Starve Acre (2023)

Review by ranwulfs

Starve Acre

2/10

A throwback to those weird 1960s British mystery / horror films.

This is a weak attempt to create some sort of folk horror myth thing along the lines of the Wicker Man or the Lair of the White Worm, but nowhere near as good. I rented this film because it has Matt Smith and Morfydd Clark, a great combination. Unfortunately they are entirely wasted in this production. Calling this film slow moving is to flirt recklessly with understatement. Very little went on, and a good part of the time you could fast forward and not miss anything. The open windy wastelands of Yorkshire are the setting, and - to the credit of the cinematographer - make up an entire character of its own. But as I'm fond of saying in my reviews, creepy atmospheres don't create creepy movies. Not sure what the aforementioned actors were doing in this little project, but maybe they owed the writer/director/producer/whatever a favor. I would skip this unless you want to fall asleep quickly and know that you're not missing anything by doing so. Hard pass.
