12 Scariest Movie Moments Of 2016
6. Gotta Split - Blair Witch
While one review proudly proclaimed Blair Witch a “game changer”, this belated third instalment proven to be a major letdown. It was just a rehash of the first movie with fancier cameras, and it didn’t add much to the convoluted mythology of the series.
It had one hell of a good scare, though, featured in the scene where the new group of terrified idiots lost in the woods discover their tents are surrounded by stick figures. Two characters – Ashley and Talia – get into an argument about this, with Talia being accused of making them in secret. Ashley snaps one of the figures in anger, which has the unfortunate side effect of ripping Talia in half too.
The film lacked the atmosphere of the original, but this one moment alone redeemed it slightly.
