Blair witch - Intended directors cut

Wasn't there some bit in this where they are arguing and they go "wheres the map??" and one guy says "I threw it in the creek". It just cracked me up, switched it off and never saw the end.
 
I saw this in the cinema with friends when it came out, the old Odeon in Newcastle.

It honestly bored me to tears, I wasn't the only one either. The entire room turned into random groups talking, it's the only time I've ever witnessed the lights get switched on half way through a film. Nobody seemed even remotely interested, possibly a combination of the hype and the god awful found footage style being a turn off for many.

It's more the psychological effect hits people in different ways. Have any horrors scared you or does it not effect you in that way?

I was only 14 at the time I saw it and it was a friend's Birthday. Afterwards we went pizza hut then stayed over at his house. Annoyingly, his parents house was in the middle of nowhere and his back garden was literally like its own woods itself. Safe to say, none of us slept that night due to antics, N64 Goldeneye and everyone secretly being terrified but didn't want to own up to basically ******* themselves, haha!

Was only recently on a reunion that it was brought up and everyone admitted it scared the pants off of them. :D

Funnily enough, I think the Sixth Sense came out in the same year? That gave me some sleepless nights afterwards, although my mother had me quite late in her life and was going through the menopause at the time. She'd randomly seem to switch personality, even ran into my bedroom at 3am once while I was asleep and screamed at me like a lunatic about my TV being on, ranted about how she knew I was lying because there was a supposed "white dot" in the middle of the screen. It made that one scene where the kid goes into the kitchen thinking it's his mom seem pretty relatable at the time, I think I was 14-15 maybe?

I love horror movies but found-footage is a big nope from me as it always looks silly, and I think a lot of the people in the area I grew up in held similar opinions at the time, perhaps a semi-cultural thing? I don't know, found footage movies never do it for me either way, and Blaire Witch honestly bored me to tears. It's a little weird because I do prefer psychological and especially slow burn horror.
