Just watched Red Letter Medias Re-View of Blair Witch Project. it was good, but something they go over near the end infuriates me.
"This is a horror film, so here’s the big question: Is it scary?"
This is bullshit. Movies are movies. They aren’t real. I haven’t felt scared while watching a movie since I was around 9*. So to say a horror film fails because you weren’t scared is stupid. A better question, if you wanna go that route, is: "Is this situation scary?"
A side note- I was satisfied with their response to their own dumb question.
*= Ju-On. That movie scared me while I was watching at age 24 and even more so after it was over. There’s an exception to every rule.
