Elizabeth Harvest

I do recommend this movie to anyone that likes science. It's a brilliant film and with depth. The metaphors shouldn't go unnoticed. Elizabeth plays the part of a submissive wife while Henry is a narcissistic abusive power hungry god complex doctor. A brilliant scientist. Is there a coincidence that there names are Henry and Katherine? I think not. There are no coincidences in this life. King Henry and his daughter Katherine. You will understand why while watching them together. For the synopsis. We start with the two main characters in the honeymoon phase. They come home to Henry's smart house. He has fingerprint code locks on every room. He gives her a tour of the home and at the end of the tour, he brings her to a frosted glass door that her fingerprint will NOT open, she's forbidden and must never disobey her husband by entering. But of course curiosity killed the Kat (pun intended) But Henry was well aware that she would in fact enter the room, he was counting on it. Elizabeth has a very deep dark secret and I won't unravel it it unravels itself fairly early in the film. But there are multiple twists after the room reveal that I found intriguing and brilliant. The movie is for intellectuals, not for the brain capacity of a fast and furious fan as another critic noted. If you have the brain capacity of a 19 year old frat boy skip this one you will be bored. No need for the 1 -3 Stars from some reviews as it simply went over there heads.

Did not have great expectations for this unknown sleeper of a horror movie. Starts off slow as this old man and his "way too hot/young for him" wife arrive at his secluded modern and rich estate. She seems half drugged and it is weird that a bride wouldn't have seen her new husband's estate before. Looked like some "same old" garbage but the plot twists soon enough and it grabbed me from then out. The bride's "goofiness" is explained slowly but surely. There are several holes in the plot that bugged me a bit but it was still a cut above most schlock horror junk! Weird and bizarre like good horror should be! Spoiler alert(don't read on): So, in the diary flashback, when Elizabeth #2 escapes and the cop Logan comes to the house for an explanantion, Claire and Henry say that she is Claire's cousin ( or some relative ) and she's mentally unstable and prone to make up things etc. They cut away and we are to "expect" that Henry paid Logan off to cover-up the matter. But later in the timeline, Logan treats Elizabeth as Henry's young bride and asks where she is etc. So what happened that Logan went from being told she was Claire's unstable cousin to "accepting her" as Henry's wife? Kind of a big leap to not explain! Also, the son/clone Oliver was way way too adept for a blind guy. Not just shooting and killing Logan with Elizabeth #5 in close proximity - how did he know he wouldn't hit her? But he floated around without any hint that he couldn't see anything. Just a gauze. Too handi-capable for my tastes.

"Elizabeth Harvest" is an intricate indie thriller which does a great job at building up suspense and unease throughout. We are introduced to Elizabeth (Abbey Lee) a beautiful new bride, being taken to her new high tech home by husband Henry (Ciaran Hinds). She meets the housekeeper, uptight Claire (Carla Gugino) and the blind, flower picker Oliver (Matthew Beard). As she tours the grand home, one room in particular catches her eye to which Henry forbids her from ever entering. Shocking discoveries and dark truths are what lies past the frosted glass door, but will Elizabeth enter? Abbey Lee has had small bit parts throughout the past few years and so I was surprised at how great she was in the movie, although the British accent falters somewhat (she's Australian), she maintains our interest as the lead character. The rest of the performers are all on fine form too. Quite a few twists and revaluations happen quick and fast, and these kick off pretty quickly actually (after the first 30 minutes). Overall, I'd recommend this indie thriller.

Elizabeth Harvest is a well acted, well thought out, intelligent, twisty indie thriller movie that will keep you thinking; if not a little puzzled till the end. Well worth a watch if you enjoy a thought provoking movie; however, if your tipple is more inclined to film with tragic storylines and terrible acting about idiots driving cars fast and presuming it's cool. Then this movie isn't for you!

I really enjoyed the movie. Dark and mysterious. Nice cast. By the way. Is the female nudity reason of poor reception? There's a lot of it in the movie. I exactly know in what world we live right now and many people want to make female nudity taboo again. Today there are not many films with females *, but if any appears, it is always criticized.

Well it's supposed to be clever & unusual, but it just comes off as being confusing, sick, twisted & weird. Too many fragments make the story line jump around, and in the end, you have no idea who is who, or what happened when. Dont bother!!

I enjoyed this film. It is different. I can't recall seeing another movie that is quite like it. Elizabeth is a newlywed who is honeymooning with her much older billionaire husband at his private mountain property. The only other people present are a female and blind male who are servants. The home is rather large and Elizabeth is free to enjoy all areas of the property with the only exception being a room that her husband, whom we learn to be a intelligent man of science, has specifically denied her access to. Elizabeth, who seems to come off as a bit ditsy, has a curious nature chooses to explore the room after her husband goes out of town on business. It is at this point she learns more than she bargained for and her life takes a turn for the worse. That is about all I can say about the plot without adding spoilers but I didn't see what was coming and I love that about this film. You are introduced to several different plot twists that pull you in different directions. I've seen that a few people weren't impressed by our lead actress and felt that her acting was off. I didn't feel that way. I felt that her acting was very much in line with her character and what may have initially seemed like bad acting is revealed to be a part of her character. I liked it and felt as though it was a good watch.

I am not sure why this movie has received such a low IMDB rating. I got hooked from the very first scene and since then it was a quite intense ride indeed. There was never a moment I felt bored. I especially found cinematography, editing, and score really fascinating. Setting of the movie in an isolated location only adds to the intrigue of the story. Beautifully done thriller all around.

I don't know what everyone is raving about. This isn't particularly thrilling or thought provoking or interesting for that matter. Heres why... *SPOILER ALERT*...... ..... Mans wife dies. Man clones wife. Man kills cloned wife and enjoys it. Man clones wife and kills her... Wash, rinse, repeat. Then the same boring ending all of these films has. That's right you guessed it clone kills man and escapes. Roll credits

A very young woman marries an older doctor. In their honeymoon he shows his impressive house and explains that everything belongs to her but there is one room she should never get into. As it obvious she did to and things get very ugly. Explaining more will ruin the many unpredictable surprises after that event. The movie becomes more interesting and engaging even when its pace is it sometimes a bit slow. The cast is perfect with the calm tone of the movie. Abbey Lee is surprisingly good in a character that needs to generate empathy and sympathy in order for the movie to work. Ciarán Hinds and Matthew Beard are intriguing and mix of good and diabolic as they can be without much effort. The underrated Carla Gugino perfectly handles a mysterious character whose motivations are unclear until the very end. The only major critics could be; the pace that is sometimes a bit slow and those looking for pure horror will be disappointed; this is mix of science fiction and horror; but overall there are many interesting things to think about that will stay with you after the movie ends. In brief; far from shallow a movie that deserves to be seen
