I know this isn't just a horror movie thing but jesus, every single time someone wants to hard sell their horror movie the pull quote is always "The Scariest Film. OF ALL TIME."

Aside from the clickbait aspects of a pull quote like that, people are real drat bad at putting intense emotional reactions into a broader context. No movie is scaring me as much as The Woods right now, so...

Considering You're Next was Wingard and Barrett delivering a lot of the same broad metanarrative points as Cabin in the Woods but with like ten times the nuance and insight, I'm not that worried

Blair Witch 2: Book of Shadows did $13M in its opening weekend 16 years ago and was considered a failure

It also cost three times as much to make as Blair Witch, so

Like, it's very well possible that Blair Witch might kill the franchise because studios are more often than not gormless motherfuckers who have no idea what they're doing, but Blair Witch made three times its budget in one week. Any definition of commercial 'failure' that includes it is disconnected enough from reality to be pretty much useless

Yeah despite the obvious frustration in my post I don't actually really disagree with you, which is kinda the saddest part
