I know this is a stressful time of the year, when you’re inundated with new titles to watch while trying to squeeze in the Golden Oldies like Slumber Party Massacre and Poltergeist. So let me just say this, you should put Night of the Harvest to the top of your viewing list because it effortlessly articulates the essence of Halloween. There are going to be a lot of titles that take place around Samhain, but very few of them feel like you’re in the holiday.

It’s that time of the year again.

For those of you who love horror films, it’s that time of the year all your round. But it’s always extra special when a horror film is centered around Halloween. “Trick ‘R Treat” is one of my new favorite classics, “House of 1000 Corpses” is set on Halloween, and of course, “Halloween”… DUH!

So I was especially stoked to see the preview for “Night of the Harvest.” Not only is it a chance to get back to reviewing horror movies, which I’ve missed terribly, but it’s in that niche I love so well — Halloween horror.

Co-director Carter is also the cinematographer. His eye for how to use the frame, coupled with the dark oranges and almost Giallo-tinged reds of the lighting choices, gives the entire picture a properly creepy and sinister atmospheric vibe. 

Most importantly, directors Christopher M. Carter and Jessica Morgan make it a fun ride for horror fiends. After all, horror films (especially any slasher picture worth its salt) should be a thrilling and popcorn-chomping good time....

I appreciate any movie coming at us with some turns and unexpected delights to keep the slasher formula fresh, and that is exactly what Night Of The Harvest does. If you are a blood- or gore-hound, Night Of The Harvest should not disappoint. It’s not wildly brutal or anything, but it’s definitely bloody, and it shows several visceral scenes of people getting stabbed, slashed, and hacked.

A year after surviving a brutal attack, Madison is still grappling with the trauma of that night. Seeking a sense of normalcy, she reluctantly agrees to join her sister, Audrey, and her friends at a Halloween bash, hoping for a night of fun and distraction. But the festive atmosphere quickly turns deadly when a masked killer begins to hunt them down one by one. Madison must confront her deepest fears and uncover the sinister secrets that bind her to this horror.

More bodies are going to fall during the horrific holiday.
