You won't be disappointed!

Disappointment for a huge fan!

Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

I was expecting more. There are some good actors. The movie is more like an afterschool special of horror movies, seriously. Do not expect to be scared. Some good anxiety moments, but the plot was underwhelming. Not really a B-movie, not sure how to classify this. Like I said before good acting, but the plot is a big nope for me. Left a lots of things unanswered in the plot and at the end.

I have watched this one a couple of times to make sure I felt about it the way I did the first time I watched it, and I do. It's a slow-building drama with a lot of quiet dialog, but that makes Samantha Morton's outbursts that much more jarring and intense. Michael Shannon is able to convey a lot of emotion with very little action, and the child actors in the film do a good job holding their own. I won't give away any plot, as to talk about any of it would lead me down the spoiler path, but if you like a good thriller with a disturbing concept, this is worth a watch (or three). It's not a "lights off" type of movie, and I wouldn't classify it as horror, but it's a tense thriller in the vein of Fatal Attraction or The Gift. And, it's worth mentioning Samantha Morton again - she plays her role with utter abandon. You believe that she is her character and she's utterly captivating. While she does have shouting and drooling to get her point across, her subtle changes in facial expression and the scariness of her smile is awesome too.

This has turned out to be one of my favorite thrillers in recent years. Repeated viewings with friends have reinforced my opinion, as all have really praised and liked the film. I have realized that some of my early doubts about whether the dialogue had errors was because some references related to events the film had not yet revealed. The only reason i didn't give this a 10 is because both the DVD case and the "page" where you press "play film" have a picture that ABSOLUTELY shouldn't be seen before viewing the film, for maximum impact. The twists in this film during the second half are terrific and terrifying, and those who say they saw it coming from way off must be clairvoyant, for I sure was caught by total surprise. I love "horror" or "thriller" films that stay close to reality, rather than those that deal with demons, religious curses, and monsters that don't resemble anything that has ever been seen on the planet. This one absolutely does, and anyone who says this is like a "Lifetime Movie" would have to list some that compare to this, as I sure haven't seen any.

Can't Come Out to Play (aka Harvest) is a rather unsatisfying movie. The initial situation is intriguing, but as it progresses the "Why, why why?" response kicks in.With Peter Fonda in the cast I expected something a bit more Machiavellian, and it could have gone that way. However admittedly that route would not have satisfied the 'Horror' label it lays claim to. What was incredibly hard to swallow was Maryann's grandparents' immediate dismissal of her pleas and concerns. You would expect them, under the circumstances of her having to come to live with them, to be more indulgent and not less. This would be the point at which Grandad - Peter Fonda - could have become more involved in some kind of psychological chess game with Katherine (Samantha Morton). Instead, Fonda gets about six lines in the film, one of which - "Follow your heart" - is the kind of disappointing cliché so utterly useless to a child whose life might well be in danger. I don't know if the story comes from a book - in which case, I can't blame the film - but I have wonderful visions of another, different film.Anyway, there are some impressive performances in this film, Samantha Morton most notable, but also Michael Shannon, the long- suffering husband, who manages to get through the entire movie without cracking a smile. In securing the affections of Sandra (Meadow Williams) he is punching well above his weight, which shows that he might have more verve than you think.Already mentioned in another review is the discrepancy in the two boys' ages, which can only be reconciled if the real son has remained in an arrested state of development by becoming bed bound, and ventilated, drip fed and over medicated for some time. A mistake like this is hard to believe, which makes me wonder if there is something we the audience have failed to understand.As is the habit of fantasy thrillers, there are several points in the story at which the more pragmatic among us will be shouting, "Call the police!" or "Just call social services!". But of course it's not a documentary. And yet it needs just a little more to tip the scales, i.e. 'no one will believe me/is around because {reason} so I have NO choice but to do it myself'. And it's so much for an orphan schoolgirl to take on.So I give it a 6 for keeping me, and my generally unimpressible son, engaged for an hour and holding back until the point of incredulity the inevitable introduction of jokes. Like the closing scene where Andy surely "has become a major league baseball player!"
