They Made a New PARANORMAL ACTIVITY? | Next of Kin Explained 

I love that the people who found the footage added audio to the jump scares that was epic

I would just like to point out that Asmodeus represents lust, not chaotically possessing people or destroying Norweigan villages.

Amanda for the reboot of Supernatural.

“You have literally 15 seasons of Supernatural!” Literally me during any horror movie anymore. 🤣

The fact that they chose Asmodeus, the demonic spirit of LUST, for the primary villain of the paranormal activity series is hilarious.

"Why do people do stupid things?!?" So the movie can happen.

"Is that Voldemort?!" That gave me flashbacks of a video project back in elementary school (it was just after the first Harry Potter movie came out). I played Voldemort in it, but the zero budget meant it was just me at a bad angle with night vision on.

The shot of Margot about to jump out the window where she says "This'll be interesting" and then cuts to he next day drove me crazy! Oh, will it be interesting? I guess I'll just have to take your word for it!!

You know, a great twist on the found footage genre would incorporate those "who is filming this???" moments by having the ending twist be that a secret creepy antagonist filming the characters too, and having the impossible shots become more obvious as the movie continues.

Imagine a horror movie where an alien eats and splatters a sorority house and then the police come by and attribute the crime scene to a particularly severe menstrual cycle.

I need a Harry Potter fanfiction set when Harry is like 90 years old and the second wizarding war is officially classified as "history" and not really something people think about anymore, and Voldemort comes back to life and he shows up in like Hogsmeade or something and one of the kids just goes "is that Voldemort"? In exactly your tone and then just goes on with their day like nothing happened.

omg I can't stop laughing. There are footprints in blood on the ceiling and they tried to explain it as unusual menstruation. Who doesn't know about the periods where you walk on the ceiling in your own blood?!?🤣

Besides the quality issue, my main problem with the movie is that Margot didn't have a daughter. How would they continue to pass along the possession after Margot's body gets old and die?

"there's probably a bigger reason I'd be going to hell" lmao same

It's obvious who was doing the filming, the ghost! Seriously, it would be hilarious if they made a super serious found footage horror movie where the ghost finds the camera and starts recording and that's how we got so many shots.

That “excuse me what the fuck!?” was hilarious.

It would be nice if the creepy village in a horror movie were not actually the bad guys, but just a red herring.

Honestly, I would love to see Amanda do a Let's Play of Until Dawn and Outlast, would be so much fun!

My theory about the “ghost” in Sarah’s old room is that Sarah was containing the demon within her but over time the demon was starting to take control over her and push her spirit out of her body like she basically died or is dying so the demon can have full control and they need to transfer the demon into the daughter so they can start anew with holding back the demon in a healthier living body. So Sarah’s spirit, now without a body, was in the house I think trying to warn/scare Margot off into leaving so that she wouldn’t have to face the whole demon drama. Also their story is that Sarah was made pregnant by an outsider so she was shunned. We know they are liars so I think maybe Sarah was forced by someone else in the community into having a daughter while she was locked in the attic. I think it’s been a chain of them forcing the specific bloodline into having daughters and lie and say it was from an outsider as a reason for her being locked away in the attic when really it was because she was the demon vessel and had to be locked up. I think Sarah was trying to break the chain by escaping with her daughter but they found Sarah and Margot and brought them both back. They may have had plans to get Margot pregnant after transferring the demon into her and moving her into the attic where she would essentially become their prisoner. That’s why John calls Sarah “selfish” and “rebellious”. She wasn’t giving in to being a sacrifice for the “greater good” like the women before her might have been okay with it or took it on as a duty

A demon can get out of a pit it's been trapped in and instantly figure out how to drive!?

Movie: *shows the name "Asmodeus" in the footage* Me, a cultured person: You mean the king of demons from Jewish legends/ prince of the Lust Ring from Helluva Boss?

thanks to Helluva Boss the first thought that comes to mind when she mentioned asmodeus was "Gimme a thrust, show me some lust."

After the short mention of Supernatural, I would love to see a breakdown of your favorite episode(s) now upon rewatch

Asmodeus is Magnus' dad in shadow hunters btw - i could only think of that 😅

I felt it was very Blair Witch meets Midsommar without the sunlight

If they had abandoned the whole found footage idea, then this would sound like a really interesting concept. As it is, it sounds like a mix between The Last Exorcism and Midsommar. Which....meh.

i feel like this was definitely a good concept/script that got warped into a paranormal activity 'sequel' - like there's so many decent ideas here. the shot down into the pit. the being sitting on the bed. the actual decent human being boyfriend figure

I remember seeing a trailer for this before eternals. I remember when I was terrified of a trailer for ghost dimension before terminator geneses when I was 11. It was kind of nostalgic. I was surprised they were still making these

petition to make Amanda watch all 15 season of supernatural and review them?

I lived in MD for a few years in a small town. The Amish totally shopped at Walmart. Some even had cell phones.

your comedic timing was so perfect on this one lol you're quickly becoming one of my favourite content creators

I live right on the edge of Amish Country in Pennsylvania. I can't tell you how many times I've seen Amish folks in Walmart or Target, or any other general goods store. Amish teenagers flock to Sheetz and talk about Instagram or Tiktok. My daughter is friends with a few Amish children who know what the internet is. I'm sure plenty of Amish people conform strictly to the whole no technology, live off the land stuff. But there are plenty that don't stick to it so much. It's not as weird as some people like to pretend it is.

So these guys really forgot about the DRONE they had and just went for the "spelunking into a hole" option, huh?

You know things are bad when an Amish woman is fully willing to abandon her infant child. There's a tragic murder in the Amish community that the entire community tried to do something about where a dude with severe mental health issues snapped and brutally killed his wife and I believe the community had actually taken his own children from him so that they were not at risk either in case he killed again. So if that mom couldn't even be certain that her own child was safe within that environment, just maybe don't go back.

To me the way she says "do you have tik tok" sounds like the tone to ask someone "do you have tea"

I didn't like any of the paranormal activity movies,but I liked this one. Was even creepier since I live in amish country(eventhough the family in this movie wern't amish)was creepy,had eerie envirments,and good acting. Something the other movies did not have. Great video,Blessed Be.

My dumb ass heard Asmodeus and instantly thought of Obey Me 😂

I love the detail you go into with the plot holes and what they could’ve/should’ve done better. You paint the picture really well 🎨

Damn man, I knew I recognized the guy who plays Chris in this but just realized he's the kid that Kim and Jimmy scam into taking a plea deal in season 5 of Better Call Saul. Wow, that's a random-ass connection.

I was like 15 when the first Paranormal Activity came out. That and the original Blaire Witch Project started my absolute love of found film horror movies. I'm really very sad that the PA franchise had taken a swan dive down the toilet.

this is more like REC than paranormal activity

Yes I've heard they've made a new Paranormal Activity movie and I've also heard that it's basically doo doo on a stick. Paranormal Activity the Amish Edition.

the way this whole movie Margot just cannot seem to keep shit to herself is what pissed me off like why tf are you telling Jacob you snuck into your mother’s old room and found that letter?? Why would you tell Sam that you snuck to that church that is literally forbidden???

Every thought I had about this video was thrown out the window the moment you brought up What We Do in the Shadows at the end lol it's like my favorite show right now!

WHY WOULD THEY NOT LEAVE?! IT WOULD'VE BEEN SO EASY TO WRITE IN THEIR CAR BEING DAMAGED.

I am loving you editing the footage of your genuine reactions to the movie into the video. It’s a real way to incorporate your genuine reactions while still putting out a great review.

What if Asmodeous is her father? Like, we don't know what happened with her mother and her preparation for sacrifice

Amanda hit it nail right on the head! Margot gets thrown to the ceiling by an unseen force and her first though is to try and grab her camera to film it. 😳🙄🤦🏽‍♂️

"Why did that happen? Demon shit." This is my new go-to quote for movies

I'm watching this more than 2 years after the premiere of the video after having binged all of the findable Paranormal Activities at least twice since the first one came out and I've never heard of this movie.

this is the 3rd time since October there was a focus on Asmodeus in something I watched regularly. pretty sus if you ask me

This movie wasn't that bad but im feeling like since next of kin is a standalone film its better if they want to continue the franchise but as an anthology because they it will be better? Just my opinion though after watching the film

I cannot watch found footage shows because I get super duper sick from the camera movements. So I'm glad I get to watch you "enjoy" it haha.

my 2 cents are that they should have asked an actual german speaker for that sign. i don't think they did 😔

I really want to know what the height limit on the effects of a salt circle is. Like, if a demon is riding on a plane and passes over a salt circle, do they get yeeted out of the plane?

Why did people dislike this? This looks like a solid watch tbh. My weekend sleepless night is sorted

Nice to see you again, great video as always, sorry to hear you got sick, glad you're well

This looks like Midsummer knockoff except the characters are even more dumb and less isolated, making it even weirder that they stay so long.

The term for taking an unrelated movie and attaching a dead IP to it should be called "Cloverfielding"

Okay, did anyone else notice that while they were on the computer that the computer was an iMac made to look like a Dell? If you stop and look you can see that they are using Parallels on an iMac, and you can see an icon on the desktop that says "Macintosh Hardrive". Just thought it was a hilarious flub up.

kinda feeling special for being so early hehe

Well said, Jedi. I feel bad for the writers of this movie. The movie was kind of creepy, well done, but it wasn't a PA movie, clearly, and they stuck that shit title on it and now no one will see it. It honestly might be the bets of the series, ironically. It had REC vibes, and I even woulda accepted it was: Blair Witch: Amish Edition but not a PA movie. This flick had actual creepy shit and not doors moving and sheets being pulled.

Asmodeus appears in the Babylonian Talmud, where there is a story of him being captured by King Solomon because Solomon wanted information on a supernatural worm to help him build the temple. He is portraied as a wise scholar who regularly quotes religious texts and has a supernatural understanding of the future. He has a dark sense of humor (laughing at a man wanting shoes that will last seven years when he will be dead in one) but is also capable of great sadness (crying at a wedding he knows will end in tragedy) He temporarily siezes the throne as part of a deal with Solomon to show how he is greater than a mortal man. The rabbis discover the ruse when they notice the king is sleeping with his wives during periods when it is spiritually forbidden and he is banished.

That emblem on her chair looks like an elf’s ear whenever she moves her head.

You know I'm starting to realize a lot of the protags of horror films are actually the villians because they always let lose this super dangerous demon because they're too busy trying to save themselves.

I wonder what you'll think of Antlers? My Twin bro, sister and I saw it last night and holy SHIT was it dark! We all love the "fierce momma bird" (my sister's beautiful wording) vibes we got from Keri Russell too

OMG I WAS JUST WATCHING THIS. I wanted to drop it because the first jumpscare had a sound effect and I was like huh!!!???? But i kept going and now you suddenly post this lol but I missed you!!!!!

"Nope!" Please do more back and forth reaction videos ike these! "Pull her up pull her up pull her up!" Your editing like, punctuated everything perfectly🤣 "she's potato peeling her hand and we never see or hear from her again!" my side hurts from laughing lol you made me choke on my tea and I'm not even mad about it😂😂😂 Side note: About that white witch dealio, I just so happen to be a practicing Witch lol I'm not gonna get all into it, but I have a hard time believing that a "White Witch" would come up with such an ass-backwards way to solve a demon problem! The salt though lol you were right about the salt👌🤷🏻‍♀️ lol

I live around 15-20 miles from the Amish, they drive their buggy’s to the local gas station to buy milk/eggs/ fruit. Also most communities have a building with phone/electricity

I'll say, the Amish actually do shop at Walmart. We see them in there a lot in Michigan. And Anthony Padilla interviewed Amish and she said they could shop in Walmart, but had to look away from technology like the tv section.

Hope you feel better!

Some slight spoilers in this so don't read if you want to experience. I didn't hate the movie but I will say I hated some of the forced issues the film presented. Like they hear the weird animal noises and immediately wanna check it out. Like sure, but you have all these farmers and guys doing shit, I personally wouldn't have bothered exploring further. Most of the movie I felt it was just Amish people being Amish. Then when they get to the church and that pit is there and the main girls immediate response is to jump down it. Me and my friends were shouting at our TV like who would just do this?! Lol the end was fun and interesting but yeah. Wasn't the worst thing but definitely wasn't spooky to me... Thanks for video!

“The Blair Witch Project” is THE found footage movie fight me.

I *JUST* Noticed the trees were in a "Demon Skull" shape on the coverart.

Hope you're feeling better!

Definitely need more of these type of videos in my life. Pretty cool to see your initial reactions, and the review commentary just made it all the better. GGs

i was so annoyed by the main character and her insistence on staying at finding the "secret" and that harness scene made me so angry. I also think the found footage angle is getting tired for this franchise.

I watched Foundflix’s video on this and I was thinking how many weird things that clearly foreshadowed that they weren’t really Amish. These were all red flags that should’ve told them to leave. - The girl who asked about TikTok and got her dress from Walmart. - Asmodeus is the demon of lust. - They knew German and not Hebrew (haven’t seen the movie so can’t confirm this but going off the church sign). - Ability to use technology. - The community still interacting with the supposed exiled member instead of full on shunning. - For some reason, they found the Sam on 23andme.

I literally said the same thing as the title when this came on my radar a few weeks back.

Next up: Paranormal Activity: The Reboot God, I hate modern Hollywood.

I should sleep but i also could hear you talk about a bad ghosts movie 👀

What the hell is this? The Marked Ones is still the BEST movie

Just a random fact. I live in an area where the Amish aren't far and they definitely shop at Walmart. They pay people to drive them places, but there are also Mennonites, which are the similar to the Amish, but different.

I actually loved the whole paranormal activity series. I still binge watch it sometimes.

Imagine a version of the movie but the demon is a giant evil snail

I feel so on brand for this video because of my time growing up in a heavily Amish/Mennonite area so I’m loving all these questions about those societies in the comments! 😊

i completely forgot this was a paranormal activity movie after the intro was explained

Okay, so, having been raised around Amish. 1. They shop at Wal-Mart 2. They communicate with the "English" enough to know about cell phones and apps like Tik Tok. Especially when the send their adolescents to sell veggies in town. They're mostly curious about technology and likely learned about apps like that. 3. There is no way they would allow any English to stay in their homes, let alone film. Many amish communities are different and it depends on how strict they are as to what they allow. That being said, most amish "communities" at least where i live are interspersed with modern english homes that likely have phine service and internet so there being no signal is preposterous.

When the daughter asked about TicTok I spit out my drink! There's a number of moments like this in this movie lmao.

Well, I just found out about this movie today, and now here's this video. That's timing.

Pfft. Demons have been Irrelevant in Supernatural for 5 seasons. It's all about killing God

I couldn't finish it, it bored me, but I'm glad people are enjoying it.

Can't wait for the Dead Meat podcast about this

Amanda I think I speak for the world when I say that the we need you to review Adventureland (the greatest film ever made)

Amanda, I know maybe is not your alley but you gotta make a video about A Dark Tale of Grimm on Netflix. Its like a tv show for kids but REALLY (and consciously) disturbing, you have A whole lot to rant. Love your videos ♥

Lol, Asmodeus being tied to lust specifically, this could have been a very different movie.

Living not far from one of the largest Amish communities in the US, the Amish are an interesting group. They regularly go to Walmart. You will see them at places like zoos, state parks, and other tourist type attractions. Often groups of them will rent a bus to take them there. And, a lot of the young women (especially, some young men do, too) work in customer service in tourist focused type stores (cheese, meat, crafts, furniture, antiques) and probably have a lot of exposure to things like social media. Also, unfortunately, where I live, there is a significant drug problem amongst Amish youth. Edit: Also, yes...English is pretty much the name given to anyone outside the community.

I'd really love your opinion on some of the Doctor Who episodes, especially 'Listen', it has the same problems of it's okay until you start thinking about it. But then there's a bunch of bits (some of the best scary best) that make no sense and are never explained when you take into account the ending.

13:01 "... one is a painting of that creature that was painted in blood in the attic with the name Asmodeous on it..." Me, a Helluva Boss fan: Um, excuse me, *what was the name again??* 👀👀

Waited till after I watched it to come back and watch your video and YEAH MAN I HAD A GOOD TIME TOO.
