Personally, Last shift (2014).

Not meant movies get under my skin but that one really did.

The biggest thing that made Blair Witch scary was all the marketing and hype about it. They created a whole fake conspiracy theory online with fake news articles and everything that made it sound plausible. It was in the early days of the Internet so there wasn't the instant fact checking that would happen today.

You could probably get away with telling kids today that it was real, but wouldn't able to generate the same hype.
