Welcome to another trailer round-up! Barry Burton fans are in for a treat with the latest Resident Evil Revelations 2 trailer, the found footage horror film Nightlight debuted its first trailer, and we have a look at The Woods Movie, The Blair Witch Project documentary that premieres later this month at Film4 FrightFest in Glasgow, Scotland.

Resident Evil Revelations 2 (Episode 1 now available from Capcom): "He’s back! Fan favorite and classic S.T.A.R.S. member Barry Burton will be returning in Resident Evil Revelations 2. The man himself can be seen in the brand new reveal trailer and new batch of screenshots just released on the press site. Headed for the remote prison island in search of his missing daughter, Moira Burton, Barry meets brand new character Natalia Korda, a little girl who has a strange power that allows her to sense enemies and hidden items. Using this skill alongside Barry’s proven combat abilities, players will need to alternate between the two to survive the mysterious island and find Moira.

Each episode in Resident Evil Revelations 2 includes Raid mode content and two full playable scenarios focused on the previously announced Claire and Moira campaign and the newly confirmed Barry and Natalia storyline. Barry and Natalia will need to uncover clues as they fight to survive and their journey will lead them to terrifying encounters with two brand new enemies: The Rotten and The Revenant. The Rotten have bones that are visible through their bodies and stop at nothing to hunt down the living, and the horrific Revenant are formed from parts of human beings sewn together."

Nightlight: "For years, the Covington forest has been shrouded in mystery, with a dark past as a final destination for troubled youths. Undeterred by the news of a classmate who recently took his life in those woods, five teens journey into the forest for an evening of flashlight games and ghost stories. But their plans go awry when the friends awaken a demonic presence, an unseen evil that will seize upon their deepest fears—and plunge them into a nightmare of absolute terror."

Directed and written by Scott Beck and Bryan Woods, Nightlight stars Shelby Young, Chloe Bridges, Carter Jenkins, Mitch Hewer, Taylor Ashley Murphy, and Kyle Fain. Lionsgate will release Nightlight in theaters and VOD on March 27th.

The Woods Movie: Synopsis via Film4 FrightFest: "In October 1997, a group of filmmakers ventured into the Maryland woods to produce a low budget independent horror movie. THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT would become a global phenomenon and began the ‘found footage’ genre that remains a potent force today. Now for the first time you can see how that record-breaking groundbreaker came into being. From never-before-seen recordings of pre-production meetings, audition tapes and test footage to the actual shooting, first preview screenings and marketing at the Sundance Film Festival, all the key personnel guide you through the discussions and decisions that minted a shock sensation classic."

Written and directed by Russell Gomm, The Woods Movie stars Eduardo Sanchez, Daniel Myrick, Gregg Hale as themselves, including many more people involved with bringing The Blair Witch Project to life. The Woods Movie will debut at the Glasgow Film4 FrightFest on February 28th.
