New Trailer Is Found For The True Story Inspired Horror ‘The Widow’

Scream Factory’s soon to be released found-footage horror The Widow gives off a serious Blair Witch (2016) vibe in its new trailer. The true story-inspired film is set “in a densely forested area north of St. Petersburg, people have been going missing for three decades.
