Adam Wingard, the director of “You’re Next,” helms the anticipated sequel to “The Blair Witch Project,” the acclaimed horror film that forever changed the horror genre in 1999.
A group of college students ventures into Maryland’s Black Hills Forest to unravel the mystery surrounding the disappearance of James Donahue’s sister, Heather, 17 years prior—a disappearance many believe is connected to the legend of the Blair Witch.
The group is initially optimistic, especially when some locals offer to guide them into the forest. However, over the course of an endless night, the students begin to feel a sinister presence around them and slowly realize that the legend is far more real and disturbing than they could have imagined.
