Strange Harvest (4.3/10)

This new horror mockumentary came highly recommended by critics and had great reviews, but it ultimately wasn’t for me. The “true story” presentation made it difficult to stay immersed, especially knowing it was entirely fictional. That awareness lingered in the back of my mind the whole time, keeping me from fully engaging with the story. While I’m, of course, relieved that the events aren’t real, I wish the filmmakers had approached it more like a traditional narrative film rather than a documentary. "Detectives are thrust into a chilling hunt for Mr. Shiny, a sadistic serial killer from the past whose return marks the beginning of a new wave of grotesque, otherworldly crimes tied to a dark, cosmic force."
