Nah, that’s probably the most valid possible reason not to be interested in him lol

That’s alright, as long as he isn’t still with his baby mama!

Blair Witch was kind of an unusual case, because it was one of the first really successful found footage horror movies, and one of the first movies to play with the ARG-style viral marketing campaign. As you say, horror is subjective, but a huge part of why Blair Witch had such a reputation for being so scary was because of the context surrounding it, not the movie itself. It’s very slow, meandering, and contains almost no actual scares. The scary part is meant to be in convincing you that it’s a real thing that happened, or at least getting you to believe it could have happened, even if you know it didn’t really. Plus between the shaky camera giving a lot of viewers motion sickness and the one crying scene being so gross, a lot of people to vomited in the theaters, the stories (and smell) of which contributed to the impression of it being so viscerally disturbing that people couldn’t handle it.

Watching it on the small screen, without the surrounding hype, and after the found footage horror trend has long since worn out its welcome, it just doesn’t work anymore.

I saw it in the theatre when it came out. Maybe it was the shaky camera, but I don't remember anything being gross and definitely no one vomited in the theater I as at! However, I think you are absolutely correct about the scary part being convincing yourself it could be real. I just couldn't do that.

Cthulhu is not a man, or did I misunderstand your response.

PS - The person you responded to was not talking about Cthulhu, but a previous comment about hot demon women, see below:
