Blood Harvest Movie Review (1987)

October 6, 2024

You would think a low budget slasher co-starring Tiny Tim as a creepy clown would be good, campy fun. Nope.


First off, director Bill Rebane, while no great auteur, is a competent filmmaker. Not good, mind you, but competent. Secondly, this is the kind of movie that has so much of a sleaze factor you find yourself wishing star Itonia Salochek had an opportunity to appear in something classier and less exploitative, like porn maybe.


I mean, I'm all for some nudity in my eighties slasher flicks, but the amount of time Ms. Salochek spends naked, combined with the general vibe of the movie, just gets uncomfortable. On the plus side, this has that distinctive "not made in Hollywood" kind of quirkiness you only get from regional independent horror flicks. Tiny Tim is effective as the mentally unstable clown, and the rest of the cast (including future 'Six Feet Under' star Peter Krause) do respectable work. Just a little too "ick" for my tastes.
