Many more casual movie fans might not recognize the name Laurence R. Harvey at first glance. For those who do not stray too far into the horror genre, allow us to introduce you to this actor. He made his name in the industry by acting in the polarizing horror movies The Human Centipede II and III, which were directed by the innovative Dutchman Tom Six.
Since appearing in those films, Harvey has gone on to forge a decent career in the horror genre. Although he's acted in several short films, today we're will be focusing on his work in feature-length productions. Check out Laurence R. Harvey's 10 Best Films, according to IMDB below!
The Human Centipede II Full Sequence (3.8/10)
It should come as no surprise to those who have seen this film that this film was ranked rather low on the rating scale. Yet, without this role, it's likely none of the other films on this list would exist.
Harvey plays a demented loner in the film, who, inspired by the wicked doctor of the first film, continues the repulsive experiment of sewing human bodies together to create a human centipede. Fans of the series were delighted by the sequel but the majority of movie-going audiences were simply left uncomfortable.
Dead Love (3.9/10)
Harvey's 2018 indie horror flick Dead Love currently has only 15 votes on IMDB, so take this rating with a grain of salt. The ratings will likely increase once the movie completes the festival circuit and finds a distributor.
The tale of unrequited love follows a man and a woman who, despite a mutual attraction, fall victim to a series of circumstances that keep them apart. As they try to reunite, several people die along the way. Harvey plays a character named Dom, the details of which have not been provided.
Adult Babies (4.1/10)
Just as the title suggests, Adult Babies is a horror movie about a deeply unique subculture among the ultra-wealthy.
Indeed, when three kindred spirits break into a rurally secluded home to procure sensitive documents, they make a horrifying discovery. They find a gaggle of wealthy businessmen dressed in baby diapers under the care of a group of sexy nurses.
House Of Many Sorrows (5.2/10)
In the 2017 horror show House of Many Sorrows, Harvey gets a chance to shed his more questionable type-casted image and play a respectable detective for a change. A welcomed change of pace for the promising actor!
The film is set at an isolated inn, where a spate of guests begins dying in gruesome ways at the hands of the son of the previous owner who had taken the business over from his mother.
Egomaniac (5.4/10)
Harvey takes third-billing in Egomaniac, Kate Shenton's movie within a movie about a film director desperate to complete her horror zom-rom-com.
When Catherine Sweeny sets out to make her romantic zombie comedy, she runs into a financial hurdle. In order to secure funding to cast a talking dog in the film, Cat must go to unthinkably grisly lengths to get what she needs to fulfill her creative process. Can she fulfill the task?
ABCs Of Death 2 (5.4/10)
For the uninitiated, ABCs of Death 2 is a horror anthology directed by twenty-six different filmmakers, each of whom assumes one letter of the alphabet to base their chapter on.
Harvey plays a man named Wanker in the chapter "T is for Torture Porn," directed by Jen and Sylvia Soska. Oddly, the part sounds par for the course for Harvey, who is quickly cornering the market on playing some of the most lecherous characters of all.
My Bloody Banjo (5.5/10)
In Liam Regan's horror-comedy My Bloody Banjo, Harvey finds himself in a plot that concerns an aggrieved office worker who snaps and goes postal on his coworkers.
The UK film features Harvey as Clyde Toulon, one of the coworkers who bears the brunt of the killer's ire. As Peltzer Arbuckle (James Hamer-Morton) goes insane and conducts a bloody rampage, Clyde and the rest must do all they can to end the reign of terror and ensure their survival.
The Editor (6.1/10)
Making the cut as one of Harvey's better movies is The Editor, a Canadian horror-comedy directed by Adam Brooks and Matthew Kennedy.
The film follows a once-renowned film editor who, since losing his fingers in a workplace accident, has resorted to b-grade horror movies to earn a living. However, when the cast members of his newest editing job turn up dead in the film studio they filmed in, all signs point toward the editor as the killer. For his part, Harvey plays Father Clarke, a drastic departure from his typical roles.
Frankenstein Created Bikers (6.9/10)
Harvey takes second-billing as Klaus in Frankenstein Created Bikers, a B-grade genre mashup of everything from road movies to horror joints, from explosive action flicks to grisly kidnap thrillers. Probably even more!
Written and directed by James Brickert, the film finds a criminal biker become addicted to a mysterious super-drug while being pursued from rival biker gangs, cops, bounty hunters, and an aggressive femme fatale. The movie is a sequel to Brickert's prior film, Dear God No.
For We Are Many (7.0/10)
With a 7/10 rating, this is Harvey's highest-rated movie to date. Though it is important to note that very few movie-goers have rated the film, so the lower amount of votes could be skewing it towards a higher rating than it would receive had it been more widely reviewed. Fans of this actor believe that the film will receive more views once it hits distribution and is more widely seen.
The horror anthology features no less than six different short stories, each directed by a different person. Harvey takes top-billing as the Butler in the chapter entitled "Father," directed by Mark Logan. Details beyond that are scant at this point, as the film still looks to lock a distributor and official release date.
