NATE AND EMILY WEAVER ARE A YOUNG COUPLE LIVING IN NEW YORK. NATE IS AN UP AND COMING ARTIST AND EMILY IS A CLOTHES DESIGNER WHO HAS PUT HER WORK ON HOLD TO HAVE A BABY. THEN ONE NIGHT THEY SUFFER A MISCARRIAGE. NOT WANTING TO STAY IN THEIR APARTMENT, THEY MOVE TO A COUNTRY ESTATE THAT HAS BEEN IN NATE'S FAMILY FOR DECADES. ONCE THERE, ALL SEEMS WELL UNTIL THEY DISCOVER SOME EVIL GOINGS ON AT THE HOUSE, AND EMILY SLOWLY BEGINS TO SINK INTO INSANITY.
FERTILE GROUND IS A GHOST STORY SET IN A HAUNTED HOUSE AND IT AFFECTS NATE AND EMILY IN DIFFERENT WAYS. NATE SLOWLY BEGINS TO TAKE ON THE PERSONA OF ONE OF HIS LONG LOST RELATIVES AND EMILY IS THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN SEE THE GHOSTS AND IN RESPONSE, SEEMS TO BE LOSING HER MIND.
FOR A HORROR MOVIE, THE ACTING IS OKAY, ALTHOUGH THERE IS NOTHING THERE THAT WILL GRAB YOU AS FANTASTIC. THE SPECIAL EFFECTS WERE EFFECTIVE, SOME WERE A BIT SIMPLE IN THEIR EXECUTION, NOR WAS THE MOVIE BLOODY OR VERY VIOLENT. THE DIRECTION KEPT THE MOVIE FLOWING, WITH THE SCARY PARTS SCARY AND THE TENSE PARTS TENSE. FINALLY, THE STORY IS GOOD ENOUGH TO GET ACROSS THE MAIN THEME OF THE MOVIE.
I DIDN'T HATE THIS MOVIE, BUT I ALSO DIDN'T THINK IT WAS ALL THAT GREAT. IT'S A MIDDLE OF THE ROAD HORROR MOVIE THAT MIGHT GIVE YOU A FEW SCARES, A FEW JUMPS AND POSSIBLY A FEW LAUGHS.
RATING 2.5 out of 5
