Brainstorm Media today released the official trailer for the upcoming folk horror film, Starve Acre, based on the award-winning 2019 novel by Andrew Michael Hurley. Starring Matt Smith (Doctor Who, House of the Dragon) and Morfydd Clark (The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, Saint Maud), Starve Acre will be released both in theaters and On Demand on July 26th.
Written and directed by Daniel Kokotajlo (Apostasy), the film is described as “unsettling British folk horror tale set in rural Yorkshire during the 1970s,” with the official synopsis reading, “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.”
Tessa Ross (Carol, Billy Elliot), Juliette Howell (The Icon Claw, The Wonder), Derrin Schlesinger (The Iron Claw, The Nest), and Emma Duffy (Eternal Beauty, Supernova) are producers.
