3.0 out of 5 stars WHY ISN'T IT ON DVD, July 30, 2003
By Peter A. Garcia (Mount Ephraim, New Jersey United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I would rate it as a five if the whole TV mini-series made it on the tape. It was a very well done, made for TV movie. Bette Davis is excellent, but then isn't she always great. Rosanne Arquette was young, but gave a very good performance; So did the actors who played Nick Constantine and Worthy Pettinger. Worth producing on DVD with commentary by the author of the book, director and the living actors and actresses. Ask them what it was like to work with Bette Davis.

The evil role Davis played in "Harvest Home" was as good as her performance on "What Every Happened to Baby Jane?"

Everytime I travel to Maine I can picture the harvest home festival. Makes you a little afraid of those New Englanders and the secrets they may hold. If you liked Harvest Home you may also want to buy Dead and Buried with Jack Albertson and James Firorentino. Another New England chiller, alot like something Stephen King would write. (Reminds me of Monhegan Island, Maine "Spooky")

Don't buy Harvest Home on tape demand a full DVD Version.

NEED THE WHOLE THING ON DVD NOT JUST PARTS.

3.0 out of 5 stars It's ONLY HALF The Movie!!!, September 19, 1999
By A Customer
The Dark Secret Of Harvest Home Is An EXCELLENT Adaptation On Tom Tryon's Novel HARVEST HOME. BUT!!! Unfortunately The Powers Thatt Be At MCA Home Video Opted To CHOP THE LIVING BEEJEEZUS Out Of The ORIGINAL Nearly Four Hour NBC Mini-Series Presentation To Contain It On ONE Videocassette. To Be Honest The Chop Job Is NOT A Bad One. They Did A Relatively Good Job Of Cutting Out Nearly ALL Of The Michael O'Keefe Part So He Is Not Really Missed Though His Performance Is Very Good. But Check The Lstings Of A Certain Cable Network Dedicated To Horror & Sci-Fi. They Occasionally Dust Off The Original Four Hour Epic For Broadcast Usually Back To Back In One Four Hour Lump. If You Must...Rent The Video Version. But Look For The Original Version And By All Means Watch It As Well. You'll Find It Even MORE Entertaining.

1.0 out of 5 stars Give us the FULL SERIES on DVD!!!, February 24, 2004
By Vorthog (Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews
Just wanted to add my voice to the chorus of outrage at the hatchet job that was done to this VHS release of this classic horror TV mini-series.

I really hope somebody out there in DVD-makerland pays attention and hears that there are many people out here waiting for this to come out (uncut, with the picture cleaned up and remastered) on DVD.

And while you're at it, how about the TV mini-series of Stephen King's "The Shining", another exceptional TV effort that definitely merits DVD release.

3.0 out of 5 stars Universal, why, why?
There really is no point in buying this (1978) TV series with Bette Davis, because it has been edited way to much. The original series was 300m. Read more
