Your support makes all the difference.Horror director Adam Wingard is back with a new horror film fans of the genre should be excited about.
The Woods is the latest from the American actor-director who, alongside Ti West (The Innkeepers, House of the Devil), forms one-half of an emerging horror fraternity.
Wingard's list of credits includes the memorable segment in found-footage anthology horror V/H/S and black comedy slasher film You're Next.
His most recent film, The Guest, somehow turned former Downton Abbey actor Dan Stevens into an unnerving veteran returning home from Afghanistan.
Keeping with the rationale that simple titles are better, The Woods is a return to the found-footage formula. Judging by the reaction of those who have already seen the film, it seems horror fans are in for one hell of a treat.
The director has been tasked with adapting popular Japanese supernatural detective film Death Note for Netflix with The Leftovers' Margaret Qualley in talks to star as the lead.
Wingard has himself described The Woods as his first 'full on "shit your pants" horror film". You can find out whether or not that's the case when it's released in the UK on 16 September.
