In 1970s Yorkshire, Richard and Juliette relocate to Richard’s childhood home of Starve Acre, hoping the idyllic country surroundings will benefit their young son. However, a sudden and tragic event drives a wedge through the family, which triggers Richard to bury himself in a local folkloric myth.
Matt Smith and Morfydd Clark confront demons in this spinechiller from emerging British writer-director Daniel Kokotajlo. Knotting together the folk atmospherics of The Wicker Man with the supernatural suffering of Don’t Look Now, this mysterious and muddy 1970s-set horror knows to honour its roots.
