In 2015, Wingard signed on to direct a live action American film adaptation of Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata's popular horror crime-thriller manga series Death Note.

Wingard directed Lionsgate's horror film Blair Witch, based on a script by Simon Barrett. In 2014, Wingard directed The Guest starring Dan Stevens, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, the Toronto International Film Festival and Fantastic Fest, receiving wide critical acclaim upon its wider theatrical release in mid-September. The film was acquired by Lionsgate, and received a wide release in August 2013 to generally favorable reviews.
