      Anton Bitel Sight & Sound this 1970s-set folk horror, unnervingly scored by Matthew Herbert, unearths something primeval and toxic at the very roots of a once, and perhaps again, happy family. Oct 23, 2023 Full Review Guy Lodge Variety No one person in “Starve Acre” screams, speaks or behaves quite as people should, which is key to the film’s baleful pull: Kokotajlo, at least, brings a fierce discipline to its disorder. Oct 20, 2023 Full Review Jonathan Romney Screen International Perfectionist direction and subtly unsettling mood give a bespoke edge to what would otherwise come perilously close to being a Gothic shaggy dog story (although a dog is not the beast at issue here). Oct 20, 2023 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Unsettling horror pic. Rated: B Nov 5, 2023 Full Review Peg Aloi Arts Fuse Starve Acre is a satisfying addition to the growing crop of English folk horror narratives that venture past the edges of magic realism, entering into a wild realm that lies just beyond our waking vision. Oct 24, 2023 Full Review Perry Norton Film Threat This is a fantastically enigmatic horror film done beautifully well. Rated: 8/10 Oct 23, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews
