A Tale of Two Families.......2007-02-22

As the movie opens we see a female jogger get dragged off. The story then switches to the U.S. Marshals and their attempt to capture a gang. At least some of this gang is related. They keep to rural areas and target small businesses for robbery. The Marshals are hot on their heels after one of them causes a ruckus at a strip joint. Then things begin to go worse. Between bickering, a botched theft, a killing, and a broken down car, the gang kidnaps a motorist in hopes of getting a place to rest up for a bit.

Their refuge is the home of a white-bread family. Their bad luck continues as the Marshals remain on their heels and the family proves very hard to control. Soon people are running and being chased and then the tables get turned as the crooks are on the run from the family. The family is even more twisted then they are. Despite their white-bread appearances they are in the business of abducting people and selling their organs on the black market. In their minds a whole bunch of bonuses tried to take over their home. Two desperate families, each out to do the other in and survive. Who gets it, by whom, and who doesn't makes up the final third of the film with twists and turns the whole way.

This was an interesting film. The organ business almost seemed like it should be a surprise. Except the film is called The Harvesters and the tag line is that They Want Your Body... Parts. So it's not a surprise. There were also a few odd scenes thrown in where badly computer-generated scenes were thrown in. On is a car driving past the strip club. Another (and the most fake looking) is a car driving up to the house and turning off its lights. I don't know why these scenes were handled this way but it was jarring and hurt the flow of the film. Still the film had some charm. It had some of the feeling of Parents or The People Under The Stairs but was not quite up to their levels. A lot of nudity was thrown in (the bathtub scene was unneeded), cat fights, gore, creative deaths, lots of running all wrapped around a plot that was plausible. If you like films with creative body counts then you will probably like this one

Harvesters... not even good enough to be a B-movie........2005-01-11

CRAPPIEST MOVIE EVER! Ok... so that's what I was looking for in the rental place... but man... I didn't expect that. Sure it should be rated higher because there is gratuitous nudity, but even gratuitous nudity needs to seem motivated somehow. But nothing in the script was motivated at all. 15-30 minutes could have also been edited out of the movie to make it tolerable... but at points there are blocks 15 minutes on end with no dialogue. The geography of the setting is impossible to decipher, due to a lack of establishing shots. Although hollywood film makers break all sorts of rules while filming, they still try to have good scripts most of the time... and coherent editing techniques, even in horror films. As for the other reviews I doubt that someone connected with the film didn't write them, because it has a face that no one but a mother could love. However, for B-movie makers, the MAKING OF segment on the DVD was educational, since the gore makeup was actually quite good. The movie was suspenseLESS and after an hour just became annoying. At one point they even used EXTREMELY cheap CGI to put in a driving car... which could have been left out of the establishing shot since it had no influence on the story line whatsoever. Terrible... F.

A Bogus Crop.......2002-04-26

Harvesters had a chance from the start to be a pretty good film,
but it flopped. Maybe because of direction, maybe because of differences of ideas, whatever.
One thing that messed up this film was the silly CGI/visual effects. Watch for them with the guy driving his car by the screen and the other one when they are driving down the dirt road to the "Harvester" house.
The movie did have some good scenes and the acting was ok
rent it first see what you think,I own it and i'm not impressed

with it.

Great Horror Movie Fun!.......2002-03-28

If you enjoyed TEXAS CHAINSAW and NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD, you'll love HARVESTERS! Leanna Chamish, who plays the beautiful and deadly Betty Peelman, is remarkable. You might call her "the real Mrs. Cleaver". The rest of the cast is great, too. Excellent production values and an interesting story line provide chills in the great drive-in horror movie tradition. You'll want to settle down with a big bowl of popcorn and turn out the lights before spinning this terrific DVD. Enjoy!

Better than the average B-Movie.......2002-02-28

Harvesters is way above the average B-movie. I've seen a lot of low-budget stuff, but this one really stands out. It's got good acting, nice special effects, many gruesome death scenes, and a kick-butt ending. The DVD quality is outstanding, with good picture image and great sound quality. It also has an informative "making of" special feature that I found very entertaining. There are two trailers included, as well. This movie isn't for the kids (language and nudity), but for horror and suspense fans, it's sure to please! I recommend it.
