The thing with the Blair Witch Project for me is the lack of a boundary between film and viewer. I saw it at the cinema and was totally caught up in the chilling atmosphere - i mean seriously, can you get any scarier than being stalked through deep woodland by an unknown entity in the dead of night?! It was so realistic it completely threw me. I still love it to this day.

A shout out to the following:

The Haunting of Hell House
Rec
The Exorcist
Suspiria
Nosferatu
Original Texas Chainsaw
The Strangers (that film really shocked me)

god damn it, anyway it was Jacob's Ladder

Mine is Don't Look Now, but that might change when I watch Carnival of Souls.

Carnival of Souls has a great atmosphere and is a cult gem but nowhere near as good as Don't Look Down.

about time somebody actually agrees with me on the blair witch. . .

I think movies like Blair Witch, Scream, I know what you did last summer and so on rely even more than usual on the audience's ability to connect with the characters. If that connection works, the movies become very spooky, but if it doesn't work, the movies get much less spooky.

I mean - I didn't really connect with the characters in Blair Witch. I didn't connect with the characters in the Evil Dead either, but that movie scared me more than Blair Witch because the connection with the characters is less important.

i agree with what your saying about connection between the characters and the person watching it, i can see how it would scare some people than, so you are saying that i must of connected really good with them huh lol

Hopefully that's just a misspelling. :(

spelling looks fine, ha

Then that's bull****, Don't Look Down sucked ebola-infested monkey ****.
