Greatest Horror Movie Ever???

[Its a Plant]

Blair Witch was good because nothing like it had been done before. I don't think it was meant to be scary as in 'pop out from behind a tree' scary, but rather the entire setting and mood of it all just plays with your head. It's definitely eerie though, and that's what makes it so good. The feeling it gives you is all too real because for the most part, most of the movie is not acted out - it's real. The ending is the only part that was obviously staged and set-up, but other than that, all the movie producers did was give those 3 up-and-coming actors cameras and set them out on location. The producers were the ones making those noises and playing the 'little children chatter' and so on, but the actors didn't know it, so that's why they all give such a convincing performance. I just love how their emotions all spiral out of control by the end, and they're so strung out from it all - it's amazing to watch.

That's just my view on it, but for those that say it's not a good horror movie, or just a good movie period, never gave it a chance from the beginning. It isn't a typical 'abrupt loud noise and scary monster' type-movie, so don't expect that. It's a very real, spooky kind of art that I dig. ~

I dont go to movies to watch reality, I go to movies to escape from reality. I don't care how "realistic" was, it didn't do anything for me

blair witch fucked with my head
that movie was good

Dude, saw that the other day. Its intense while your watching it, especially high, but i was really disappointed in the end. The whole movie i was waiting for this scary ass moment, but it never really came. Wtf was i supposed to see in that one scene where looks like theres something wrapped around the tent??? And wtf happens in the end, one guys just standing in the corner....w...t...f.

Remember the legend of the Blair witch they tell in the movie, where she had all the little kids stand facing a corner while they were killed one at time? Eh? Ring a bell?

And fik - I think that the realism of it makes it so good-because it is as close to reality as possible, it spooks us out and plays with your imagination. It's actually something that's a lot more believable than a movie like "ghosts of mars." Haha, Ice Cube was in that one I think. ~

While it's true that reality can be quite enjoyable at times, I have a lot more fun creating alternate realities. Be it through drugs, music, film, writing, even traveling to new places gives you a certain type of high. But I know what I like and I like what I know and I didnt like Blair witch.
