You wait ages for a Yorkshire-set folk-horror dripping with grief and dread, and then two come along at once. First, there was The Moor, a melancholy, subtly supernatural tale of grief and dread set in motion by the death of a young boy; Starve Acre, however... well, same but it’s the ’70s and has bigger stars.

At first glance, the idea of a movie being beautiful and grotesque at the same time might sound like an impossibility. Visual beauty can be tarred by things that are more conventionally ugly, violent, or otherwise unpleasant to look at. Similarly, movies with gross, upsetting, or disturbing content might often stay away from presenting things in a visually pleasing way, just to drive home the ugliness of the story or what’s being explored thematically.

In the mid-1970s, Good Timesmade a star of actor/comedian Jimmy 'JJ'/'Dynomite' Walker. However, behind the scenes, the tension between the stars was relatively challenging.

In a genre where it's arguably easier to earn a bad review, horror movies face a different level of criticism, especially from respected critic Roger Ebert. A fan of the genre, Ebert appreciated good horror movies, saying, "They can exorcise our demons." However, Ebert was a vocal opponent of horror movies that inflicted violence and gore without reason, often writing about the reactions of fellow audience members and what it said about their relationship to the acts carried out onscreen. In his lengthy list "Ebert's Most Hated," many of those films include horror movies that earned higher than a one-star rating.
