Blair Witch, slated for release this September, follows college student James, who ventures into the woods in search of the long lost film students from the original film.

From the looks of the international trailer, this sequel won’t stray far from the original found-footage fright-fest fare.

The sequel was kept so heavily under wraps that the cast didn’t even know they were starring in a Blair Witch film until the official release name was revealed.

“It was almost like a Star Wars-level secrecy process,” producer Keith Calder told USA Today.

Blair Witch hits Australian cinemas on September 15, 2016.
