Blood Harvest

I recently watched Blood Harvest (2023) on Prime. The storyline follows a family that moves back to their mom's hometown after she passes away. The children start unraveling details about their family's past that might be better left unknown. Those who aim to keep the skeletons in the closet soon intrude on the family's life.

Directed by Danny LeGare (Finders Keepers) and starring Jason London (Dazed and Confused), Robert LaSardo (The Mule), Eva Hamilton (Ruin Me), and Sheila Ball (By Deception), this movie had a classic setup with potential, thanks to well-selected settings and a strong cast. Unfortunately, the storyline never gains momentum, and the horror elements are limited. The intended intensity of the blurry facial sequences falls short, and the kill scenes are either scarce or nonexistent. The acting and dialogue are average and lack a natural feel. While the plot boasts numerous twists, turns, and solid character reveals, the ending doesn't deliver the intended dramatic impact.

In conclusion, Blood Harvest lacks authentic performances and sufficient horror elements to justify your time. I would rate this a 2/10 and recommend skipping it.
