10 years?? I dont think so

Ok so in the movie alex says to lance (sean) that he's been missing for ten years.
In GE 1 the crew of grave encounters made the TV series in 2010/11 or thats what it says on the camera atleast. So when sean thinks he's only been missing for 9 months why so? even if you are mad, 9 months and ten years are easy to tell apart.
Also it would add so much more to the movie, to both movies even if GE 1 had only been filmed say a year before hand. It was mentioned in GE 2 that kenny the caretaker had killed himself 8 years prior. but if sean has been missing for ten that means kenny really did lock them in. But if Kenny had been dead for 8 years and was being interviewed....seems a whole lot scarier! Either way I just wanted someone to clarify this whole TEN YEAR thing as since watching both movies, I could 100% enjoy them with this little thing hanging over it.

Yeah I didn't like those parts where they mention the years.

It would've been better if 10 years passed inside the building while only 9-12 months past in the real world or something like that.

That's actually a damn cool, spooky suggestion...

that makes a lot more sense than what the filmmakers did.... in the first film, it's established they enter another dimension, or something, cause time is *beep* up there; their food rotted in hours, the sun never came up, etc etc....
in this second one, you see lance has a time chart of how long he was in there... even if his calendar was off, it wouldn't be off by 9 years... the filmmakers should've had his timeline counting 10 years, while 9-10 months passed in the real world....
i mean, even in life, ten years after a film comes out, the hype is long gone... after The Blair Witch Project (1999) came out, sure they sold t-shirts and hats and mugs and all kinds of *beep* The Matrix (1999) too... a decade later, what sort of hype is there left? even for a die hard fan, who would, after a decade, buy that matrix samsung phone? or go looking for the blair effing witch?
and finally, the scummy producer sure as $h!t doesn't look a decade older...

It's mercy, compassion and forgiveness I lack. Not rationality...

Time doesn't pass at the same speed inside that building than outside. It's kinda like the dreams within dreams from INCEPTION. Or the DIGI-WORLD.

I think its the other way around, 8 months has passed inside while outside its 10 years remember its another dimension.

Problem is, Lance says he's been there for 9 months, so you know time isn't the same in the hospital (because he seems to keep track of the days on the wall) yet later on he says something about how 10 years in the hospital can change someone. So... Yeah, really bad movie.

later he says 10 years because he was told it was 10 years

i've got feelings too, ya know - inbetweeners

Time is different inside the asylum just like the layout of the place. Ten months real world = ten years asylum world.

I thought the date was from when the footage was edited? not from when they actually made the programme

Jerry Hartfield, at the beginning of the first film said that the series pilot of Grave Encounters was years before any other ghost hunting show. I don't know for sure if Ghost Hunters was the first, but IMDb says that it started in 2004. In GE2 Alex said that the caretaker killed himself 8 years ago. Also, after they got in the asylum, and Alex was giving his intro speech to his film on the stairs he said "It was March 20, 2002..." So that would make the talk with Sean/Lance about it being 9 years correct. The cameras said it was Dec. 2011, so at the end Lance/Sean said 10 yrs. because he was just rounding up a little. I don't know what any of the dates on the cameras in the first one were since I watched a copy on Youtube and it looked like some of the frame was cut off, so I never saw any. Though the filming was filmed supposedly in 2002 it wasn't released then, we don't know when it was found, but was released in 2011, this is why all the reviews at the beginning of GE2 were new and the buzz for the movie was fresh.

Like someone said it would have made more sense if the time was longer in the asylum than out. But my question is, if Sean/Lance never saw the sun, how did he know when a day passed. His watch wouldn't still be working.
