Kept under wraps for years, Lionsgate has finally revealed at the San Diego Comic-Con that the previously-named The Woods is actually a sequel to 1999’s horror hit The Blair Witch Project! Simply titled Blair Witch, you can watch the new trailer in the player below!

In the film, a group of college students venture into the Black Hills Forest in Maryland to uncover the mysteries surrounding the disappearance of James’ sister who many believe is connected to the legend of the Blair Witch. At first the group is hopeful, especially when a pair of locals offer to act as guides through the dark and winding woods, but as the endless night wears on, the group is visited by a menacing presence. Slowly, they begin to realize the legend is all too real and more sinister than they could have imagined.

Blair Witch is directed by Adam Wingard and written by Simon Barrett, whose previous teamed up on You’re Next and The Guest.

 James Allen McCune (Shameless), Callie Hernandez (From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series), Brandon Scott, Valorie Curry (The Following), Corbin Reid, and Wes Robinson co-star as the doomed characters in the film.
