I just finished watching The Harvesting, an Amish-themed horror film, and I have no idea what the hell I just watched. Honestly, I don’t even know what happened. I sat through an hour and a half of this thing, and all I can say is, “What?” Like, seriously—what?

Here’s what I do know: there’s a family that decides to go on vacation in a remote area to spend some “bonding time” together. This house they rent is near an Amish community, which happens to live by a forest. And apparently, this forest is evil, which makes the Amish turn into psycho killers. That’s basically the main thrust of the film.

Now, I have a lot of questions. For one, if the forest is so evil, why don’t the Amish just cut it down? Like, chop the damn thing down and salt the earth to make sure nothing grows back. Problem solved—no more evil Amish.

Second, why do families in these movies always choose to vacation in the most remote, desolate places where there’s zero civilization? Why? It’s like they want to be murdered.

And then there’s the ending. I won’t spoil it in case you want to watch this (though honestly, don’t), but the ending completely undermines everything that happened in the movie. Nothing makes sense. Like, what is this malevolent force that’s causing people to go evil? It’s never explained.

Oh, and why are there drugs just lying around in the house? And why are the kids—literal kids—huffing nitrous oxide tanks? That’s right, this random house in the middle of nowhere has a spare nitrous tank just sitting there. How did it get there? Nobody explains it.

There’s also this B-plot involving a boy who spends time in the forest and then does… something. Whatever he does apparently makes him evil, but it’s never clear what he did or why it matters. Eventually, the A and B plots kind of tie together, but by that point, I was just sitting there going, “Huh?”

I think this movie sees itself as some kind of artsy, high-concept film. And look, I’m pretty perceptive when it comes to figuring out a movie’s themes, symbolism, or subtext. There’s a lot of religious imagery in this film, sure, but it doesn’t go anywhere.

Here’s the thing: I’ve spent time around religious folk, including Mennonites (who are kind of like the Amish but with more technology), and this movie doesn’t even seem to understand the Amish. Apart from the fact that they’re portrayed as not using technology (which isn’t entirely accurate), this film has no clue.

I went in knowing this movie had bad ratings, so I was prepared for it to be crappy. But nothing prepared me for just how weird and nonsensical it was.
