Soul Harvest

Something draws you in, there are alot of jump scares and its unpredictable. Its a sixth sense, meets the village. Definitely m. Night. Shyamalan impaired. I loved the twists at the end, but the 2nd last scene just... idk Something was off about it. But over all it kept my attention.

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.

I just watched this movie and I'm trying to see if I missed a deeper meaning, but its just your typical good vs evil plot which could be a good story for a movie, but this one is too confusing to enjoy the ride.I feel bad "putting" down a movie I'm sure lots of people put lots of hard work into it, but it just didn't hit the mark..for me at least. So hopefully this can be taken as constructive criticism. If anyone wants to have a movie going on in the background while you do laundry, or draw, or play a video game, this one would be great b/c the ambience isn't too bad. I'm going to put a spoiler here b/c I just have to get my thought about the ending out into the world. I think the big fire at the end is the entrance to hell and the weak people walk towards it, and the good people jump in their cars and drive away. ...but evil follows you anyway. Cheers!

I have no idea what is going on in this movie. I watched it twice and I still can't figure it out. Are they harvesting humans or is Jacob human/ghost? I can not recommend the movie. I have waisted 3hrs trying to figure this movie out. The only reason I gave it 4 stars, is the acting. I thought they were all good especially the kids.

Checking the shelves of a local DVD shop,I spotted a recent looking Horror flick on sale for £1! Finding the movie to surprisingly be selling for a good price on Ebay,I decide to jump into the combine harvester. The plot: Wanting to get away from their reliance on digital tech and hoping to repair fracturing family issues, Dinah, Jake and their two kids Steven and Michaela decide to spend time in an Amish community. Unpacking their bags,Dinah begins to hear whispers from some in the community about a grisly event which took place years ago,the after effects of which are still strong enough for Dinah to be quietly told that her and the family should leave the place right now.Pushing the whispers aside,Dinah and Jake start to get stuck into rural life. Whilst their parents dig in the garden,the children begin to see an axe-welding Amish ghost (!) who wants to grow the kids into something special. View on the film: Crop-dusting in wide crane shots over the real "Amish Country" Lancaster, PA, editor/director Ivan Kraljevic & cinematographer Cody Cuellar weave a Folk Horror atmosphere pulled by Joel Douek ice-pic score. Limiting bursts of gore to the raw opening and the odd, mythical final crop, debuting (after working on blockbusters like Gangster Squad and the show Agent Carter) director Kraljevic slides on the Folk Horror canvas with ultra-stylised tracking shots following Dinah round the house,and making everything that (unaware to Dinah) moves in the background feel eerily close. Sending the gang off for some family bonding in an isolated location,the screenplay by Ben Everhart is unable to completely escape from the shadow of The Shining,but Everhart does find room to give the family Drama a sharp turn by making the children the most knowledgeable about what is taking place,and also cleverly twisting the start for a tight fit ending that puts the family in the middle of the harvest. Trying to live the life of the Amish, Everhart wonderfully makes the already unique life style take a strange route by the Folk Horror mood making the lingering looks and restrained dialogue from the locals be mysteriously "off" as Dinah, Jake,Steven and Michaela become part of the harvest.

I really enjoyed this movie. While clearly made on a shoestring budget it has a higher production value feel, shown in the filming, score & overall sophistication. This may not be the horror movie for you if you're looking for cheap thrills, graphic gore and simple answers, and it's maybe one part horror to two parts psychological drama. It shines best in the awkwardness of the relationships, delivered as excellent & convincing performances by the actors, and makes great use of the 'lost in the past' qualities of Amish life. It does leave some questions unanswered but I think this is intentional, and secondary anyway to the deeper internal conflicts between good and evil.

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 kept waiting for something to happen . The back and forth they did between past and present did keep me watching. This movie had so much potential. But I finally ended up watching just to see the end. And that was not worth it.

After a prologue that is almost sunk by some uncertain acting, the film proper begins with Dinah (Elena Caruso) and Jake (Chris Conner) attempting to patch up their marriage by moving to Amish country. Inevitably, they bring with them their two young children. But worry not - no petulant brats here: Steven (Noah Headley) and Michaela (Accalia Quintana) are appealing, especially the little girl, whose genuine delight about the wide open spaces in their new home becomes something else entirely as the story moves on. This low budget feature is, however, possibly too restrained in its imagery. Happy to be creepy rather than terrifying, that's fair enough - Director Ivan Kraljevic at least resists the monotony of constant jump-scares few films feel they could do without. What we have is an enjoyable slow-burner that dips more than one toe into the 'folk horror' category. The nature of the horror, together with the location and the family's new neighbours provide a different spin on things. This, together with genuinely sympathetic characters, makes a superficially tame production worth seeing.
