BFI | Daniel Kokotajlo, Morfydd Clark and Robert Emms on Starve Acre | BFI Q&A @britishfilminstitute | Uploaded 1 month ago | Updated 2 hours ago
Director Daniel Kokotajlo and actors Morfydd Clark and Robert Emms visit BFI Southbank to dig into their new British folk horror.
In 1970s Yorkshire, Richard and Juliette relocate to Richard’s childhood home of Starve Acre, hoping the idyllic country surroundings will benefit their young son. However, a sudden and tragic event drives a wedge through the family, which triggers Richard, an academic archaeologist, to bury himself in obsessively exploring a local folkloric myth.
Daniel Kokotajlo’s follow up to his award-winning debut Apostasy is an unnerving adaptation of Andrew Michael Hurley’s acclaimed novel; a wildly eerie, slow-burn folk horror, featuring unflinching performances by Matt Smith and Morfydd Clark.
