Documentary Team Uncovers the Secret of a Demonic Cult | Movie Recap - YouTube

March 2021 – A young woman named Margot is  in a restaurant filming a documentary with  

her cameraman friend Chris. They meet a man  named Samuel Beiler, who is supposedly an  

Amish relative of Margot’s. Samuel says he is on  his Rumspringa year to see the outside world and  

managed to get in touch with Margot. He invites  her and Chris to join him at his family’s farm.  

At home, Margot and Chris are with their  friends, discussing the documentary  

and her reasoning for doing it. She has a video of  her mother, Sarah, abandoning her at a hospital,  

and Margot has always been looking for  answers for why her mother left her.  

Margot and Chris fly to where Samuel  lives and meet their sound guy,  

Dale. They drive to the farm, where Samuel’s  father Jacob tells him that the guests can’t stay.  

The three go to a motel to sleep, but are  later startled by Samuel’s brother Eli.  

After they bring him back to the farm,  Jacob decides that they can stay there.  

As they are settling into their rooms, Margot  looks out the window towards the woods,  

where she sees glowing red lanterns  making their way further into the woods.  

The following day, Margot joins Samuel as he gives  her a tour of the area. They go to the barn, where  

Margot nearly falls down a hole onto a piece of  machinery, but Samuel gets her before it happens.  

She then talks to the women on the farm who talk  about Sarah having been in a relationship with  

an outsider, which leads to some tension in the  family. Margot, Chris, and Dale later join the  

family for a traditional dinner. When they try to  go to bed, the generator for the heat goes out,  

so Chris goes outside to turn it back on and finds  one of the boys sleepwalking outside. Chris gets  

two adults to take him back inside the house. The trio continues to try and get to know the  

rest of the family. Dale gets a makeover from  the kids and is given a traditional Amish outfit,  

while Chris shows the kids how the camera  works. Margot tries talking to a little girl  

playing with a doll, who says she named it Sarah  like Margot’s mother. The girl says Sarah is  

still “there” and that she doesn’t like Margot  before casually walking off without the doll.  

Later that night, Margot hears a noise coming from  the attic. She takes the camera to investigate  

using the night vision setting. She finds a drawer  containing belongings of Sarah’s, including a  

letter she wrote to the family saying she will not  allow her daughter to be part of whatever they are  

involved with. Margot hides when she hears someone  coming and finds Jacob investigating the noise,  

but doesn’t hear anything. Margot hides under  the bed and feels something sitting on there,  

but when she crawls out, she finds nothing. When  trying to climb out a window to avoid detection,  

she sees what looks like a ghoulish  face reflected in the window.  

The following day, Margot conducts an  interview with Jacob regarding what he  

knew about Sarah. He tells Margot that she  was the family’s “wildflower” who rebelled  

and suffered from mental health problems,  with several suicide attempts having happened.  

After she fell in love with the outsider, the  family shunned her. Margot shows Jacob the letter  

she found and asks what it means, to which he  says that Sarah was “forced” to give Margot away.  

Margot, Chris, and Dale later walk through  the woods and come across a chapel built in  

the middle of the area. When they try to go  in, Jacob comes out to admonish them for it  

and says nobody may enter. They go back to  the house to help prepare dinner, but one  

of the elderly women just stares at the window  while scraping her hand with a potato peeler.  

At night, Chris overhears a screeching noise and  wakes Margot up. They go to investigate and come  

upon the barn where they find Jacob and other  members of the family delivering a baby goat  

and then killing it. They throw the bodies down a  hole. Margot and Chris once again see the people  

with red lanterns going deeper into the woods. In the morning, Dale distracts Samuel by having  

him teach him how to ride a horse while  Margot and Chris break into the chapel.  

They find cult-like drawings and descriptions of  a demonic entity that will make people suffer.  

The two find a hatch with a hole leading  underground. They make a harness so Margot  

can descend, and she hears an inhuman  growling sound coming from below.  

Back at the house, Margot goes through Sarah’s  old room and goes into her closet, where she  

finds that Jacob has his own personal computer  and several files on Margot’s personal life,  

like her work and school schedules  and even her home address,  

meaning they have been tracking her for over a  year and always intended for her to come to them.  

That night, Margot tries to wake up  Chris and Dale when she hears a noise,  

but they are both deep asleep. She is found by the  unseen entity that thrashes her around the room.  

In the morning, the guys find Margot’s bed and the  ceiling all bloodied, as well as her pajama pants,  

like she had her period. The family checks  on her and says she is just “exhausted.”  

Chris and Dale try going into town to get  a new battery for their car since it died.  

They are picked up by a mailman, and when  the two mentions staying with the Beilers,  

the mailman confirms that the family is NOT Amish.  

At the store, they ask to use the computer,  and the two learn that the family is a cult  

involved with a demon called Asmodeus, who is the  source of great violence among groups of people.  

Later, Chris and Dale plan their leave, but they  can’t find Margot. Chris goes to the chapel,  

but he is met by Jacob with a rifle. He tries  to stop Chris from interfering in their plans,  

saying that if they don’t go through with  their ritual that “it” will possess anybody,  

but Chris fights Jacob and wrestles the gun out  of his hands. Jacob attempts to choke Chris,  

but he bashes Jacob in the head, causing  him to stumble and fall down the hole to his  

death. Chris straps on the harness and makes his  way down, where he finds one of the elderly cult  

women attempting to perform a ritual on Margot. He  looks over to see a horrific demonic creature that  

contains Asmodeus chained to the ground, with  the woman trying to have the creature inhabit  

Margot’s body to stop it from possessing anyone  else. Chris wakes Margot up and gets her to run.  

The creature becomes angry and kills the cult  woman. Margot and Chris run to the harness,  

where Dale pulls them up. However, the creature  starts climbing up the hole and chases the three.  

They try to run, but the  creature slashes Dale’s throat.  

Margot and Chris hide, but they realize they left  the van keys with Dale. They run back outside to  

his corpse and recover the keys. As they run back  to the car, they find the cult and the farm in  

chaos, with one man on fire and another with his  eyes, gouged out as the creature runs rampant.  

The creature finds them and attacks Chris, but  Margot has come to realize that the creature has  

taken over Sarah’s body. She tries talking to  the monster as Sarah, then takes an opportunity  

to stab it in the neck with a hook. Margot gets  Chris, and they make it back to the van. After a  

few failed tries, they manage to burst through  the barn door and escape the farm for good.  

Cops later arrive at the farm and come across the  bloody scene. One officer hears a baby crying but  

then sees it is just Samuel, now possessed by  Asmodeus. He uses his power to get the officer,  

plus another, to commit suicide before taking  their van and making their way into town.
