Elizabeth Harvest (2018)

A newlywed wife takes a tour of her husband's house where she is forbidden access in a single room.

A very atmospheric thriller / horror, in tune with the very curious and sensual and childlike personality of the main character. It starts out as a sorta fairy tale with archaic tones but continues as.. something else. It has an interesting plot, explained towards the end as a kind of Pygmalion with completely unexpected twists, but given human nature, probably fully justifiable. The mystery is kept constant, the shocks come on tiptoes, and the cinematography is very beautiful.

Director / screenplay: Sebastian Gutierrez
With: Abbey Lee, Ciarán Hinds, Carla Gugino, Matthew Beard, Dylan Baker
