Sometimes there’s
just no way you can prepare yourself for what’s coming. However much you read
and hear about it. Like The Blair Witch
Project which I first saw featured on a list of the greatest film endings
ever. Chilling, the article said, horrifying.
At 19, I thought
that’s all I needed to dismiss the hysteria and take on the devil himself. But
no, it didn’t work out that way, and after all these years I’d still argue that
Blair Witch has the single most chilling
ending I’ve ever seen. One thought of those final sequences makes it jump out of my mouth. Makes me regret
ever agreeing to watch that film.
And yet with horror
films – regret is part of the charm.
