The Harvesting

First thing that was wrong was the sound balance. In the beginning there are super loud effects and then most the movie you can't hear anything. Of course no speaking can be heard at non lethal volume settings. Then in the end it gets very loud again, I guess it works as a way to wake up the audience that fell asleep watching this snoozefest but I would of much rather just kept sleeping - I had this dream where I was watching a lot better movie than this.

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 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 kinda got the story of what was happening and what had happened but somewhere along the line I missed the point of all of it? Was there a point? Maybe there really wasn't a point to miss? I'm not sure. And since I'm not sure if there was one I cannot recommend. Also the film is not scary at ALL. So a definite minus on that front. The only thing about this worth anything really was the music in it was alright. And that's just background music, nothing really overwhelming there but an excuse to say something in the movie was alright.
