Blair Witch freaked me and my sister out completely when we saw it in the theatre, but I have no desire to see it again, due to the suspicion I will no longer be freaked out but annoyed.
If every vampire who said he was at the crucifixion was actually there, it would have been like Woodstock.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
It sounds like The Ring. I was freaked out while watching it, and then the feeling disappeared almost instantly as soon as the credits rolled.
I also couldn't watch Blair Witch due to shaky-cam.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I was the reverse. I didn't start being made uncomfortable by The Ring until about 20 minutes after the movie ended, almost entirely about what the mother did to free her son.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I was freaked out while watching it, and then I was even more freaked out being in a dark, quiet house.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
My computer's sluggish and I don't have the patience to page through the whole list. Would someone please tell me what was #1?

Though really, my favorite Ring story is from a con, when we watched a very creepy Ring vid, and then half the room decided they had to show it to someone else within seven days. And then people started wondering if pets counted.

Punishingly Intricate
Blair Witch scared the bejesus out of me. I loved it.
It also scared my bejesus and I HATED it. See also The Ring. I couldn't sleep for days after seeing it.
I don't really like horror movies like that where the protagonists can't really fight whatever the source of the horror is.
