Fertile Ground

You've all read the others reviews and I concur so all I wanted to do was warn anyone who is thinking about hiring this....DON'T!

It's gotta be one of the most boring "horror" movies I've ever seen. I was assuming after looking at the cover and it's R ( in Australia) rating that there'd be a bit of gore and excitement.

I saw all of the After Dark titles on the shelf and assumed they'd be good. With Fertile Ground I was wrong.

Neither. So I don't know how it got it's rating of R. There was about as much gore or anything! Snoozefest! Pity because the actors tried or did well. The plot was just far too pedestrian.

After losing their baby, Emily and Nate Weaver (Leisha Hailey and Gale Harold) leave the city, relocating to an old farmhouse in the country. Unexpectedly, this leads to supernatural visitations, madness, and death.

FERTILE GROUND is a solid, paranoiac horror-thriller in the tradition of ROSEMARY'S BABY and THE SHINING. It's filled with chills, suspense, and mystery. There's also an effective sense of claustrophobia and dread throughout.

Hailey is especially good in her role as the -possible- victim of a centuries-old curse.

For lovers of the paranormal and the macabre...

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.

I'll start by saying, this has all the makings of a decent movie, namely acting and production value. Nevertheless, it fails on every other level, horror, suspense, artistic... whatever. It's not scary at all. The characters are dull and one dimensional, the story is uninteresting. I was so bored during the stupid thing. All these After Dark horror movies are the same. Still better than Fangoria Frightfest (which all are GOD AWFUL). Give me Piranha 3D over this tripe. At least stuff happens in that movie, and I only waste 83 minutes or whatever. If you have insomnia, rent this movie. It will get you to sleep, trust me. It got me to sleep three times. I finally finished it on the fourth. Oh, and the woman's voice will drive you nuts.

I must say that Gale Harold gives a really good and interesting performance in this, the other actors are OK, far better then what usually turns up in typical horror films. One thing I really liked was there are no stupid teenagers or slashers in here, too many horror films feel they need that to sell the viewer but not here. There is a few slow moments in the movie but overall it was really entertaining! It is more of a supernatural horror film, not too much blood and guts like most turn out to be, this one has it's scary moments without that and without being stupid or boring. It may remind you of a 70's style film, it has a twist with no CGI or crappy effects to get in the way of the storyline. I would recommend this to any horror fan who likes supernatural/ghost movies.
