Dark Harvest Score Details “Dark Harvest is an unfortunate case of missed potential.
” Pros Cons The best thing one can say about Dark Harvest is that it doesn’t waste any time letting you know exactly what it is. The film, based on a 2006 novel of the same name by Norman Partridge, opens with a bloody prologue that doesn’t so much explain itself as it sets you up for the odd tonal experience to come.
Heavily indebted to horror stories like Shirley Jackson’s The Lottery, Dark Harvest takes place in the 1960s in an unnamed small Midwestern town that forces its teenage boys to compete every year in an event called “The Run.” Let loose every Halloween night, The Run’s competitors are ordered to kill a murderous monster known as “Sawtooth Jack” and, consequently, guarantee another year’s worth of “prize crops” for their town.
The twists that eventually come in Dark Harvest’s third act should be fairly obvious to any even casually experienced horror fan. That said, the film’s script, penned by Michael Gilio, does a commendable job of ensuring that its biggest reveals land with a modicum of weight, and Likes’ performance as Richie helps communicate the emotionally devastating nature of his town’s biggest secrets.
