Writer and Director Alex Garland returns with a new psychological horror film, simply called Men. Details are scarce, but the premise concerns one woman’s struggle with grief as she comes to terms with the death of her ex-husband in the English countryside.
Im a big fan of Garland’s sci fi work, including Ex Machina (2015), Annihilation (2018) and the gloriously underated DEVS TV series [2020], which was itself a study in determinism. All of Garland’s work is psychological, philosophical, or both at the same time. Well, apart from his screenplay and rumoured directorial role in (Judge) Dredd [2012]. So its an interesting and unexpected surprise that he’s chosen to return from Hollywood with a low key, slow burning British horror film, starring Rory Kinnear - with an eerie visual twist reminiscent of Chris Cunningham’s Aphex Twin treatment.
Men is released in cinemas on May 20th, 2022.
