Starve Acre

"Quietly chilling."

"A fantastically enigmatic horror film done beautifully well."

"Intelligent, thought-through performances (put) life back into some familiar tropes."

"(A) formidably freaky new slab of British folk horror."

"Strong pacing, nervy editing, rousing rural visuals, and potent pagan themes."

"Kokotajlo finds supernatural power and dramatic weight in the genre’s rustic simplicity."

"Too narratively and thematically sparse to make much of an impact."

"Despite the skill and restraint on display, it’s all texture and no teeth."

"Morfydd Clark and Matt Smith deliver strong performances, but the characters lack depth and emotional development."

"At times, it’s scary how derivative it is. Still, as crepuscular weirdness seeps across the story... it’s largely effective."

"Excels in the weighty atmosphere between spoken words."

"Chilling and unnerving."

"Impressively gnarly special effects and a strong performance from Morfydd Clark."
