The Blair witch project. Because that film change the face of horror films for the worst where jump scares and screaming teenagers running around in all directions is somehow considered more scary than a psychologically creepy and gripping storyline. I think the Blair witch project is the reason horror films have dumbed down over the years. The film seemed too inspired a generation of teens to just pick up the camera with their friends and make a dumb jump scare horror flick. But I still see some horror films that are amazing and stick to the old formula of horror film making but these are a few compare to all the bad ones I've seen. Jump scares can be a good thing if used appropriately and not too over the top. Most of the horror should be left to the viewers imagination. if you can get inside the head of the people watching your movie then you have made a memorable horror film
