You pour your attention into a film and everything else disappears

Precisely the reason why films like
The Blair Witch Project are so important - these days it seems to take an unconventional approach to the genre to truly grab the viewer's attention.
Films breaking the mould like this are not for everyone of course, as we have seen.
However from this reviewer's persepective, suspending the weight of disbelief (and minimising distractions) long enough to allow such a film to seep into your bones brings great reward when the 90 minutes are over - this probably could not be called
fun, but perhaps...
exhiliration... the product of fear and adrenaline generated by a plausable situation turned horrific by the unknown (and, crucially, by the end of the film: the
unexplained).
