Starve Acre to Release in Limited Theaters and On Demand July 26

Written and directed by Daniel Kokotajlo, Starve Acre will be released in theaters and on demand July 26, 2024. The trailer arrived today.

In 1970s, rural England, Richard and Juliette’s seemingly idyllic family life is thrown into turmoil when their son starts acting out of character. At Starve Acre, their remote family home, archaeologist Richard buries himself in exploring a folkloric myth that the ancient oak tree on their land is imbued with phenomenal powers. While Juliette turns to the local community to find some kind of peace, Richard obsessively digs deeper. An unexpected discovery soon occupies the couple’s attention and dark and sinister forces, unwittingly allowed into the home, offer a disturbing possibility of reconnection between them.
