05/20/2021 The premise is simple as a couple move to a new house after the spouse had miscarriage her infant. Then, the wife see peculiar things begin to occur around the house and husband denies it. This film felt like each and every other frequented horror house you usually see in other movies. Nothing different could be pointing here or to be hold accountable for. The cinematography is cold and will leave you with few jump scares. The ominous sound effect will follow throughout the film. The acting is acceptable but the writing could have been improvised by Adam Gierasch and Jace Anderson. I would not recommend it to anyone unless if any individual who simply need a straightforward and a regular spooky house film. See more 02/11/2020 I watched Fertile Ground on the same night as the Amityville remake and found it a far superior haunted house movie. Leisha Hailey's descent into schizoid freakout mode is nicely paced and she really commits to the role in a way that carries the movie through some of it's clunkier moments, most of which involve Gale Harold and his apparent lack of interest in bringing anything to the role. In contrast to Amityville there are few special fx but a better written characterisation of a relationship falling apart. It's a more human centred horror film that dodges the bleeding walls stereotypes most of these things stumble into. It's not a great film but it's a lot better than most movies in the genre that are made with a lot more money. Some bang for your buck. See more 11/12/2017 Same old story, same old scares. Not worth a watch. See more don s 09/16/2017 A couple moves to the country after having had a miscarriage. The ancestral home the now inhabit has a history of murders and unexplained deaths. Strange things begin to happen when the lady of the house finds a trunk of antiques belonging to the great, great uncle of the husband. Bland supernatural horror with no scares and very few special effects. There was no feeling of tension evoked in the movie, and the ending was what I expected. See more 07/12/2016 I just didn't care. I didn't care about the plot and I *definitely* didn't care about any of the characters. See more 08/31/2015 So After Dark films usually are pleasing. And there is nothing new about this plot (typical haunted house/The Shining sort of thang). And I read a few opinions that stated that it was truly scary. And I STILL got creeped out! So while it's nothing new, and has a slow, slow build, the chills are legit and the direction is terrific! See more Read all reviews
