If you think Blair Witch in Amish Country then you have this movie. Unfortunately a lot of the acting is poor. When you combine that with the hand held camera effect it just comes off as amateurish.

Amateurish
Fake, bad, awful
When a film tries to sell you truth and they are too lazy to even research Amish people and how they live with rules it's already a mess from the get go. The dialog was dumb and the flow just wasn't working. It was fake, the acting wasn't good at all, and a lot of fails when thinking of the Amish and they way they actually live. The male character didn't have a beard and he was old enough to have one, cameras would never be allowed under any circumstance, the female pretended not to understand things but clearly did, and the acting was bad- some of the worst I've seen. It was so incredibly frustrating I couldn't even finish it. Knowing it isn't true even though selling it as a true story made it worse. It's felt like an even lower budget Blair Witch movie and whomever wrote it should at least research the "people" they are portraying.
So bad
I found this on discovery plus and knew it was fake before it even started. To find Amish - true Amish -in Holmes county who are willing to be filmed is not really a thing. I'm from that area. The Amish have a very specific accent that they didn't even bother having the bad actors replicate. So another indicator. It's so bad I don't even know how it got the rating it did. And married Amish have a beard. No mustache. Never understood the movie producers who think adding true story to a movie when it's not was ever cool. It just makes me turn it off immediately. Don't bother. It's not even a good Blair witch spoof.
