Movie - Elizabeth Harvest (2019) [/]

Elizabeth Harvest is a modern day thriller set in a luxurious yet remote home. Elizabeth (Abbey Lee) marries the man of her dreams, scientist Dr Henry Kellenberg (Ciarán Hinds) and brings her home where she meets the help, Claire (Carla Gugino) and the blind Oliver (Matthew Beard). Henry tells Elizabeth that everything he has is hers also except for one room which she promises to never enter.

Henry goes away on business and after a day or two of boredom Elizabeth goes into the secret room and discovers a duplicate, a clone, sleeping in a vat. Unfortunately she is trapped there and when Henry returns she can't maintain composure and Henry hunts her down and murders her.

Reset to another Elizabeth coming home with Henry after their wedding. This one also finds out the secret and also can't keep calm but Elizabeth number 5 manages to kill Henry while Claire and Oliver are away. So what is she to do now?

A bit slow paced building up the situation and pretty much everything is eventually explained in various flashbacks. Abbey Lee is a supermodel and maybe not the best actress but Elizabeth is a bit confused at times due to being a clone with incomplete memories so it works out. Ciarán Hinds pulls off being amoral. Oliver as a character is interesting and Matthew Beard does a good job. Claire is a bit superfluous except in the flashbacks and Carla Gugino is an excellent actress given a character who seems to be there mostly to witness things.

Still, it's an interesting movie and fairly well put together.
