\"\"Next of Kin<\/a> dares to ask two new questions, which makes it objectively twice as important as Ghost Activity<\/a>[1] was. One: what if paranormal activity, except Amish? Amish are not as spooky as children, but there’s no denying that living an 18th century lifestyle in the 21st century is a little creepy if you adjust the angle on it even slightly. And this time I’m being 100% serious: two, what if paranormal activity but with all continuity jettisoned and the whole thing is itself, not beholden to anything except found footage of jump scares and eventual terror.<\/p>\n

Young adult, adopted with no history beyond a lady dropping her off at a hospital, finds an Amish relative via 23 and Me or whatever, and her friend decides, hey, this would be a cool documentary. Let’s go find your roots! And they do, with a conveniently good excuse to always be filming things[2]. Later, they learn that Amish are in fact creepy, as is their church in the woods, as is their spoiler stuff I won’t mention, and all of this even if they are not actually Amish at all.<\/p>\n

I think I like the ending of this movie best of all of them except the first one<\/a>.<\/p>\n

[1] That’s not actually the correct name, but I’m leaving it as is. haha oops
\n[2] By my count, maybe three of the movies actually have this excuse for the whole duration, which is not the worst<\/em> record.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
