Oh, dear...
The first time I saw The Blair Witch Project I was at the cinema. I suppose enjoyed it, but it didn't have any great impact.

The second time I saw it, though, it was on TV. I was at home, with the lights on. Maybe because I knew what was coming, it scared the living bejeezus out of me. I don't want to see it a third time.

admittedly
it made me hestiant to camp in forests, but if they'd just followed the river downstream they'd never have got lost.

Someone once asked me...
...when was the most scared you have ever been in your life?

To which i replyed, probably the first time i saw the Blair Witch Project in the cinema.

I swear it made my nipples go erect in pure fear

it scared me
that such a piece of crap could be made and called a film

It never scared me when I first saw it...
But several months after, walking past some skeletal trees (it was winter), the image of the hanging stick bits made me TOTALLY FREAK!

The only other time I was watching it, just as the end bit was approaching - the significant other decided that was the time to drunkenly arrive at mine, and not having the hand/eye co-ordination to use her key, decided to knock on the window.

New shorts please...

I saw that with the ex
and as we lived in the wilds of nowhere and spent a fair bit of time in his family's woods cutting down trees or gathering nuts (I sound like a bloody squirrel) I had the same opinion as CHCB...follow the river! Couldn't see why it was supposed to be scary.


Until I was taking photographs in the woods on my own one day and each crack of the branches above my head in the wind terrified the living daylights out of me.

Pfft!
I've seen scarier episodes of Coronation street than that film. It was just annoying with that girls snotty sniffling face in the screen all the time.

Saw it at the flicks
The crappy hand-held camera work just made me feel slightly queasy.

Saw it again on TV a few years later. The crappy hand-held camera work just made me switch off...

Overhyped rubbish IMHO.
