- Andy Davidson | folknhell.com18. august 2025Daniel Kokotajlo's Starve Acre roots grief literally beneath the ground. A rural Yorkshire couple, devastated by their child's death, become entangled with an old story about the land around their home. The landscape is bleak rather than picturesque, and the soil becomes associated with memory, violence and the possibility of resurrection. Matt Smith and Morfydd Clark give it emotional weight, and their differing responses to grief become increasingly important as one begins to believe the land might undo what has happened. The folk-horror tradition is handled effectively: ancient ritual, sacrifice and land that remembers previous generations intertwine with bereavement. The supernatural represents the terrible temptation to bargain with death. Most disturbing is how hope becomes indistinguishable from obsession, until almost any price seems acceptable. Earthy, mournful and uncomfortable, it's a film where the land gives back what was buried, but not as anyone hoped.

- Kevin Ward1. juli 2025I’ll continue to watch any Morfydd Clark pictures, but this folk horror was a bore. Moody and looked nice, but never engaged with the story. It follows the lives of Richard and Juliette, who live in the isolated family home called Starve Acre. The couple is struggling with the recent death of their young son, Owen, under mysterious circumstances. The couple becomes intrigued by the lands dark history and a supposed malevolent spirit named Jack Grey, and Juliette becomes entangled in the occult with the hopes of contacting Owen’s spirit. It’s a sort of tropey atmospheric folk horror exploration of grief and isolation.
