The Empty Acre (2007)

Starring: Jennifer Plas, John Wilson
Director: Patrick Rea


Premise:
A couple is dealing with their joys of a newborn baby while living on a farm in rural Kansas. The farm has a patch of ground where nothing grows and evil lurks. Things get strange after the couple's baby mysteriously disappears one night.

My Take:
The movie sort of reminded me of a Lovecraft tale set in middle America farming community. This is definitely a slow moving flick carried by the relationship of the couple and how they deal with their child's disappearance. It's pulled off admirably. For me, the ending could have been a bit better but its still a decent one to watch.

Rating: In the middle
