James Bishop is a young psychology resident, excited about his new job at St. Andrews Mental Hospital and the chance to help severely ill patients. The excitement changes to puzzlement, concern and finally terror as some of those patients mysteriously die and James' efforts to find the cause results in increasingly strange behavior from the St. Andrews staff. Things begin to clarify when James finally encounters the Harvester...

Don't even waste your time, let alone pay rental for this piece of dreck! How it got made is beyond me. (I don't know why there's a minimum of 10 lines... I've already summarized this trashy movie, but, oh well...) The acting was awful, like they all needed lessons. The plot was weak, the ending... Feh! I think the cinematography was the only thing that didn't totally suck... well, maybe the sound was minimalistically OK. The one good thing is, if they could make this movie, even make some money with it, there may be hope for any screenwriter with a REAL idea. So, you-all take heart! I guess the same holds true of actors... if these people actually got paid, then you can, too!

If I have to give this movie a score on a linear scale, then I have to give it a low score 3/10.But it was entertaining, and there are several good things to say about the movie.The psychiatrist candidate James Bishop is assigned to St. Andrews Hospital for his resident, and is exited and eager to "change the world". From the beginning of the movie you know that the hospital is hiding an evil truth, but James thinks he can make a difference and doesn't recognise this evil. The story builds fairly well, you know all the time that there is a truth in what the patients are telling about some resident evil, and wonder when and how James will discover this. Also when the break comes, James is in a way hunted by the evil, and you feel some suspense until "the fight" is over.Add an innocent beautiful girlfriend that arrives at the worst possible time and other standard horror elements, and you get the picture.The character buildup is actually fairly good, you are introduced to most of the people that gets killed, some of them you "get to know".The film sets an unpleasant scene, this is also done fairly well. There are mysteries that are unveiled - in an acceptable way.The main character, James is very believable - the story about an eager student starting to work is good in this setting.What kills this movie is: * Stupid special effects - a modern version of "Plan 9 from outer space"-type bad (the evil monster looks like a red scarecrow) * Some bad acting (or probably very few takes when filming) - The main characters sometimes acts badly, and somtimes good. * The sound is at times very cheap.I kept thinking "I could make a movie like this with my home video camera" throughout the film.

I just watched this movie. In one word: sucky! The story is bad, the acting is, if possible, even worse. The movie has one or two nice moments, but thats it and having those two small good moments, doesn't make up for anything in between, before or after those moments. A montrocity of a movie, not even worth watching on tv...

This isn't the best movie ever made - or anywhere near that. As horror films go - they're not for everyone and this one is for fans of the genre. First off the setting in this movie is excellent and the actors did a good job on it. However there doesn't seem to have been much of a budget involved in the special effects section. If you're a fan and don't expect any revolutionary stuff - this movie sets the atmosphere for an entertaining evening on the couch.
