Yep, great movie. A piece of my childhood right there. 80s Hollywood really knew how to do children's fantasy movies.

Paranormal Activity 3 is really good, but I've heard terrible stuff about Apollo 18

I don't hate the amateur camera-work look of those movies. I thought Cloverfield and Diary of the Dead were both pretty good, both are intense movies. On the other hand, the ones that started this whole craze, The Blair Witch Project movies, were terrible. As was Paranormal Activity. Haven't watched the sequels to Paranormal Activity, though. I hated the Blair Witches and Paranormal Activity for the same reasons: Nothing freaking happens until the very end. They're boring.

Watch [REC], Grave Encounters or The Poughkeepsie Tapes, those are found-footage films that are entertaining throughout the whole thing. Paranormal Activity 2 and 3 are really good though.

This is My Life. Good.

Dylan Dog: Dead of Night. Has its moments, but otherwise meh.

Red Hook, a cheap horror film. Meh.

Cloverfield and Diary of the Dead are terrible.

the original Blair Witch is excellent. Perhaps it's lost something of the excitement that surrounded it when everyone thought it was real, but it's still a damn great film. It's not about action, it's about atmosphere. I guess I prefer that because to me shit that's all action and no atmosphere (see: most superhero movies) is what's really boring. The second gets a bad rap, mostly because it's totally different. But again, it's a good stand-alone film.

Blair Witch Project ranks right up there with Brainscan as one of my favorite horror flicks of the 90's. IT'S BRILLIANT!

Blair Witch Project 2 was actually surprisingly scary to me, despite being a bit tackier than the original. I watch horror flicks daily, and it's rare that a film actually gets to me like that. So kudos to the much-unsung Blair Witch 2: Book of Shadows for being effectively creepy.

I actually managed to pick up the Blair Witch Experience boxset a few years back, it came complete with both films, an official 'stick-man' necklace, and even the PC games (which I've never bothered booting up, but are quite cool to have nonetheless).
