Blair Witch Adam Wingard

YOU'RE NEXT / THE GUEST director Adam Wingard will be taking us back into the realm of the BLAIR WITCH in just over a week, and a batch of TV spots have arrived to give us a quick look at the harrowing experience he and screenwriter Simon Barrett have put the film's characters through.

BLAIR WITCH has the following synopsis: 

A group of college students venture into the Black Hills Forest in Maryland to uncover the mysteries surrounding the disappearance of James’ sister who many believe is connected to the legend of the Blair Witch. At first the group is hopeful, especially when a pair of locals 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.

James Allen McCune, Callie Hernandez, Brandon Scott, Valorie Curry, Corbin Reid, and Wes Robinson star in the found footage film, which is, rest assured, not true documentation of a fatal encounter with a forest-dwelling evil spirit.

Proving this is all just movie magic, some B-roll footage has also arrived online, offering a behind-the-scenes look at the making of BLAIR WITCH, with the focus being the equipment that was used to capture the found footage style.

The TV spots and B-roll footage can be seen below. BLAIR WITCH reaches theatres on September 16th.
