The next ad I see for The Witch will be the first. -- nm - David Feb 19, 07:09 28
- I've seen several trailers, but until I saw the RT score yesterday I never expected it to be worth seeing. -- nm - Ender Feb 19, 07:14
- there's some stuff in there at chills me. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 19, 07:13 1
  - baaa -- nm - satan goat Feb 19, 07:15
- I've actually seen 1. But it seems to be getting a lot of word of mouth. Like, horror fans have been waiting for an actual good horror movie. -- nm - Jim Feb 19, 07:11 24
  - I've seen that weird goat thing hop-dancing about 3 times now and conversely it's freaked me out about 8 times. -- nm - Diva Feb 19, 07:13
  - the first time I watched the trailer, it creeped the fuck out of me. -- nm - groiny Feb 19, 07:13 22
    - yeah, the commercials for it always come on right before I go to bed and freak me out -- nm - Beaker Feb 19, 07:13 21
      - as I get older, I am much less tolerant of horror films. - groiny Feb 19, 07:15 20
        
        Same here. I can't deal with them. -- nm - Dark Callisto Feb 19, 07:24
        
        Torture porn has helped to ruin the genre. -- nm - Jim Feb 19, 07:18 14
        
        the Hostels and Touristas certainly pushed the envelope. -- nm - groiny Feb 19, 07:20
        
        agreed. I have no patience for it. It's not scary, it's fetishistic. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 19, 07:19 12
        
        I pretty much watched the above movies once, and never have to watch them again. - groiny Feb 19, 07:21
        
        I'll take that last shot in Blair Witch over any of that torture porn shit for something really terrifying. -- nm - Jim Feb 19, 07:21 10
        
        agreed wholeheartedly -- nm - Epiphany Feb 19, 07:23
        
        absolutely. one of the most chilling shots in film. (spoilers for BLAIR) - Mel Profit Feb 19, 07:23 7
        
        as I've said before, I literally ran home from the subway at one point after seeing BLAIR - Mel Profit Feb 19, 07:26 6
        
        Lol...my reaction was similar. I came home to en empty house. Came in the front door, hung up my coat - Jim Feb 19, 07:29 5
        
        everyone has a blair witch story which just shows how great that movie really was - Epiphany Feb 19, 07:36 1
        
        you would have been within your lawful rights to find those kids and beat them to death with those rocks. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 19, 07:38
        
        people who did not see that movie the first week in the theater have no idea. -- nm - groiny Feb 19, 07:30 2
        
        Heh. Saw the sneak (with Iron Giant), so I had to wait even longer for more people to see it. -- nm - Spawn Feb 19, 08:09
        
        I walked out of the theatre almost sick to my stomach. I didn't need or want to puke, but it was a similar feeling. - Shaun Feb 19, 08:04
        
        word -- nm - Beaker Feb 19, 07:22
        
        I've gotten much more selective. I enjoy a thoughtful horror movie. I find that I am much more frightened by... - Mel Profit Feb 19, 07:18 1
        
        ...puppies. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 19, 07:20
        
        This is me as well -- nm - Epiphany Feb 19, 07:18
        
        movies have changed. rather than Freddy/Michael/Jason killing people who deserve it you get creepy scary shit -- nm - Beaker Feb 19, 07:17
