Dark Harvest (2023)
3/10
Boring movie with the most predictable of twists
7 November 2023
So this movie is based on a twist revealed late in the 2nd act but if you were to ask anyone who watches the first 10 minutes of the movie that if this movie had a twist, what would it be? They would 100% get it right.

I mean this movie isn't exactly The 6th Sense where it depends on that big reveal, but it is a pretty major part of the movie. It's amazing that nobody in this entire town has never bothered to ask the question that the main character asks about an hour into the movie. The really unfortunate part about this is that once they ask this question there's still another 30 minutes left in this borefest of a movie.

I don't know what else to say about this movie.

You will see the twist coming from a mile away

They never really bother explain the why of the twist, just that it is the way it is.

There really is zero lore development in this movie, just all the boys of a certain age in this town are tasked to kill this monster every year.

The kills and effects aren't bad but they also aren't interesting.

The last act of this movie is so focused on that twist that they never bother going into other question that weren't answered in the first 10 minutes. Why does this spirit haunt the town every Halloween? Why is it only 18 year old boys that can hunt it? Why the starvation? What happened that made this year go so badly? Why has nobody bothered asking the *really* obvious question that answers this movies twist?

It doesn't answer or even bother asking any of those questions. It's just a bland movie. Barely even a popcorn flick.
