Blair Witch still scares me senseless, all of the things you guys mentioned on B2...and I'd love a prequel.

Posted by Mel Profit (aka Mel Profit) Jul 10 '09, 13:13

and they had a great concept for a prequel when they did that special show on Sci-fi talking about the guy who owned the house which was the set of the last scene in the movie and how he killed all the kids save for one. Had they done a movie around that it would have been excellent.

Responses:

Last 10 minutes scared me shitless, the rest of the movie was good -- nm - amoxy Jul 10, 13:37
it was so frickin' boring. the whole time I was scratching my head wondering how anyone could be scared by it. -- nm - zork Jul 10, 13:21 37
- People who need to see the shark in Jaws are the people who hated to Blair. - Mel Profit Jul 10, 13:25 31
  - When the hot chick (spoils) - amoxy Jul 10, 13:43 7
    - Spawn thinks it's about her drowning... -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 10, 13:44 6
      - Jaws is a perfect film. It sets it up, has follow through, and resolution. -- nm - Spawn Jul 10, 13:47 3
        
        and the right balance of suspense vs. things happening. Has everyone seen Duel? -- nm - zork Jul 10, 13:48 1
        
        Duel is great -- nm - con_carne Jul 10, 13:49
        
        All becuase Spielberg had to salvage a fubar. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 10, 13:47
      - Spawn is a dork -- nm - amoxy Jul 10, 13:46 1
        
        heh - Epiphany Jul 10, 13:53
  - I love you, but this is incorrect. -- nm - Diva Jul 10, 13:35 6
    - Thank you. -- nm - Spawn Jul 10, 13:40 1
      - "L5!" -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 10, 13:41
    - It goes to what scares people. - Mel Profit Jul 10, 13:39 3
      - I would agree with this for the most part except that I didn't find anything in BW scary. I wouldn't even - Diva Jul 10, 13:48

        I had the same thing happen when I was talking about The Ruins and I mentioned...Duel. - Mel Profit Jul 10, 13:46
  - Hardly. The shark was actually doing something. -- nm - Spawn Jul 10, 13:26 12
    - you lack imagination. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 10, 13:27 11
      - I guess so if that includes pretending that The Blair Witch was scary. -- nm - Spawn Jul 10, 13:29 10
        
        hey it's Ok if you need sto be scared by something with teeth and such. - Mel Profit Jul 10, 13:31 9
        
        /me holds up a stick figure to scare you -- nm - Spawn Jul 10, 13:34 8
        
        now think about you sleeping and something that doesn't like you putting it on your pillow. - Mel Profit Jul 10, 13:36 6
        
        The stick figure is angry about being put on my pillow? -- nm - Spawn Jul 10, 13:37 2
        
        you're proving my point that you have no imagination. - Mel Profit Jul 10, 13:40 1
        
        I get what you are saying, it is just if it is something I can kill, I will not allow myself to be frightened. - Spawn Jul 10, 13:46
        
        as you're both here, heading away again tomorrow, just a couple days. All mining off and just gold production. -- nm - Beaker Jul 10, 13:36 2
        
        vacation mode maybe? -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 10, 13:43
        
        Is this in the Blair Witch sequel that I never saw? - Spawn Jul 10, 13:38
        
        "My god - it's full of stars!" -- nm - Beryllium Jul 10, 13:34
  - oh I agree that the best parts of Jaws were when you didn't see it -- nm - zork Jul 10, 13:26 2
    - Perhaps I'm reading too much snark into this, but when you say "it", do you mean the entire film? :) -- nm - Beryllium Jul 10, 13:27 1
      - i'm saying that Spielberg did suspense well (see also Duel) and BW was crap -- nm - zork Jul 10, 13:31
- blurry photographs scare me... -- nm - colinski Jul 10, 13:23
- Say, when's the next time you're going camping? -- nm - Beryllium Jul 10, 13:22
- They could have cut out a half hour and it would have been a bit better. -- nm - Spawn Jul 10, 13:22 2
  - for me, they would have to cut the whole thing to make it better -- nm - zork Jul 10, 13:22 1
    - I can agree. If it is something that I can actually kick it's ass, I am not going to be that impressed. -- nm - Spawn Jul 10, 13:36
*nods* -- nm - Inigo Jul 10, 13:21
I'm with Mel, btw. Scared shitless. A movie's never done that to me before or since. -- nm - Mop (still 235lbs... on a good day) Jul 10, 13:18
The prequel was supposed to be the premise for Blair Witch 3, but after Book of Shadows, it all got dumped. -- nm - Mop (still 235lbs... on a good day) Jul 10, 13:17 1
- I can imagine and that's a shame...the Sci-Fi prequel special was pretty frightening on it's own. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 10, 13:23
It scares me some, but I really just find it very enjoyable to watch. I'll stop on it if it's on almost every time. - TFox Jul 10, 13:16 12
- Is it the kind of movie that wouldn't be as scary watching it for the first time now? - kelly Jul 10, 13:18 11
  - It sort of depends on how much you can empathise with fictional characters. -- nm - Reagen Jul 10, 13:21 1
    - It also helps if you understand that the Witch is messing with them physically and mentally from the beginning. -- nm - Inigo Jul 10, 13:23
  - That is why we saw the sneak of it. Still was no big. I mean, it was a cool concept, but was just okay. - Spawn Jul 10, 13:21
  - Watch it at night with the lights off, and try to keep in mind it's 'real.' - JaxSean Jul 10, 13:20
  - That's probably true for some people, but I think it's more just that it's not for everyone. - TFox Jul 10, 13:20 6
    - I don't like scary movies, so I was kinda hoping for "yeah, not the same effect now" - I'd probably watch it now if that was the case. - kelly Jul 10, 13:24 5
      - Two things: there is no moment where you'll go "oh lord, I can never unsee that!" - TFox Jul 10, 13:25 4
        
        I can see this but the very oppositething happened to me... - Mel Profit Jul 10, 13:33
        
        I would disagree with your first thought as has already been talked about here. spoil - Spawn Jul 10, 13:30 1
        
        If you get that far, then you've obviously committed to seeing it out. - TFox Jul 10, 13:32
        
        Okay, thanks. -- nm - kelly Jul 10, 13:25
It didn't scare me until the very last shot. -- nm - lileve Jul 10, 13:14 1
- readingt the proposed alternate endings, some of which sounded interesting, made me realize none the less how creepy it was. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 10, 13:26
