 Did you find the blairwitch project scary?
I've recently seen the blairwitch project and I dont understand why its
known as a scary movie.
There are no horror scenes and we dont really know who the blairwitch
is because we never see her during the film. We don't even know if it is
the blairwitch itself who is freaking the caracters out.
Don't give me wrong though, I liked the film a lot because its mysterious and stuff but I don't understand why people rate it as scary.

The thing that makes it scary to some people is the sense of mystery we feel, in that we don't ever see what is causing the terror in the movie. It's like when we were young, and we'd see a wierd, terrifying shadow on the wall...it's terrifying before we actually know what is causing the shadow. Imagination is often scarier then what's actually there.
This is the same technique used in many great horror films: TCM, Henry - Portrait of a Serial Killer for example. Both films show us only segments of a violent act which killed someone, but forces us to finish them in our head.
I personally don't think Blair Witch is scary, I rarely find movies scary. But I can see how many people found it creepy.

Plus if you saw it in a dark theatre with good sound then it is likely to be more scary than watching it at home with the lights on.

In England it appeared in the top ten scariest films. But then again,
the wizard of oz appeared in the top 20. Thats England for you.

I liked BWP, but the question was did I find it scary? Thats a hard one...I guess in a way I did. It was the unknown plus at the time It got away from the hollywood prototype scary and that for me at the time was a well needed thing. Nowadays i see movies like 28 Days Later which are way better and still have a fresh look into the genre. Ill have to post on 28 days later sometime I got this whole thing about the violence/non violence feel it gave me------back on topic--->When I saw BWP it was at this old classic theatre and it gave it a even more creepy feel which has left a place for that movie in my mind. Scary? Yes, if you take it in context.

i'd deffainlty say bliarwhitch is one of the most original horror movies. I dont know if i found it scary, but what it did come across to me as is deffaintly related to scary.I loved the relationship it created between you and the cast. ive only seen about 4 horror movies where the acting convinces me these people are actually scared. It just about every horror film people will be scared untill they reach a point of security, where in real life youd be going insane with fear. The hills have eyes is probably one of the best examples of this and blairwhitch being the best and most convincing

I liked watching the making of TBWP, there wasn't any strict script and those kids were actually sleeping out there with the directors doing mad stuff to freak them out.

eerie or chilling would be the word for blair witch. I liked the atmosphere alot, especially when they were yelling for josh cuz they heard someone crying out in the pitch black. great stuff. 2 was just a pile of crap hehe. Yea I agree with bf on the 'what you dont see scares you more' viewpoint.

i thought that the moive sucks. The only good part in it was the end where the girl runs down into that basment and u see the guy standing with his back to her by the wall and then boom she gets kncoked the **** out cause u know how they said the killer used to have one victim turn there face to the wall then kill the other one i thought that was very good and was this really a true story
