One night as a teen, I was staying with some cousins and we were just goofing about and shooting the shit for a whole weekend. When we went to sleep we decided to watch a movie on cable. We eventually landed on a choice between Blair Witch and The Parent Trap. Three tough teens, landed on the decision to just watch the latter because we had already seen the Blair Witch before as kids and we were just scarred by the impression the movie had left in us.

Watched it later again as an older adult and it certainly isn't really all that much. It was revolutionary horror at the time, but it still leans heavily on the ā€œbunch of idiot young adults who have no critical thinking skills make a long string of bad decisions, get killedā€ trope.
