The greatest movie ever!

It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Struggling artist Daniel King (an insipid and underwhelming performance by Chris John) is invited by his childhood friend Natasha Carlton (a perky and appealing portrayal by the lovely Carol Kentish) to stay at her house in the coastal village where they both grew up. Daniel's bitchy fiancé Laura (an extremely irritating and off-putting turn by Lara Clancy) tags along. Alas, a dark secret from Daniel's past returns to haunt them all. Director James Shanks, who also co-wrote the talky and tedious script with Jamie Rowland and Matthew J. Coombs, not only allows the meandering and uneventful narrative to plod along at a painfully sluggish pace, but also crucially fails to generate much in the way of either tension or spooky atmosphere. Moreover, the bland main characters, flatly staged attack scenes, a crippling lack of gore, some tacky (not so) special effects, and the limp and unexciting climax don't help matters any. Fortunately, the always robust and welcome presence of Brian Blessed as fanatical priest Father Gabriel Norton injects a jolt of greatly appreciated energy in an otherwise quite dreary affair. On the plus side, the sharp cinematography by Shanks and Rory Gilmartin offers plenty of breathtaking shots of the gorgeous seaside country scenery and Richard Archer's ominous score boasts an effectively eerie chanting chorus. But overall this picture is far too clunky and poky to make much of an impression. An instantly forgettable wash-out.

The artist Daniel King (Chris John) and his mate Laura Peters (Lara Clancy) are invited to move to an old house in Cornwall, in Great Britain, by his childhood wealthy friend Natasha Carlton (Carol Kentish). Natasha has a crush on Daniel, who is an ambiguous man regarding his sentimental life. While alone in the house, weird things happen and Laura is startled and scared. When Laura meets the old insane priest Gabriel Norton (Brian Blessed) on the road, she is advised to immediately leave the house, since evil lived there. But the couple stays and has to face tragic consequences.What a messy screenplay and awful and cheesy movie this "Devil's Harvest" is! The cinematography and the camera work is not totally bad, but the amateurish performances of Chris John and Carol Kentish and direction of James Shanks, together with the terrible story, ridiculous situations and dialogs make this movie one of the worse I have ever seen in the genre. I have occasionally seen in YouTube a couple of shorts from cinema college that are better and better than the pointless and dreadful "Devil's Harvest". In the end, it is not a horror movie but a horror of movie. My vote is three.Title (Brazil): "A Colheita do Diabo" ("The Devil's Harvest")

I just wanted to leave a quick comment as its not listen on here ,but i have just seen this movie,the version I just rented was released in 2005 as far as I know and it was actually called "Don't go into the attic" I only realized it was the same movie as Devils Harvest upon searching for some of the actors who looked familiar in the movie. Anyways I'm in Ireland so maybe this has only been released over here and in the UK now,but thats what its called over here..........not really like it matters because I would not recommend this movie.The only words that spring to mind watching it are CHEESE CHEESE CHEESE!! My one mark out of ten is purely for the one little jumpy bit :o)

How in the name of decency did this film ever get made? One presumes the subtitles merely say 'awful' on every single frame of this truly dismal effort.Horrendous acting, woeful dialogue and the lack of talent from everyone involved in this nightmare make for an excruciating 90 minutes.Overall impression? A bunch of excitable drama students got lucky with a lottery grant and proceeded to make one of the most painful films ever made.This makes Hammer Horror TV shows look like Oscar material.And don't for a second think this falls into the 'so bad it's good' category. It's not even that bad.But the fart lighting scene is probably worth another look.
