The Harvest (2015)


Again a movie that I'd loathe to call a "horror" per se but certain was creepy as hell and sure, if I struggled to find a category for it then why not.

On the surface this one didn't seem to interest me very much but once I'd started watching it did a great job of dragging me in and holding me there.

The Harvest is dark and strange - the story follows a boy who after an accident is house-bound and cared for by his parents. Who in themselves seem very odd and tense, especially when a new young female neighbour oversteps the boundaries of their self-imposed isolation.

As the film develops you start to become aware that certainly something is wrong and off about the whole situation - it appears to be that the mother is keeping him in some sort of Munchausen By Proxy deal, but without revealing too much, it's much worse.

Acted fantastically, set perfectly and 100% one to watch.
