For some odd reason, I've set my mind on seeing all the Bill Rebane movies. It's true, I'm a glutton for punishment. The average person should see one or less Rebane films in order to stay sane. Blood Harvest was next on the docket so I guess I'll comment on it.
Jill returns home from school to her home in Winchester(actually Gleason, WI). Her father and mother have vanished as well as some other townspeople. It seems her father was a banker and was foreclosing on some farms in the area. Some of the residents are harassing her as well.
More people are killed, including Jill's new boyfriend and her waitress friend. The film would have us believe that Mervo(Tiny Tim) is the killer and the plot would twist at the end to reveal the true culprit. However, since the movie is poorly done, it becomes obvious who is behind the murders. I won't say, just in case you care.
After a few more killings and a lot of gratuitous nudity the killer is revealed and Tiny Tim saves the day. And that's pretty much it. Hey, what do you expect from Rebane.
To be fair, this film has some good things in it. Tiny Tim plays his part very well. He is very strange in this movie(and I suspect he was in real life RIP). But he brings a likableness to his character that is tricky to portray, so he is to be commended for that. The acting is otherwise quite poor in this film. Itonia Salchek plays the part of Jill and while her acting is quite wooden she spends much of the movie in various stages of undress. I would venture to say she is without pants for a good 75% of it. This girl wasn't in anything else I could find so I wonder if she felt showing off her good stuff would make her a star. Sorry it didn't work out for her. In all frankness, she has a smoking body and you will see all of it in this movie.
All in all, this film is okay. There is some gore but there could be more. There is really not much suspense to it either. The killer is portrayed as psychotic but the acting falls short there. I give it a 3/10.
