TERRIBLE!

[gremsbmw-27271 · 2/10 · 15 September 2023]

The whole concept- "there must be blood sacrifice for the land to provide" says some mysterious entity (very derivative of "He who walks behind the rows", reversed - adults live, not kids) is so thinly developed, not to mention nonsensical. How in the hell has this culty farm society even been able to exist if the children are ritually sacrificed? Wouldn't the whole thing have died out generations ago?

Not to mention that NONE of the main characters are even remotely likable! Well, Jake was sort of sympathetic, but so stupid! His sister knew he was clairvoyant, yet he continued to deny it, even when he was literally CONSTANTLY seeking visions, both past and future.

It was very predictable, poorly executed, and overall disappointing. If you're going to pull the curtain back on Hollywood's history of ritual child sacrifice, at least make it decent cinema!

Blood Harvest lacks authentic performances and sufficient horror elements to justify your time

[kevin_robbins · 2/10 · 25 November 2023]

I recently watched Blood Harvest (2023) on Prime. The storyline follows a family that moves back to their mom's hometown after she passes away. The children start unraveling details about their family's past that might be better left unknown. Those who aim to keep the skeletons in the closet soon intrude on the family's life.

Directed by Danny LeGare (Finders Keepers) and starring Jason London (Dazed and Confused), Robert LaSardo (The Mule), Eva Hamilton (Ruin Me), and Sheila Ball (By Deception), this movie had a classic setup with potential, thanks to well-selected settings and a strong cast. Unfortunately, the storyline never gains momentum, and the horror elements are limited. The intended intensity of the blurry facial sequences falls short, and the kill scenes are either scarce or nonexistent. The acting and dialogue are average and lack a natural feel. While the plot boasts numerous twists, turns, and solid character reveals, the ending doesn't deliver the intended dramatic impact.

In conclusion, Blood Harvest lacks authentic performances and sufficient horror elements to justify your time. I would rate this a 2/10 and recommend skipping it.

The perfect torture film

[phantommullet-92434 · 1/10 · 8 November 2023]

I don't know what else these people were going for other than to make something to torture answers out of me. I don't know what they wanted, but I wanted to give it to them to make it stop.

The sound engineer is either incompetent or an evil genius. They recorded about 20 to 30 seconds of ambient outside noise that they played on loop during every scene where it is daytime (90% of the movie). That clicking bird on the same off rather pattern made me want to drive a spike through my head.

Everything is mixed so poorly. I constantly had to adjust the volume between scenes.

The cinematographer also needs to clean their camera lense. The scene where the daughter wonders around the house at night (a needed reprieve from the birds) had dirt on the lens. Inthought I had four deadly pixels on my TV for a minute.

The direction and acting.... did they tell these people to mumble? It's so bad that the AI generated subtitles on prime couldn't understand about 10% of it.

Oh, and the story. Done before. Boring.

Don't give them the view unless you need the detonation code from your enemy.

Was there enough blood?

[QuinTekno · 6/10 · 18 February 2023]

Not the best movie out there but definitely worth the watch.

I didn't know anything about it when I started the movie but it kind of surprised me, especially by today's standards.

Let's be honest, in my opinion most "horror" movies that came out the past couple of years weren't the best so I wasn't really sure about this one.

And yes, the plot has done before in multiple movies but, this one really took a different take on it, which I appreciate.

The acting could have been better but don't let that distract you from the story which is a deep dive into the siblings looking to dig up the past.

There are some very good and pretty disturbing scenes in there and I think it's definitely worth watching it.

Uncle Ollie

[shuravalentine · 6/10 · 23 February 2023]

Uncle Ollie might be the best actor in this movie.

The mother is a bad actor the father is even worse than a 3rd rate actor. Why would you even add a scene where they're making love during stressful time?.

The girl is ignorant/annoying the whole time +rude to the elderly.

The boy keep everything secret about his vision only until the mid-late movie but great actor.

The concept is great but it was executed poorly due to the camera work and the progress of the story. It's like a family meeting instead being a ''town that's haunted''.

Sorry for the rambling but it is what it is. Good movie but not great.
