The Harvesting

I like little horror movies that aren't trying to be standard tits and gore. It's a low-budget movie that takes advantage of stuff that doesn't actually cost more but gains a lot for the viewer: acting, mood, camera work and mystery. The story is taken very seriously even though they couldn't dazzle with big effects or stars. If you took this same movie and put it in a multi-million dollar setting and swapped either of the kids with a Disney kid or either of the adults with a sitcom actor, you'd have a major Hollywood release without changing ANY of the content or crew.

Also, the Amish. Creepy bastards. Creepy on sight.

Decent movie. I liked the premise. The parents of the two kids were not great actors. I thought all the other actors, especially the kids, were great . Not scary, but odd enough to keep you wondering . Not basvatcall. Give it a try

I wish I could rate this movie higher because it's got good atmosphere, acting, and production, but it's missing something important. it's hard to put my finger on it, but the writing is weak. The fairly interesting characters spend a lot of time wandering around with very little to say and less to do. Still, it's worth watching if you've got an hour and a half that you don't mind wasting. I enjoyed it because, as a huge horror fan, I often find that good atmosphere can make up for deep flaws in a movie.

This is one of those films that if a scene here and a scene there could have been tweaked or done better this would be a really good film. It tries its best to do a M. Night Shyamalan or Shutter Island twist but cheats the viewer to get the end result. Where their clues are right in front of your face but you don't see it, this film uses vague hints or missing information , and then the AHA moment leaves you going, wait a minute. It's still worth a watch for it's sad and atmospheric mood. I mean, corn and woods are always creepy.

I like this movie, I wouldn't call it a traditional horror film but it is really eerie though. The movie was shot exceptionally well, it doesn't look like a low budget movie. There were some really beautiful sweeping shots of Amish country, which was the perfect setting for such a creepy tale. I didn't jump out of my seat, which is fine by me because I hate those types of cheap scares. There was definitely some stand out acting performances as well – I thought the kids were great. There is one scene with the little girl that has really stayed with me - totally creepy. The father character was good too, and then there was all of the Amish characters, they were good and they looked spot on.
