Hey guys! Horrorella here...
Collider has premiered the trailer for the new flick from director John McNaughton (HENRY: PORTRAIT OF A SERIAL KILLER, WILD THINGS).
THE HARVEST focuses on Maryann (Natasha Calis), a girl who befriends the sick, bedridden boy living next door (Charlie Tahan). As the two grow closer, his parents (Michael Shannon and Samantha Morton) become increasingly disapproving of the friendship, barring her from the property and insisting that their son be kept isolated in the house. You'd be tempted to think that they are just overly-cautious, protective parents, but it becomes clear that their secretive nature goes beyond parental paranoia and is hiding something sinister.
Check out the trailer below. THE HARVEST hits vod on April 10th.
In his first film in nearly 15 years, the director of Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer harks back to the depravity that made his 1986 debut a horror milestone. But less based in reality, The Harvest is closer to a fairy tale from Grimm’s darkest corners. Maryann (Natasha Calis) moves in with her grandparents after she’s orphaned. Desperately lonely, the preteen sets out to befriend a neighboring deathly ill, bed-ridden boy (Charlie Tahan), despite the outright disapproval of his mother (Samantha Morton). Maryann’s persistence pays off, however, and during a series of secret visits she gradually uncovers some seriously sinister goings-on in the house… Morton as the boy’s overprotective surgeon mom is the stuff of great screen villainy—at once utterly monstrous and tragically desperate—so much so that she makes even frequent heavy Michael Shannon, as the more subdued dad, pale in comparison.
