Director Sebastian Gutierrez talks about his brand of horror and the "accidental science fiction" in 'Elizabeth Harvest'

A slow-burning narrative presented as a modern take on the Bluebeard tale, 'Elizabeth Harvest' features Abby Lee as the titular protagonist while Ciaran Hinds fills in as Henry.

In Hollywood, there is no dearth of horror-laced flicks, replete with jump scares, slasher details, and fast-paced action. But despite this genre-specific abundance, South American filmmaker Sebastian Gutierrez is able to treat movie lovers to a very different kind of horror with his latest release, 'Elizabeth Harvest'. 

A slow-burning narrative presented as a modern take on the classic Bluebeard tale, 'Elizabeth Harvest' features model-turned-actress Abby Lee as the titular female protagonist while Ciaran Hinds fills in as the mad scientist (and Elizabeth's much older husband), Henry. What starts out on the heels of an unconventional wedding, with Henry almost carrying his newlywed bride into his secluded mansion, soon transitions into scenes of mystery and thriller, courtesy the sci-fi inspired plot of the movie.
