Matt Smith and Morfydd Clark’s upcoming film Starve Acre has debuted with a perfect Rotten Tomatoes score.

Premiered at this year’s BFI London Film Festival, this folk horror from writer-director Daniel Kokotajlo (Apostasy) is set in rural Yorkshire, England, in the 1970s. There, the idyllic country life of couple Richard and Juliette takes a sinister turn when their son Owen (Arthur Shaw) starts acting out of character.

While the film — an adaptation of the 2019 novel of the same name by Andrew Michael Hurley — doesn’t have a wider release date just yet, it sure seems to have wowed critics who have managed to see it. It currently sits at a score of 100% out of 5 reviews on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, though this is likely to change once more reviews are in.
