Jeffrey P Peaks too soon and loses most of the mystery, suspense, and intrigue by the halfway point. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 11/11/23 Full Review Courtney K i actually quite enjoyed this one; i liked the plot & everyone acted their parts well. not a bad watch at all. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/20/23 Full Review Kate D Pretty darn nifty mix of classic Gothic tale with Grimm Fairy tale done as a sci-fi thriller. Acting is tops across the board. Gugino always steals the show but the titular Elizabeth Abbey Lee is subtle and stunning in veddy veddy clever ways. My guess is this will continue to attract a cult following until folks stop comparing it to Garland and Nolan, both whom are a but more aggressively masculine in their approach. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/05/23 Full Review Amy F This is a very interesting science fiction film with a touch of horror. It's full of surprises and not something you would expect as you're watching it unfold. It reminded me of the movie Inception as the main characters understanding of reality was drastically altered throughout the movie. I don't know why there are so many poor reviews, but I would imagine it has a a bit to do with misogyny (too many incel types seem to stalk certain movie reviews). Once one sees the movie, you come to realize that a brilliant woman scientist is at the center of this plot and another beautiful women is the main character. For all intents and purposes, this is an extremely good movie. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review s l I don't watch many movies like this so if the story presented is a common one, I wouldn't know. I liked it. I thought it was well made. I didn't have too many criticisms or 'wishes they would've' throughout the movie. It did get me confused in a couple parts, which I could've done without I think. Those parts did get straightened out eventually. It wasn't chock full of science stuff, which I expected, so I guess it was geared more towards a horror/mystery tale than SciFi. The setting was creepy imho. Despite the house's luxuriousness, it was almost worse imagining being there alone than being in a creepy gothic style house alone. I'd recommend it. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Elizabeth (Abbey Lee, The Neon Demon) has just married Dr. Henry Kellenberg (Ciarán Hinds) and they've returned to his mansion, a place where only two other people live: Claire (Carla Gugino), the housekeeper, and Henry's blind son Oliver (Matthew Beard). She's living in opulence with only one rule: never go in that basement room. And for a while, it's good enough. She has clothes and jewelry and luxury and yes, it's enough. But every time, Henry goes to work and leaves her alone and one time he's gone too long. So she goes into that room. It's filled with clones of her. Henry comes home, hacks her to pieces and Claire and Oliver help him bury the body. At this point, Elizabeth Harvest has been a giallo and now, it embraces some fantasy to turn it into something else. Something fresh. Six weeks later, we come back to the beginning of the movie, with Elizabeth returning home after the wedding, becoming bored by the trappings of the giant home and discovering the lab. And this time, when Henry attacks her, she actually turns the tables and kills him, a moment which gives Claire a heart attack and Oliver the chance to lock her up and force her to read his father's diary to him. The surprises don't end there. Director and writer Sebastian Gutierrez wrote Gothika and directed Rise: Blood Hunter, Women In Trouble and that movie's sequel Elektra Luxx. This is much like the story Bluebeard but given a futuristic twist. There's also some great flashback scenes that are shot monochromatically and lots of arresting visuals. Sure, there's a lot of talking, but the movie works. If giallo survives into the next century — I would say that it has — it must embrace the future while referencing the past. Elizabeth Harvest makes a good effort. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Read all reviews
