hyped garbage
I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.
This movie has no horror element to it so I don't know why horror is part of the genre, it's probably a thriller mystery drama at most......
..."The Harvest," John "I made Michael Rooker a star" McNaughton's first feature film in over a decade (not counting a smattering of TV work), and even pros like Michael "Bug" Shannon and Samantha "Control" Morton can't save it from itself. It's the sort of thriller that fades from memory within a few days; even the twist isn't that interesting in the long run. It's a stylistic choice that only accentuates the rickety structure of coincidence that moves the plot along to its Wagnerian conclusion. Nonetheless, I didn't dislike "The Harvest" so much as wished it had somehow been better. Rachel "Fruitvale Station" Morrison's DP work is solid, George S. "Austin Powers" Clinton's score works well, and Bill "Body Double" Pankow's editing is on the ball, and the acting is acceptably convincing from all concerned. No, the nuts and bolts of the film are all reasonably solid; it's that doggone script.Ultimately, "The Harvest" doesn't provide much in the way of emotional nutrition, but at least it's not another McHollywood CGI burger. Notch another up for Sturgeon's Revelation. Your life won't be made better watching it, but it won't be made worse, either. I know that's damning with faint praise, but so be it.
Yes, this movie has a few familiar actors. I loved the small town feel & the old house where Andy lives with his doctor mother & nurse father- there's a twist- goodbye Marcus Welby M.D. All Andy wants is a friend to play baseball with. His health & his parents both prevent this from happening. Is having professional parents that don't have the time to raise you worse than those that keep you home in bed seemingly sacrificing their careers to "nurse you back to health". The girl-next door might be the hero in this tale if her grandparents would simply believe her. This was an unpredictable plot, save for the movie title. This is a creepy one. Beware!
The Harvest came out of nowhere for me. It's a film about power and deception, which makes for a truly fantastic film. This film gets well under your skin, making it a very effective psychological thriller, NOT a horror. The one thing I truly love about this film is that it gets straight to the point. It starts off fast, there is no filler, every scene has a point and the finally is epic and perfectly paced.The Harvest really did surprise me. With such low user ratings, I was expecting something overly pretentious or just plain bad; both of these it was not. If there could be one criticism it would be the lack of suspense leading up to the unveiling, but other than that, nothing is at fault.
