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.

Fertile Ground is one that was released by After Dark Originals. So that means that it is something special, something on his own. When Fertile Ground starts you will be surprised to see some nudity from the first second. But don't think it's gratuitous, it do adds to the film. I don't really know where to place it because it is a slow builder with not that much of horror in it. It's all about having a miscarriage and the influence it has towards the couple. They decide to move to another place which belongs to the husbands family. There the woman is confronted with the past via a ghost. Slowly she's becoming mad and think it's all in her mind because she had that miscarriage and is again pregnant. But is it? As I said before there isn't that much of horror it's more a ghost story with towards the final part of this flick some cruelty. So you really have to dig a lot of talking before things go awry. Nevertheless, it never bored me due the excellent performances by the couple. If you like for example The Others and stuff like that than this is your piece of cake. Luckily no CGI was used (except for a hand appearing on a window) for effects which adds towards the flick.
Saw this movie last night, knowing nothing about it apart from the title. I have heard of the after dark company and yes I know they're b movies or less, so I knew before starting this film what I was in for.
So after watching the movie, I have sat and realised the good and bad.
The good, the acting was above par, the story wasn't knew but it was done to a good standard, Leisha Hailey dare I say was very good in her role.
The bad, the ghosts were done really bad they should have tried better in this department, the film wasn't a little bit scary, they should have made it a lot more scary and the ending which I thought was really bad, it could been done a lot better.
Overall an okay film, nothing new but not terrible.
Fertile Ground (2011) Been on my watch list for a while,
Couple move to home after the wife losses her baby, then move they move to a new house, Then wife see strange thing start to happen around the house and husband dose not believe.
This movie felt like every other haunted house movie I have seen, I felt that didn't really got ground , this movie didn't not feel scary for one second, the whole movie was bit bland.
It could be really boring no real plot in the movie, it could the be really bad script (Half of it didn't even make sense or it could have been the really bad acting from everyone in this movie, i would say all of the above.
I wouldn't say the worst haunted house movie but it as got to be one of the most boring ones i ever seen. 4 out of 10

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.
