At Starve Acre, their remote family home, Richard obsessively buries himself in exploring a folkloric myth that the ancient tree on their land is imbued with supernatural powers. After an unexpected discovery, the couple unwittingly allow dark and sinister forces into their home, awakening an evil rooted in the countryside that offers a disturbing possibility of reconnection between them.

Starve Acre
"This is a pretty decent folk horror movie. It does great to set up that dark and dreadful atmosphere. The pacing was a bit slow for my taste, and the grieving bits were unsettling. The thing I liked the most was the way they did the rabbit scenes; I thought it was pretty impressive."
