Blake- N @PBSAniDom May 30 Starve Acre is a fantasy horror that leans heavily into atmosphere, and it manages to be surprisingly unsettling throughout. Even when it appears calm on the surface, there’s an underlying sense of dread that never really fades. What makes it stand out is how it blends folklore-like fantasy elements with a slow, creeping sense of terror. It doesn’t rely on constant shocks, but instead builds discomfort through mood, sound design, and unsettling imagery. The performances help ground the story, making the strange events feel more personal and emotionally charged. That balance between grief, mystery, and supernatural unease is what keeps it engaging. Overall, it’s a pretty terrifying experience for a fantasy film, but also an enjoyable one if you appreciate slow-burn horror with emotional depth. I’d rate it an 8/10 for its atmosphere and ambition.

Stellar acting performances and thoughtful effects provide the added spice resulting in a modern take on the British folk horror genre. See more Si R @SiRobins Nov 12 I enjoyed this film. I’d give it a 7/10. I loved the slow pace, the atmosphere and the story. I liked the animatronic hare. It was creepy and harked back to old moving making methods including stop go animation. I’d like to see more films like this.

The atmosphere alone - if you like a foggy, wet, British countryside mood - is wonderful, and you experience grief and frustration and wonder and horror as the characters lose their grip.
