#14 THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT (1999)
WHAT THE HELL IS
SHAKING THE TENT?
While
many folks point to end of The Blair Witch Project as one of
the scariest scenes in film, it always makes me laugh. The abrupt
ending where the guy is just standing there against the wall, looks
like he's taking a piss. No, the real scariest scene takes place
much earlier in the movie, when the campers are sitting in their
tent, lost, alone and afraid. They think something's out there
following them, and they have absolutely no idea what it is.
Suddenly, out of nowhere, something outside starts violently shaking
their tent. After the three of them scream their heads off and shit
their pants, they just run out blind from fear into the darkness.
The scene works on so many levels. Whether its something
supernatural that caused the disturbance, or just some guy that was
following them around to shake the tent, it's scary as hell no matter
how you slice it.
