A seriously creepy movie

Rating: 10/10 (24 July 1999)

Very few horror movies, in my opinion, are genuinely scary.
There are a lot of gross-outs, a lot of blood-baths, and a lot of attempts to push back the shock barrier (you know, "I've never seen anything as gross as -that- before!"), but personally none of them really scare me particularly.
They just aren't believable, so all the buckets of blood and climactic gross-outs are just a waste of ketchup.
The people in them don't talk or behave the way real people talk, the premises are (mostly) unexplained and unbelievable.
Imagine you're in a car wreck on an untravelled road. One minute you're driving along, the next you're in shock lying on the side of the road, pinned under your car, horribly injured, dying.
Really, it's the scariest f___ing thing imaginable. Knowing there's nothing you can do, you're going to die.
The Blair Witch Project is scary like that; genuinely f___ing scary.
