How come people hate these movies but love 'The Blair Witch Project'?


I just don't understand it. These are supposed to extremely realistic snuff films and they are done really well.

For me, along with being sick, I just found the films to be rather boring. I guess I can't really explain it all that well. When it comes to disturbing movies, there is like this line mentally that some movies cross for me. August trilogy, Meghan Is Missing, Last House On The Left (1972) to name a few, were too much for me.. While movies like Hostel 1&2 and Cannibal Holocaust, I enjoyed. As far as your BWP comparison, despite both being FF movies, are very different movies. Blair witch has a creepy vibe to it and is psychological, while August is just violence and gore.

If you honestly can't see any difference between this and TBWP you are an idiot.
It's like saying "How can someone like Cloverfield but not like Cannibal Holocaust?"
