Main Stars: Emily Bader, Kirby Johnson, Jaye Ayres-Brown, Dan Lippert, Roland Buck III, Ari Notartomaso
Storyline: A teen finds out that her mom was part of Amish group and bring a camera team to get some background of her family’s past.
Review (Spoils): Margo (Emily Bader) finds out that her mom was part of Amish community at one time before she got pregnant from an outsider. So, what is better than grabbing some friends with a boom stick and camera and join the community and ask questions and record. When the arrive they not overly greeted and learn about the strange rituals the community has and secrets that nobody talks about. Oh, and ton of basic jump out options along the way of the documentary.
Lots of semi lame jump out moments, very interesting songs and rituals, a doll with no face, annoying teens who record like everything, a girl who has no idea what a farm is really like look at all the cows and pigs. (it’s not a lot at all), devil marks in blood, Blair Witch camera feel, bed crunch, old mysterious church, 2 headed goat, sacrifice pit, typical floor drag, castle freak beast, blood slashing, meat hook, fire, mob, and the magical snowstorm that disappears in the same scene.
Rating: Zero idea how this series went from hauntings to an occult feel this film just does not fit the series at all. Really this film is Blair Witch meets The Witch if I had to nail it down with a bunch of silly recording people making dumb decisions. Like they thought the snooping and action would end well. This film has also a hard time to decide if it wants to be a straight movie or a found footage. The film is watchable but not relatable to the series and very confusing on really what is happening and why.
4/10 Beers!
