Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin (2021)

Abandoned by her mother as an infant, Margot is hoping to make a documentary about the Amish-type community from which she came. She and the two crew people are invited to stay and film, but they're kept on a fairly tight leash. Eventually she discovers that the community had been seeking her for years and that her arrival was engineered.

The mystery, once revealed, turns out to be pretty interesting, but there are so many things going against it (the length of time it takes to get to any kind of explanation, the amateurish filming, and the terrible, terrible acting of the lead) that it's just not worth the time.
