March 8, 2018‘Elizabeth Harvest’ SXSW Clip: What’s Behind Door No. 1?

The riff on the Bluebeard folktale (with a little of Hitchcock’s Rebecca thrown in) centers on Elizabeth (Lee), who arrives with her brilliant new scientist husband Henry (Hinds) to his magnificent estate, where he wows her with lavish dinners and a dazzling tour of the property. The house staff (Gugino and Beard) treats her deferentially, but she can’t shake the feeling something is off. Henry explains that everything in his world now belongs to her — except for a locked-off room he forbids her from entering.
Check out the clip above of Henry laying out the ground rules.
Brian Kavanaugh-Jones, Leon Clarance, Fred Berger and Gutierrez produced the pic, which bows Saturday afternoon at the Alamo. Voltage Pictures is handling sales.
SXSW runs March 9-18.
Here’s the movie’s poster:
