With the month of horror and Shocktober here, we are pleased to bring you some horror release news as Vertigo Releasing has confirmed that their faux true-crime docu-horror, Strange Harvest, will be released next month.

A routine welfare check in the San Bernardino suburbs leads to a gruesome discovery – a family of three has been bound, bled and posed below a strange symbol written in blood on the ceiling. Detective Joe Kirby and Lexi Taylor recognise the symbol as the calling card of a killer from 15 years earlier who has seemingly returned to continue his murder spree.
It’s not long before “Mr Shiny” begins leaving horrifying new crime scenes in his wake; one victim is trapped in a swimming pool with live leeches while another is ritualistically flayed and displayed in a public park. It soon becomes evident the case is anything but routine and that the murders, and their perpetrator, may be part of some sinister, otherworldly agenda involving cosmic phenonomena and evil forces from beyond.
The film is currently sitting at 91% on Rotten Tomatoes*, with Film Threat describing it as “a brutal, well-crafted descent into depravity that walks a tightrope between realism and horror fantasy,” Dread Central calling it “…phenomenal, disturbing, and creepy…” and Collider naming an “…organic, unnerving, and proficiently grounded as a modern criminal nightmare…”
