a film with very little positive to say for it . firstly it have zero pace and be positively lack in any drama . besides be remarkably slow the empty acre seem dedicate to use the same stock footage again and again . i lose count of how many time i have see that field at night or that bit of cracked earth . it also have the fundamental flaw of thinking that if the audience do not know about thing they will be grip rather than just confuse . so with no sign that there be any issue we suddenly find the marriage be not what it seem to be despite be give the impression that it fine . we find jacob be possibly the bad farmer in the universe a he seem to spend no time on the farm and also seem to have buy land with a wholly useless acre . beth have a key to a warehouse of book . there be innumerable other question some of which be resolve later in the movie and much later and in fact too late . and on the point of the acre . horror filmmaker note that large inanimate object be inherently not scary and also if theyre meant to be an acre big then make them so . there be also a frightening lack of reasonability a beth ( the best performer in the piece and follow by jefferson the cop ) suddenly appear to be accuse of everything under the sun just because she be on medication . with the full ten minute plus of run round the field look for the miss child ( do he crawl out of the window . he six month old ) the film descend into badly write scene after badly write scene . bad plinky plonk horror music fail to add atmosphere . often bad film can be amuse but not the empty acre and which be just bad .
