A creepy and intelligent British folk horror from the director of the brilliant Apostasy (2017), Daniel Kokotajlo.
Matt Smith (Dr Who, Last Night in Soho) and Morfydd Clark (St Maud, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power) excel in their roles of a grieving couple stretched to breaking point by an unspeakable tragedy.
On the remote family farm of Starve Acre, an archaeologist becomes increasingly fascinated by a local myth that the ancient oak tree that once stood on their land holds the dark powers and the secret to ‘Dandelion Jack’, whilst his wife Juliette turns to her sister the local community to find some kind of peace. But sinister forces are unwittingly allowed into their home, offering a disturbing possibility of reconnection.
