In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

A group of various annoying folks who are on some kind of nature hike find themselves stuck in the middle of nowhere after their van breaks down. The group stumble across a sacred Indian burial ground that's watched over by a malevolent killer scarecrow.Boy, does this hilariously horrendous hunk of junk possess all the right wrong stuff to qualify as a real four-star stinkeroonie: We've got flat (non)direction by James I. Nicholson (who also wrote the silly script), a plodding pace, tacky gore, irritating bickering characters (whiny and abrasive New York City shrew Jude in particular rates as an especially obnoxious ordeal to put up with), a hysterically hokey and unconvincing scarecrow, zero tension or spooky atmosphere, a meandering narrative, and rank amateurish acting by a lame no-name cast. On the plus side, Nicholson makes neat use of the desolate desert locations and several women bare their breasts in the name of low-grade exploitation. A total cruddy hoot.

First of all I absolutely adore horror movies about killer scarecrows for example William Wesley's "Scarecrows" is an classic of B-movie horror."Dark Harvest" plays like an unofficial sequel of it.A broken down van strands a group of college students in the middle of the desert.Forced to hike their way out they unwittingly enter a sacred Indian burial ground.There is a bloodthirsty scarecrow on the loose that promptly starts killing them...Very bad and amateurish horror flick with some of the worst acting I have ever seen.The action moves at snail's pace,the film drags relentlessly and the killer scarecrow looks poor.There is a bit of nudity for anyone interested.It's no surprise that "Dark Harvest" aka "Bloody Harvest" is completely obscure.Death reaps what you sow.Yeah,right.3 scarecrows out of 10.

The first 20 minutes of this movie are relatively well made and you honestly would'nt guess that it was an amateurish B-movie horror flick. Everything from the setting to the annoying cast to the dialog seems pretty OK until the actual murders start happening. This is what keeps it from getting a score of 1/10. The shock will hit you when you notice that the bad guy is just a cheap costume with an F-grade special effect for lighting up his eyes. The murder and attack scenes are of course dumb and unscary. The murders happen rather quickly and the hero is also quick to dispatch of the bad guy. The scene where a flare is fired to blow up the bad guy is however, constitutes the worst effects and screenplay I've ever seen. While this is just badly made amateurish crap as far as its own concept is concerned, it is far from the worst in the business.

I am one of those people who will seek fulfillment in the viewing of hard to obtain trashy low budget films deemed so bad that they're good... however, under no circumstance can I even begin to describe how bad this film really is... for it was so bad that I now reside in the relatively safe practice of paint by numbers, all because I mentally could not bear to see another mistake like this. Please don't feel you must now go and watch this film simply for what is been said here, because I mean every word... if you feel you must, then consider this! You may want try eating raw putrefying entrails instead, simply because you will gain much more satisfaction from this, than enduring this utterly harrowing lethargy of motion pictures.It was my own fault! I felt I had to see it through to the end, thinking somehow that I was hardcore, It was a self-inflicted punishment, I believed I could handle it.... And now its too late, almost 90 minutes of my life is truly gone, and i'll never get it back.Save yourself from this, learn from my mistake.... do the ironing, or inflict paper cuts on the webs of your toes, JUST Don't DO IT....
