Blair Witch

[projekktor id=’25267′]

Directed by Adam Wingard (The Guest, You’re Next), Blair Witch is a sequel to the smash hit The Blair Witch Project released in 1999. The film will screen at this year’s Toronto International Film Festival and stars James Allen McCune, Valorie Curry, and Callie Hernandez.

It’s been 20 years since James’s sister and her two friends vanished into the Black Hills Forest in Maryland while researching the legend of the Blair Witch, leaving a trail of theories and suspicions in their wake. James and his friends Peter, Ashley and film student Lisa venture into the same woods each with a camera to uncover the mysteries surrounding their disappearance. At first the group is hopeful, especially when a pair of locals Lane and Talia offer to act as guides through the dark and winding woods. But as the endless night wears on, the group is visited by a menacing presence. Slowly, they begin to realize the legend is all too real and more sinister than they could have imagined.

“When (The Blair Witch Project) first came out, I was one of a billion high school kids taking a camcorder into the woods and doing a Blair Witch spoof with my friends,” says Wingard. “The film had a total dedication toward authenticity. No one has so completely committed to that type of realism before or since.”
