The Harvesting
To escape their marital problems, a young family travels from the city to spend the summer in Amish Country where a malevolent presence grips them. They soon discover that they were brought there for a reason and they must break free before the demonic hold consumes them.
Why it matters
A slow-burning folk horror that traps modern anxieties in an insular Amish setting, where tradition masks something far darker.
- Unearths the clash between contemporary family strife and archaic, claustrophobic community dynamics.
- Practical effects and rural landscapes create a tangible dread rooted in isolation, not cheap jump scares.
- For fans of psychological hauntings and cult-tinged folk horror — think The Witch meets The Invitation.
- The pacing falters at times, but the oppressive atmosphere and unsettling premise make it worth the patience.
