Adam Wingard learned his trade through a series of inventive short films from 2004 onwards (with memorable entries into this training ground including a nightmarish babysitting short called The Little One and stalker nightmare Laura Panic.

Since then he’s gone on to rewrite the rule book when it comes to big screen horror, culminating in stealth sequel Blair Witch, available digitally now and on Blu-ray and DVD (alongside a box set containing Blair Witch and The Blair Witch Project) from January 23^rd, courtesy of Lionsgate Home Entertainment. With his latest offering due to land on shelves at any minute, what better chance to get acquainted (or re-acquainted) with his greatest hits?

You’re Next (2011)

With the exception of horror legend Barbara Crampton (star of classics such as Re-animator, From Beyond and Chopping Mall), Wingard and long time writing partner Simon Barrett work with a cast of complete unknowns for his breakout hit. The seemingly innocuous tale of a family gathering laid to siege by violent masked assailants determined that no-one is getting out alive, the film is turned on its head when the newest addition to the dinner table, Erin, girlfriend of one of the family’s sons, decides that it’s time to fight back. Think Home Alone but with some extreme violence and brilliantly inventive kills.
