Scream was a slap in the face of sorts to certain genre fans with its making fun of certain aspects of horror, and the film really wasn't all that thrilling. The "hip" attitude really got on my nerves, and I just found the film to be an overall weak experience. I have seen the film a few times...
Haha, okay, here are some: Return of the Living Dead II Interview with the Vampire Dreamcatcher Prom Night Feardotcom Bride of Frankenstein Ghost Ship Scream Motel Hell Maniac Cop Fade to Black Gothika Poltergeist Psycho (1998) Dressed to Kill Sometimes They Come Back It...
Heh, sorry about the spoilers. Putting a warning up completely slipped my mind. I'll edit one in. Glad to see we are actually in agreeance for a change, John. :D Tino, there actually are several horror films that I don't like, as hard to believe as that may be. ;) I try and focus more on the...
**Blair Witch & Session 9 SPOILERS AHEAD** For me, the fact that we never see the villain at all is what makes it so effective. I know something is there in Blair Witch because of the noises, the assault on the tent, the disappearance of Josh, and the finding of his tongue and teeth. If it...

There's nothing wrong with liking Blair Witch. I personally think its one of the top 5 greatest horror films ever made. Don't let the haters in this thread make you feel like you need to feel low about it and compare it to something like Killjoy, which while you may like, it is so very better...
I knew it was fake going in and it still scared me shitless. Its the only movie that has ever terrified me to the extent of not being able to sleep, and sometimes when I do sleep, I have nightmares about the film. Its so great when a movie can scare you that much.
I actually really liked and identified with the characters in Blair Witch. Even if I hadn't though, the film still would've scared the hell out of me. To this day I still have trouble bringing myself to watch the film at times. In my opinion, it is the film that has best used the fear of the...
Not many films have ever scared me, but I don't have to be scared to love a horror film. Still, the scariest film I have ever seen is The Blair Witch Project. Perfect use of the fear and terror of the unknown. Anyways, they do still make scary films today. Just because some films don't scare you...
