There are then the ethical and moral issues that are never directly addressed but subliminally hinted at through the lust, nudity, jealousy, and violence of the film. The film constantly sheds its skin, evolving and changing into something new and different with each passing act, but holding true to the “choice and consequence” theme that is rife within the dialogue. There’s a lot that one can read into without dealing with the surface issues, which play second fiddle to the substance of the film-the relationship between choice and consequence. While most definitely a film about cloning and the ethics thereof, Elizabeth Harvest also isn’t. One can infer from the title word “harvest” accompanied by a human name that the film probably has something to do with cloning (or perhaps or organ “harvesting”), an observation quickly confirmed by any and every synopsis available. The returning detective and constant misdirection reminded me a bit of Sleuth (1972 or 2007). Whether that was intentional or not, I have no idea.
The score, the dialogue, that characters-a lot of it felt like Gutierrez was paying homage to those mystery/thrillers from decades past.

The film definitely has a very unique feel about it, like I was watching a movie that was a huge hit back in the 80s. Of course, as soon as Henry leaves on a quick business trip, Elizabeth has no choice but to take a bite of that apple, her curiosity a metaphorical serpent whispering common plot tropes. The catch? In a very Brothers Grimm/Disney/Genesis fashion, Henry informs Elizabeth that everything the light touches belongs to her, but she is forbidden from entering a singular room.

Elizabeth has full access to every magnificent room, complete with all the clothing, jewelry, wine, and whatever other luxuries her heart may desire. Starring the always debonair Ciarán Hinds and model-turned-actress Abbey Lee, along with the talents of Carla Gugino, Matthew Beard, and Dylan Baker, Elizabeth Harvest tells the story of Elizabeth and Henry-newlyweds honeymooning at Henry’s lavish mansion, complete with servants, banquets, and everything the beautiful, young bride could ever want. When he goes away for business, Elizabeth decides to investigate.įrom writer/director Sebastian Gutierrez comes a story of replication that is surprisingly unique. Henry explains that everything in his world now belongs to her, all is for her to play in – all except for a locked-off room he forbids her from entering. The house staff Claire (Carla Gugino) and Oliver (Matthew Beard) treat her deferentially but she can’t shake the feeling something is off.
Newlywed Elizabeth (Abbey Lee) arrives with her brilliant scientist husband Henry (Ciarán Hinds) at his magnificent estate, where he wows her with lavish dinners and a dazzling tour of the property.
