You can now mark your calendar to see one of the most buzzed-about horror films that made the festival rounds in 2015: Osgood Perkins’ The Blackcoat's Daughter, formerly known as February.

EW reports that The Blackcoat's Daughter will be released in theaters on March 31st courtesy of A24, following its DirecTV debut on February 16th.

Written and directed by Perkins (the son of the legendary Anthony Perkins), The Blackcoat's Daughter stars Emma Roberts, Kiernan Shipka, Lucy Boynton, Lauren Holly, and James Remar.

"A deeply atmospheric and terrifying new horror film, The Blackcoat’s Daughter centers on Kat (Kiernan Shipka) and Rose (Lucy Boynton), two girls who are left alone at their prep school Bramford over winter break when their parents mysteriously fail to pick them up. While the girls experience increasingly strange and creepy occurrences at the isolated school, we cross cut to another story—that of Joan (Emma Roberts), a troubled young woman on the road, who, for unknown reasons, is determined to get to Bramford as fast as she can. As Joan gets closer to the school, Kat becomes plagued by progressively intense and horrifying visions, with Rose doing her best to help her new friend as she slips further and further into the grasp of an unseen evil force. The movie suspensfully builds to the moment when the two stories will finally intersect, setting the stage for a shocking and unforgettable climax."
