I recently viewed the film Dark Harvest, and it diverged from my expectations. It's a contemporary movie set in the 1950s, drawing inspiration from classic films like Jeepers Creepers, Halloween, Children of the Corn, and a touch of The Purge.

Within an isolated country community, teenagers partake in an annual tradition of hunting and killing a creature before midnight on Halloween. Success promises the community a "good harvest" for the upcoming year, but not without a heavy toll on the main characters.

The 1950s setting injects a unique angle into the overworked horror genre, capturing my interest and providing enjoyable entertainment until the end. Despite foreseeing the final twist midway through, it didn't diminish the fun of the experience. Overall, it stands as a decent choice for a Halloween horror film to watch during the night.
