Grave seekers

The film begins with the producer of Grave Seekers explaining to the public why Grave Seekers, a famous television show, was unexpectedly canceled due to video footage found. The film shows the crew of the “Grave Seekers” - consists of Lance Preston, specialist Sasha Parker, technical expert Matt White, cameraman C. C. Gibson, and Houston Gray as a guest star. All of them are preparing for an investigation in an abandoned psychiatric hospital, where, according to rumors, ghosts live.

They get a tour to the hospital, as well as the opportunity to find out about a certain doctor named Arthur Fridkin, who performed experiments on patients. Fridkin was stabbed by escaped patients. The crew voluntarily locked themselves inside the building for the night and began an investigation, creating a camp in the lobby of the hospital at the entrance. Lance and his team are trying to establish contact with invisible forces, and although attempts initially fail, the group ultimately manages to find ghosts that turn out to be hostile.

It remains half an hour before they are released, unlocking the hospital door from the outside. The crew begins to assemble. Matt goes to collect the cameras, but disappears. Others spend the next few hours looking for Matt. Desperate, they break out the door to run outside, but find that behind the door is the same long corridor of the building. They do not find a way out, and understand that there should already be daylight outside. They try to escape through the roof of the building, but the stairs leading there mysteriously end with a solid wall, that is, the entrance to the upper floor is blocked. They hear a scream and run at him, thinking it is Matt screaming. They enter a room with a metal bed that moves and then takes off. Sasha asks to take a compass in her hands, which rotates randomly, which proves what T Xi later said that the building constantly rotates. Soon after, the team goes to bed in a strange room, where Lance, taking off himself, tells that they are starving, and interrupt the hunger with a dream, and shift-guard. Waking up, they find on the back of Sasha a scratched bloody message: "HELLO" ("hello").

They continue to search for Matt. First, Lance tries to contact him by walkie-talkie, telling the team that he definitely heard him. Suddenly, Matt replies “It's me,” and the stunned Lance asks if everything is normal, and he gets a strange answer: “I'm freezing,” and asking me to answer where he is, doesn't give an answer. They leave the room and go to look for him, and walking along one of the corridors, the camera goes to TSC, who says that it is pointless, but suddenly behind her, a woman runs through the corridor, and the guys strain in horror into the hall that she ran into . Upon entering, they see her back to them in the corner, saying, “Leaving her alone, not touching her, what will you get in return?”, After which she trails off, turns to the camera and her face is demonically distorted. The team runs in fear, and runs into the room and notice the loss of Houston.

He lags behind others and, wandering in one of the corridors, receives a terrifying kick from an invisible demon, flies half a corridor and falls dead. Then Lance says to the camera that Houston is missing, Matt doesn’t respond on the walkie-talkie, and terrible sounds are constantly heard through the walls, and adds that “they are not alone here”. The team falls asleep again. Having woken up, the project participants in hysterics see hospital tags on their wrists with their names, Sasha blames T Si for this, because he fell asleep. In the end, they find Matt, who is now not only crazy, but also wears a patient’s white coat, muttering stupid things about his mental illness and saying that the only way to escape from the hospital is to be cured by ghost doctors.

Ghosts continue to haunt the team. Gibson, trying to lead Matt away from a bathtub filled with blood, becomes a victim of the demon that dragged him into the bathtub. Finding no other way out, Matt kills himself by jumping into the elevator shaft while Lance and Sasha fight a demon without a tongue. Lance and Sasha go through the tunnel in search of another way, where Sasha, who began to feel bad, disappears in the fog that appeared in the corridor when Lance is sleeping. Frightened and insane, Lance continues to walk through the tunnel alone. In order not to die of hunger, he kills and eats rats. After some time, he finds the door leading to the operating room, where the altar and pentagrams for demonic rituals are located. This means that Fridkin used black magic for medical practice. Lance turns around and sees the ghost of Fridkin and several nurses. The camera goes blank for a moment, then the operated Lance reappears in the frame. He speaks the last few words of the audience, and the screen turns blue.
