A newlywed bride discovers that her husband is harboring a horrific secret in Sebastian Gutierrez's sci-fi thriller 'Elizabeth Harvest.'

Writer-director Sebastian Gutierrez offers a clever "Bluebeard" update in this idiosyncratic gothic sci-fi melodrama.

Sebastian Gutierrez’s latest film stars Mad Max: Fury Road’s Abbey Lee as the naive victim of a power-hungry man. In this complicated updating of the Bluebeard myth, starring Ciarán Hinds and Carla Gugino, technology has created an entirely new method and reason for murder.

The film creates an incestuous atmosphere that’s reminiscent of the stories of Edgar Allan Poe.

The crowding of influences in Sebastian Gutierrez’s neo-gothic/sci-fi thriller “Elizabeth Harvest” — from Bluebeard to Brian De Palma, from Poe to “Ex Machina” — is a commotion that never quite lets this lurid love quadrangle/empowerment saga be its nuttiest best self.
