I’d recommend it for fans of sci-fi horror and films like Ex Machina.Įlizabeth Harvest will be available on Digital Download from 1st April and can be bought here. REVIEW: Writer/Director: Sebastian Gutierrez. ![]() I thoroughly enjoyed Elizabeth Harvest and give it an excellent four out of five stars. ![]() If you’re a fan of Carla Gugino like me, you won’t be disappointed with her role. No one is who they first seem to be and part of the charm of the film is the flashbacks where Elizabeth must work to unravel each of the characters. I love films that do that, the ones that make you pay attention when you're watching them and haunt you long afterwards with "but wait." moments.Īn excellent independent film, Elizabeth Harvest has a tiny cast and supporting Abbie and Ciarán are Carla Gugino as Claire, Matthew Beard as Oliver and Dylan Baker as Logan. I’m constantly searching for clever, ‘thinky’ horror and Elizabeth Harvest ticked all the boxes for me - fantastic performances, beautiful cinematography and a plot that kept rolling about in my mind for hours after I’d watched the film. When he goes away on business, leaving Elizabeth to rattle around the vast home on her own, the temptation of that one room becomes too much to resist.īut behind that door lies a horror beyond her wildest imagination and Elizabeth soon finds herself in a surreal and disorientating fight for survival.Īnd just when you think you know where the film is going, it changes course completely. Husband Henry (Ciarán Hinds, Game of Thrones) allows Elizabeth the run of the house but forbids that she enter one room. Little does she know it was only ever going to be her and she has less choice in the matter than she imagined. As she wonders through the rooms of their stunning hilltop home, Elizabeth can’t help but wonder why her brilliant, rich and talented scientist husband chose her, a simple girl by her own definition. Sebastian Gutierrez's Elizabeth Harvest is a clever sci-fi horror that delivers a surprising, if not utterly disturbing punch and keeps even the most clever of viewers guessing until the end.Įlizabeth (Abbey Lee, The Neon Demon) has married the man of her dreams. Still, it looked good so I watched it anyway and discovered that I’m not quite the genius I thought I was. I watched the trailer for Elizabeth Harvest, read the synopsis, took a look at the title and guessed the whole plot. IFC Films will release Gutierrez's Elizabeth Harvest in select theaters + on VOD starting on August 10th.I thought I had it all figured out. Elizabeth Harvest is both written and directed by Venezuelan filmmaker Sebastian Gutierrez, director of the films Judas Kiss, Rise: Blood Hunter, Women in Trouble, Elektra Luxx, Girl Walks Into a Bar, and Hotel Noir previously. When he goes away for business Elizabeth decides to investigate and finds she may not be who she thinks she is at all. Henry explains that everything in his world now belongs to her, all is for her to play in - all except for a locked-off room he forbids her from entering. The house staff Claire (Carla Gugino) and Oliver (Matthew Beard) treat her deferentially but she can't shake the feeling something is off. Newlywed Elizabeth (Abbey Lee) arrives with her brilliant scientist husband Henry (Ciaran Hinds) to his magnificent estate, where he wows her with lavish dinners and a dazzling tour of the property. Here's the official US trailer (+ poster) for Sebastian Gutierrez's Elizabeth Harvest, direct from YouTube: " Elizabeth Harvest casts a spell of creeping Gothic menace as it unravels a disturbing tale of identity, obsession, and twisted love." Abbey Lee stars with Ciarán Hinds, Dylan Baker, Carla Gugino, & Matthew Beard. They don't reveal much in this trailer, but it seems to be a mix of body horror and psychological horror. The film is the latest from Venezuelan filmmaker Sebastian Gutierrez ( Elektra Luxx, Hotel Noir) and is about a woman who is about to get married to a brilliant scientist, until she finally opens the locked door in his home and discovers what's behind it. "Sometimes it feels like my mind is just one question after another."
