Yeah, Blair Witch never showed anything, and the part where they were at the house was wayyy scary. I'd agree that it's better at what it does than Cloverfield.

I was thinking about the possibilities of that closing scene for nights upon nights in a row! It's frightening what the human imagination can come up with.

It was well over a year ago when I stayed up all night thinking about the movie, but I do remember myself as part of the three individuals that got lost in the woods and what it would be like just to feel so much terror, and how maybe they'd imagine the whole thing, like they went crazy or something but the movie never tells you that they did. Like maybe fear put the images in their systems, and maybe they were lucid with hallucinations, and how there's never any closure - there's never any hope for these characters. They're going to die, they know it, and then they do die. Heck, they DISAPPEAR - nobody knows whether they died or not. Like, what's the Blair Witch DOING with them?

It's just about the most frightening movie I've ever seen because it keeps me thinking. I don't care how many Scary Movie spoofs there are, that movie will ever frighten me. The SCREAMING at the end sends shivers up my spine.

I really gotta watch it again, I remember thinking it was stupid when I watched it at 7. Now Blair Witch Project 2 was truly horrible. But the first one seems like it needs a rainy night viewing all alone in the woods.

When you were 7? Understandable. I mean, first you're asking why this movie doesn't have any monsters, instead just people crying and screaming when there's nothing going on, and the shaky camera - what's that all about? I can see myself watching this at 7 years old and passing it off as a bad episode of Goosebumps (Canadian joke). At 7 you don't think about what the characters are thinking about - it's hard to create pyschological profiles at that age.

So do watch it again now that you know why you're watching it.

Yeah, it was just on when I was hangin with my dad one night. It was late too, or at least for a 7 year old it was. So I'm just sittin up and watchin some chick run through the woods with a camera and I'm like "dude wtf is this right here". Thing is I used to live in the country back in the day, so if I still did I think this movie would scare the bajesus out of me.

Also, Goosebumps is super cheesy, but when I was around that age I used to go to my nana's with my cousin and we'd go to Blockbuster to get some tapes. Is Canadian Goosebumps different from American Goosebumps? Because I don't wanna be mistaken.

Oh man, Goosebumps was awesome! I can only remember one episode though, where that guy was growing some kind of mutant plant in his basement and feeding his kids some of it.

Hah! I thought Goosebumps was a Canadian show because it was HUGE here when i was a kid, I even read the books published by Scholastic. Fond memories. That show used to scare the dino Jesus out of me.
