rofl at that gif.
I'm turned off by the whole idea of pretending this footage is real when I know it isn't, I'd rather it just be a legitimate film instead, and the fact that I knew the footage wasn't real made the film not very scary to me, even as a kid.. It wasn't terrible but meh. Didn't tickle my ballsack much. I was much more interested in The Sixth Sense if we're talking about Horror films from '99, a film Blair Witch can't hold a wand to imo
there was also an incredible number of AMAZING films to come out in 1999 that I far preferred.
