Honestly, this movie is just bland and predictable. It felt like a copy-paste of every other found footage film. I think Blair Witch was one of the first to do found footage and make it look good, and also one of the last, because the camera flying everywhere and just being a hassle is pointless. Not to mention the stereotypical night vision camera.
WARNING: SPOILERS
The acting was alright, casting was good, outfits were good, but the way they portray Amish people and culture is no where near correct. When visiting Amish towns, the people are usually nice and laid back, they even use electricity sometimes and do occasionally allow phone usage by their kids or young adults in their houses. They don't dictate how people live and are not psycho satan worshippers.
Another point to make is that there was basically no characters I bonded with emotionally. Sure, we know Margo is adopted, looking for answers about her mother, and is a curious person (who also needs to get possessed, but that's for later), but is there anything else we know about her? Like, who is she as a person? Maybe a goofball or nice friend? We don't know her, and we know even less about the side characters. Who is Chris? The camera guy and friend? That's all we know. There was no character development, stuff just happened and then the movie was over.
Onto the storyline, it's very bland. I feel like an AI that had been made to watch 1,000 found footage movies and been made to come up with something wrote this movie. Here's the plot:
1. Curious character wants to know more about past/the world/a specific thing (Margot), so they go to a location.
2. People are different than what they seem, and are actually kind of creepy.
3. Main character discovers something about themselves that makes them different than others (Margo finds out she needs to be possessed).
4. An incident of violence happens (This can also be before or after point 3), but doesn't make the main character leave yet.
5. Sooo many people die, like literally so many. Main character either 1: Escapes, or 2: Stays and dies or becomes a member of the community.
Examples of movies similar to this (Ranked in order of common traits): Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin, Midsommar (This movie is still really good though, it puts a twist on this genre), The Ritual, Wrong Turn (2021), The Skeleton Key, 'As Above, So Below', You Should Have Left, and many more. These were the ones I could name, I've forgotten a lot.
Point is, it wasn't really worth watching. Maybe if you're new to horror and just want a bit of gore and not to much suspense then this would be an alright watch, but if you've watched horror for a long time and want something exciting, look somewhere else.
