In the trailer, we get to know Margot (Emily Bader), a young woman who decides to do a documentary about a secluded Amish community where her mother comes from. Margot wants to reconnect with her family roots while she uses cameras to register the everyday life and costumes of a group of people isolated from the world.
However, not long after Margot arrives at the Amish community, her cameras begin to witness horrors that might reveal her dark past, as her mother was somehow involved with a demon-worshipping cult. The trailer also has its fair share of spooky moments, including a very creepy scene of an old woman peeling potatoes. You have been warned!
