The video, which you can check out below, features a young woman who goes to an Amish community in hopes of connecting with her first biological relative.

Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin is directed by William Eubank from a screenplay by Christopher Landon, who served as the primary screenwriter for the series having penned the script for the second through fourth entries. He also had written and directed its spinoff The Marked Ones in 2014.

“In the film, a documentary filmmaker follows Margot as she heads to a secluded Amish community, in the hopes of meeting and learning about her long-lost mother and extended family. Following a string of strange occurrences and discoveries, she soon realizes this community that welcomed them into their home might be hiding something sinister…”

The reboot stars Emily Bader, Roland Buck III, Dan Lippert, and Henry Ayers-Brown. It will be set as the seventh installment in the long-running horror film series, which is being described as the “unexpected retooling” of the franchise that has come before.

Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin is produced by Jason Blum, and the first film’s original writer-director Oren Peli, with Landon, Steven Schneider, and Jenny Hinkey set as executive producers.

Since its launch in 2007, the original film was followed by five sequels, exploring the different corners of the vague mythos established in the first film and culminating in 2015’s 3D sequel, The Ghost Dimension. The six movies have brought in over $890 million worldwide, an impressive haul for their micro-budgets and setting the series up as one of the many fan-favorite horror franchises in the mid-2000s.
