All talk, no terror Dark Harvest starts with promise a little early skin to hook you, some rural menace, a creepy setup and then immediately buries itself under endless talking. Fifteen minute ghost stories, ponderous pauses, and exposition stacked on exposition until the movie forgets it’s supposed to scare anyone. Whatever folk-horror mood it was building collapses into baffling choices that feel way bigger than the budget or the script can support. Even the occasional flashes of nudity can’t distract from how little momentum or payoff there is. Scarecrow helicopter end. Dull, overcooked, and weird in the wrong ways. A handful of early perks can’t save a movie that talks itself to death and then jumps the scarecrow shaped shark. Slip looks better than the film plays.
