisted Asylum Horror Movies

10. Grave Encounters

Realistically, Grave Encounters and Grave Encounters 2 could both be included here in this list, but this time it's the Vicious Brothers' first GE picture taking the spotlight.

An abandoned asylum-set found footage offering, 2011's Grave Encounters centred on paranormal TV presenter Lance Preston and his crew as they explore the eerie Collingwood Psychiatric Hospital for an upcoming episode of their Grave Encounters show.

Of course, a night spent in this spooky location brings way more terror and supernatural shenanigans than Preston and Co. could've hoped for, and the group's endless walking down dead-end corridors eventually results in them becoming patients of Collingwood themselves.

For those who got off lightly, they become unhinged, unstable and deranged, but a particularly gnarly fate is waiting for Lance Preston, with him attacked by demonic nurses and lobotomised. By the time of Grave Encounters 2 a year later, a bunch of fans of the GE TV show decide to venture into Collingwood, where they find a nuts, murderous Lance stalking the asylum's halls.

Considering the found footage subgenre was on its arse by 2011, Grave Encounters - and, to a lesser extent, its sequel - showed that it was still possible to put together a genuinely good found footage offering.
