The movie is told in flashback form by John, who is in the hospital, being questioned by police as to what happened to his friends. He's a suspect in their murders, even though no bodies have been found.
The movie is mostly told via P.O.V. footage from the cameras the group brought into the building. It's strange that the police think John is a suspect since the footage shows he was not at the scene when his friends died.
In fact, John excused himself before they started the investigation. He and Tess were planning to scare the others by having John coming back to the asylum around 3am to make noises. Seems like a stupid idea for multiple reasons, including that this is work for their thesis. Also questionable is that when John leaves he padlocks everyone else in for the night. God forbid there should be a fire or medical emergency where they actually need to leave the building.
Unintentional humor is caused when the group attempts to leave due to the spirit activity and can't find a way out. As they sit at base camp and discuss the problem, in the background there two air conditioners in the windows, one of which appears to have blue painters tape around it to keep out drafts.
Another movie where people go looking for ghosts, then freak out and run away when something scary happens.
