David Slade, the director behind notable films such as “Hard Candy,” “30 Days of Night,” and the TV series “Hannibal,” presents the much-anticipated ‘Dark Harvest,’ an adaptation of Norman Partridge’s novel, set to hit screens this week.

Sawtooth Jack will emerge from the shadows on October 13, and viewers can catch the film on various digital platforms from the comfort of their homes. Furthermore, for one exclusive night, ‘Dark Harvest’ will grace the screens of Alamo Drafthouse Theaters on October 11.

For those with a penchant for gory thrills, ‘Dark Harvest’ comes bearing an “R” rating due to its content, promising:

“Strong horror violence and gore, language throughout, and brief drug use.”

The movie’s plot unfolds in a cursed town, where the annual harvest transforms into a brutal battle for survival. On Halloween night in 1963, a horrifying legend named Sawtooth Jack rises from the cornfields, posing a grave threat to the town’s children. In response, groups of boys band together to confront the murderous scarecrow before the stroke of midnight. Richie, a rebellious outcast, embarks on this quest, driven by his brother’s previous victory. As the pursuit unfolds, Richie stumbles upon a shocking revelation, forcing him to confront a pivotal choice that could break the relentless cycle.

The film stars Elizabeth Reaser, known for her role in “The Haunting of Hill House,” alongside Jeremy Davies from “Hannibal,” Luke Kirby, Casey Likes of “The Birch” fame, and Emyri Crutchfield, recognized for her role in “Tell Me Your Secrets.” Michael Gilio penned the adaptation of Norman Partridge’s Halloween-themed novel. With David Slade at the helm and this talented cast, ‘Dark Harvest’ promises to be a gripping cinematic experience not to be missed.
