Fertile Soil

Warning: Spoilers
Some horror films have little happening on screen while building atmosphere. Some have little happening because there's literally very little happening.

Credit where credit is due - at first it seemed it would be unsettling throughout. Unfortunately that atmosphere evaporated quickly.

We're supposed to believe Emily is in danger from her spirit-influenced husband; however he doesn't seem potentially psychotic, but kinda cranky, thus there isn't any sense of danger.

Therefore I thought it would build towards an overused (associated with, but predating, "High Tension"); this would've been a rare occasion where it would've worked. Strangely it didn't occur, no, the cranky husband really is the intended threat.
