The Blair Witch project - possibly the shittiest scary movie in the world....

...Well, okay, that's a little harsh, especially because I've not actually seen every scary movie in the world, but you get my drift.

Cause today (Thursday) most of my teachers were striking, we didn't have to go school. As a result, I slept over at my best friend Daisy's house, and we had a brilliant time.


(I just had to add this in! That's Lola, the dog, and Daisy, the weirdo, both sniffing my face. Oooh, we do have some fun times~)

Anyways, seeing as we're rather strange and enjoy scaring the living hell out of ourselves, we decided to get some scary movies and watch them. The final decisions were "The Blair Witch Project", "The Devil", "Paranormal Activity" and "Paranormal Activity 2".

In the end, we didn't have enough time to watch the last one. We kind of ran out of time... but we did watch the other three!

Because it was the one that had the most mixed reviews, we decided to start with the Blair Witch. The Talkative One (aka Laura, aka the strange girl in my profile picture next to me) watched it a couple of weeks ago and told us that it was appallingly bad. We decided to watch and judge for ourselves.

We so should not have bothered.

The thing that really gets me, if we're honest, is how her hair, throughout the entire movie, stayed wonderfully immaculate and neat, and also how there never seemed to be any mud on her face or hands. I have spent quite a lot of my childhood hiking through woods, and no one ever comes out of there looking like they should be in a photo shoot.

Especially not if they're supposedly being chased by a witch.

Well, alright, I'm glad we watched it, even if it's only so I can say I've seen it. And it wasn't so bad we wanted to turn it off half way through. There just seemed to be too much walking and complaining and shouting for my liking, and not enough seeing them getting spooked.

(Also, and this is genuine interest, what did she find in that bundle? You know, just after Josh goes missing and they find the twigs all tied up outside their tent and then she unwraps it (fool) and inside is that thing that looks like a hell of a lot of blood and she starts screaming and hyperventilating? Yeah, that. What is it?)

But the bit in the house was quite creepy. Especially with all the yells coming upstairs and the cuts in the wall and shit.... (Although me & Daisy did ruin it by going "Eh, she needs to do some housework, this Blair Witch!")

So yeah. If you want to get a scary movie - I don't recommend any of the ones up there. I'm really easy to scare and even I was fine watching them.

Pffft, fail.

(Mind you, Blair Witch would be scary if you believed it was real. But I don't, and therefore it isn't.)
