Starve Acre (2023) ★½

Overview

When their son starts acting strangely, a couple unwittingly allow dark and sinister forces into their home, awakening a long-dormant ancient evil rooted deep in the countryside.

Review

Well, Starve Acre actually accomplished one thing: it did raise a hare. Other than that, I have little to report. Other than just another boring folk horror movie. Why wouldn’t someone just shoot that fucking rabbit? Anyone!

I may be tiring of these slow burn folk horror offerings. More style than substance and few actually do rise up to become decent (or even great) horror movies.

Rating: ★½
