Adam Wingard’s ‘The Woods’ is actually called ‘Blair Witch’! Here’s the trailer

Lionsgate have done something really rather sneaky, Adam Wingard‘s The Woods was unveiled at Comic Con this weekend, but instead of being referred to as The Woods, it was actually presented as Blair Witch. That’s right, it’s back!

Blair Witch is a sequel to the groundbreaking 1999 movie The Blair Witch Project and will hit cinemas in September. Here’s the story, which has just been revealed too.

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. Adam Wingard, who directed You’re Next and The Guest, directs.

Hats off to Lionsgate for keeping this under wraps for so long.

Here’s that trailer.
