Review of Elizabeth Harvest (2018) by Intrippyentropy — 21 Jun 2019
First the good. The blind boy, a mad scientist and Claire, the scientists collaborator are all good actors. The idea is interesting. A rich doctor brings his beautiful young bride home to his amazing modernist house.
Although I have to tell you, the mostly empty immaculately decorated Ikea house is getting a little old. She wanders about the house looking at the expensive and beautiful furnishings . She treats her not as his wife, but more as his child.
About a half-hour in, she opens the door that he told her not to, and the horror begins. What does it mean to be human. Is a robot human? Or a clone? I thought of the self-aware robot in alien and the replicants in Blade Runner.
Can you experiment with them or kill them? As a viewer, you're expecting a lot from a man with unlimited wealth, great knowledge as a doctor exploring these Timeless subjects. The not so good. But what you get instead is a talky brutal nudie muddled sci-fi horror movie.
There are very few conversations in this movie that seem like they would ever happen in real life. There's lots of killing and nudity. The women in this movie are both beautiful. But seem to have forgotten to get dressed.
A lot. It's very unnecessary. And you begin to feel sorry for the actresses. Director Gutierrez certainly has talent.
