31daysofhorror, day 26: Deadly Blessing (1981)

Amish on steroids, gender reveal, blondes

From the strange mind of Wes Craven, this 1981 film falls by the wayside, and after watching you can understand why. Ultra-Amish have an eerie presence throughout the countryside (Note: Not Amish, as the filmmakers were probably afraid to get sued for religious discrimination. Although, let’s be honest, how would the Amish actually see the film anyway?) but there’s some other-worldly highjinx sprinkled around, a misandrist with an over-friendly child and two blonde city-slickers (for city-slicker here read victim) here to support their widow friend.
