The Blood Harvest (2016) online

Irish horror THE BLOOD HARVEST opens up in grisly fashion with a woman being brutally tortured. With her eye being stabbed out with a fork, the victim lays helplessly in her own home as the masked murderer does his worst. Gratuitous with very little story behind it, this shocking introduction sets the tone for the rest of the film which is basically a series of gruesome torture scenes. The loose story of a dismissed detective searching for the killers takes a back seat whilst the filmmakers show off their impressive skills of creating bloody, sickening kills on a budget. However, even as a horror fan, it leaves too much of a bad taste in the mouth as the story seems to have been sacrificed in exchange for jaw-dropping displays of gore.
