I'm from Middlefield Ohio. About an hour from Holmes County and the second largest Amish community in Ohio. First, the Amish guide is not Amish. He is English. Everything about him is wrong. His clothes, his hair. His lack of Amish dialect or accent. Real Amish don't talk like him. The girls are acting like they've never seen earphones or iPhones before. They've all used one and many own them . These girls are not Amish. Their Dutch is not accurate. The sector of Amish is not known to any Amish I know. I watched 30 minutes and shut it down because I hate how badly they are representing Amish. Amish are hard working normal people. They are right there as a neighbor when you need help. They are simple and don't allow technology most of the time. But they are not witches or conspiracists. This movie does not do anything remotely associated with being a film. It does not have a plot, nor actors(of any quality) . This is the worst film I've seen in my lifetime. Pretend "reality" that it's not .. and horrible fake Amish actors. .. misrepresentation, did I say bad acting?.. total giveaways that these people are not Amish. This movie could have been made without using Amish setting as a backstop. Or using Amish at all. Or fake Amish that make real ones look crazy. What a horrible movie! Stop being racist toward Amish! Such a disappointment to see Amish being abused by these filmmakers.
