Blair Witch Trailer

 

Yesterday brought us a brand new full-length trailer for the highly-anticipated Blair Witch. A two decades late sequel to the 1999 found footage phenomenon, this is one very delayed follow-up that has the potential to do just as much business as the original.

The horror auteur behind modern genre winners like You’re Next and The Guest is experienced in crafting truly chilling moments that don’t feel contrived. He’s a skilled filmmaker, and working from a script by his long-term collaborator Simon Barrett, Blair Witch becomes an exciting prospect indeed.

The below preview, titled “Remember,” includes a neat throwback to the first film, showing the group of youngsters gathering their equipment and testing it before they roll into the woods. About five seconds later there’s a lot of screaming and people being flung by invisible forces, but still, this is what we’ve come to expect from the Blair Witch.
