Starve Acre Ratings & Reviews
Patrick and Nancy
October 11, 2024
Too many folk horror films. Most of them are kinda boring and shock us in predictable ways.
Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube)
Mark Kermode
Definitively worth checking out.
Loud and Clear Reviews
William Stottor
Grief and nature consume a mourning couple in Starve Acre, Daniel Kokotajlo's unsettling and deeply atmospheric folk horror.
Culture Mix
Carla Hay
The overrated horror flick Starve Acre is a hollow, pretentious, and boring adaptation of its namesake novel. By the end of the movie, nothing of substance is revealed about the main characters or the evil that wreaks havoc on those characters.
Chicago Reader
Kylie Bolter
The folk horror-drama Starve Acre finds suspense in the silence.
Fish Jelly Films (YouTube)
Nicholas Bell
A sinister slice of slow burn folk horror, you might need to be in the mood for the lethargic conformation of dread in Starve Acre, but a hurtle into the howling aftermath of anguish in the finale is worth the wait.
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
If you dig moody oddities with a dash of humor and a Gothic look that puts you ill at ease throughout, grab it.

Cheryl Eddy
The biggest draw for Starve Acre is its two leads... That this hardly feels like stunt casting is a testament to both their skills as performers.
ComingSoon.net
Neil Bolt
It is a beautifully dreary, miserable thing that soaks into the bones with its oppressive atmosphere.
Fish Jelly Films (YouTube)
Joseph Robinson
Like many other folk horror entries, Starve Acre takes an intriguing idea and stretches it to formulate this subgenre's particular mood.
Nerdist
Tai Gooden
"Starve Acre allows us to walk the pathway of personal loss, longing, and the desperate grasps at coping and understanding alongside Richard and Juliette in quiet moments of observation."
Spectrum Culture
Christian Valentin
A capably creepy and atmospheric slow burn, this Brit folk horror film sticks a little too closely to the script.
Common Sense Media
Kat Halstead
The film enters into a world altered and uncanny, and sets about creating a new reality that could be seen as both hopeful and horrifying-depending on the viewer.
48 Hills
Dennis Harvey
This handsome-looking exercise in folk horror is meant to be bizarre and disturbing, but there isn't enough suspenseful atmosphere to compensate for the choppy narrative, making the whole confusing, silly and a bit dull instead.
Assignment X
Abbie Bernstein
Family trauma meets English folk horror.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
Freshening some familiar genre tropes infused with folklore, this understated British thriller is consistently creepy while effectively withholding its most potent chills until the final act.
Daily Dead
Rocco T. Thompson
Though if feels as if Kokotajlo loses control of his material in the last act, the film's overwhelming atmosphere of unknowable, ancient dread is hard to resist
Wall Street Journal
Kyle Smith
At times, it's scary how derivative it is. Still, as crepuscular weirdness seeps across the story and leads to a delirious ending, it's largely effective.
Bloody Disgusting
Meagan Navarro
A stunning throwback feature grounded by two compelling leads, but one too narratively and thematically sparse to make much of an impact.
AV Club
Matt Schimkowitz
Aiming for authenticity, Kokotajlo finds supernatural power and dramatic weight in the genre's rustic simplicity.
