action

Shocked by yet another traumatizing miscarriage, the young married couple Nate and Emily Weaver move from the city to the countryside to New Hampshire , where Nate's old family house from the 19th century stands and they decide to start a new life there. But soon the facade of the dream crumbles when the two of them notice that the house may look beautiful on the outside, but holds a terrible secret inside - it has been cursed since Nate's great aunt disappeared here over a hundred years ago.

Then Emily receives a call from her doctor that she is pregnant again. But she can't really enjoy this happiness, because Nate has started to behave strangely since he started painting again and went to the basement of the house more and more often. He distances himself more and more from Emily, who lies in bed a lot to take it easy and he doesn't seem to care about her baby at all. To break free from loneliness, Emily throws a party for her friends out of town. At the party, she believes that Nate's agent is too intimate with her husband, and when the woman later rushes through the window of Emily's room, Nate suspects that Emily might have pushed her.

Emily reads a folder of newspaper clippings from the Historical Society and discovers that all of the women who died in this house were killed by their husbands. Any woman back then would have been pregnant. Allegedly, the house "changed" their husbands and made them angry. Emily then has nightmares and a vision of one of the dead women. Horrified and terrified, she believes that Nate will kill her too. She calls her best friend who promises to come and pick her up.

Scared, Emily hides in her bedroom with a knife when she hears Nates come into the house. She tries to stab him with the knife, but instead kills her friend who had arrived gared along with Nate. Emily climbs on the roof to save herself and believes that she is fighting not against Nate but against one of the ghosts of the house. They fall off the roof and Emily stabs him repeatedly. After killing him, Emily realizes that she didn't kill a ghost, but Nate.

Emily is taken to a mental hospital and examined. It turns out that Emily is not pregnant at all. The doctor's call, Nate's strange behavior, and the ghostly visions were all just in her head and symptoms of psychosis brought on by her miscarriages. Emily will now be accommodated in a padded room where she will rock her imaginary child in her arms.

Reviews

Kino.de wrote: “The quality of the low-budget horror films from the After Dark production series is generally quite acceptable. Similar to The Asylum or the Syfy Channel, you milk proven genre motifs, only with a slightly higher budget, carefully crafted books that strive for a bit of originality, and little-known, but mostly committed and somehow sufficiently charismatic actors. 'Fertile Ground' reminds you of 'Amityville Horror' and 'Shining', horror fans grab it and are not disappointed. "

filmchecker.wordpress.com found: “Basically, this haunted house movie actually does almost everything right. There are creaking doors, strange apparitions, a legendary mansion with a mysterious past and 2 protagonists who seem close to madness in the course of the film. But despite all the known ingredients, "Fertile Ground" is simply too conventional. "

nightmare-horrormovies.de , on the other hand, assessed: “All in all, it is not enough because the story seems boring and worn out. The lack of logic is less of a problem here, since the evil is supernatural, but the resolution is nothing special, so that it won't be worth waiting for. "
