That was how I felt about Blair Witch. Full disclosure, I don't like horror to begin with, but to me the movie was about a group of people in the woods with a scary thing somewhere, and when they finally find the thing it ends.

It's like if Texas Chainsaw was about a bunch of teenagers who stood around while you hear a chainsaw running somewhere in the distance, the cuts to black right when the killer shows up.

Blair Witch′s whole shtick of being the first (at least well known) found footage film is interesting from historical perspective, but that's about it. Much better than Paranormal Activity though.
