The film, which was initially presented as The Woods, was revealed to in fact be the sequel this weekend at Comic Con. It was there, too, that the real title was announced.

Set 20 years after the first film, the sequel follows James (whose sister went missing in the Black Hills Forest in Maryland while researching the Blair Witch legend) and his friends as they attempt to uncover what happened two decades ago.

Directed by Adam Wingard, the movie looks positively terrifying. Just watch the trailer for yourself here:
