THIS MOVIE WORKS ON THE PRINCIPLE OF THE UNSEEN,AND IN MY OPINION DOES IT TO ALMOST PERFECTION. THE ARGUING DOES GET TEDIOUS,BUT HOW WOULD YOU REACT IN THE SAME SITUATION? ARE ANY OF YOU ANY LESS ANNOYING? JUDGING BY YOUR COMMENTS,I WOULD SAY SOME OF YOU ARE MORE SO. "CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST",DID IT BETTER? NOT UNLESS YOUR JUST A GOREHOUND LOOKING FOR BODILY DISMEMBERMENT. THERE IS ABSOLUTLY NOT A SHRED OF FEAR OR HORROR IN THAT MOVIE. IT IS PURE SHOCK VALUE. I DO LIKE IT FOR WHAT IT OFFERS BUT THERE SHOULD BE NO COMPARISON. NOR SHOULD THERE BE WITH "THE EXORCIST". IT STANDS AS PROBABLY THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME. BUT "BLAIR WITCH" WILL BE IN THE TOP 50. IF YOU ARE INTO THE SHOCK VALUE OR CLICHED,YOU WILL NOT GET IT. YOU ARE THE HORROR GEEKS WHO GREW UP ON FANGORIA,AND STILL GET EXCITED WHEN A NEW "FRI.THE 13TH" IS ANNOUNCED. I WAS ONCE THAT SAME PERSON,BUT I GREW UP AND REALIZED THERE WAS A LOT MORE GOING ON. I WANTED THE SAME FEAR AS THE FIRST TIME I WATCHED THE ORIGINAL "HAUNTING", OR WHEN MICHAEL MYERS WAS CROSSING THE STREET TO THE STRODE HOUSE. THESE FEARS ARE FEW AND FAR BETWEEN NOWADAYS,WITH EVERYTHING BEING A REHASH OF "SCREAM".
THE 10:
THE EXORCIST
FRANKENSTEIN
THE HAUNTING
PSYCHO
NOSFERATU
SUSPIRIA
HALLOWEEN
NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD
I WILL LEAVE THE LAST TWO BLANK. I HAVE MY CHOICES BUT I WILL LEAVE IT TO YOUR IMAGINATION,WHICH WAS THE WHOLE POINT OF "THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT".
