the movie start off a we see a footage of a huge drought back in the 30 in america . then a short story be show about a creepy look farmer elija who make a deal with satan and to get good harvest . elija hire young men to work in his garden and kill them and and use a scarecrow . he also feed the ground with their blood . some time after 2 cop come to visit him . one of them get shoot by elija and another one kill the farmer himself . after that and the present day be show and and some guy name sean be tell that he have an old farm leave a inheritance . he decide to go there with some friend to see what up . little do sean know that the next night be the payback night . a for me this movie have a good story for a horror flick and but low budget and poor special effect just ruin it . dark harvest be a perfect example of lazy film making . for example we see a scarecrow ( a usual guy wear a funny and cheap mask ) chase a girl . when he raise his hand we get to see a normal human skin below his glove and instead of some rot flesh . the gore be not very impressive a well . there be some nasty killing by our lovely scarecrow but everything be very cheap and unrealistic . surprisingly the acting be somewhat ok in this flick and or i good say it believable . some nude scene be present a well for the fan ( even a lesbian scene ) and but those scene do not save it . verdict represent good music and good story and solid acting . but awful effect and cheap gore and plot hole slow this movie down . not really recommend .
