Honestly, everyone I know laughed at the film when it came out, because we live in a rural area. Walking through a forest is everyday life and not scary (omg, the trees are making noises, eeeeeeghhhhh!!). However, I do still get thrills out of watching the movie just based on the psychological aspect. Sure, you can laugh at the characters freaking out, or you can try to put yourself in the situation, in which case it messes with you a bit. Yes, I've thought about this way too much... /nerd.
