Horror fans are in for a treat as the critically acclaimed 2022 A24 film 'Men' airs on Film4 tonight at 11:10pm. The surreal folk horror, directed by Alex Garland, has been praised for its unique concept and chilling performances.
Set in a quaint British village, the film follows Harper, a woman grieving the loss of her husband. She retreats to a secluded countryside manor, only to be pursued and tormented by strange men—all played by the same actor, Rory Kinnear. The film symbolises the trauma women endure under patriarchal society.
Viewers have described it as 'very unsettling' with a 'disturbing ending', while others call it 'transfixing on so many levels'. One review notes: 'The movie is a surrealist take on overcoming grief and trauma, along with a critique on toxic masculinity.'
Jessie Buckley delivers a standout performance as Harper, while Rory Kinnear captivates in multiple roles. The film is also available for rent on Amazon Prime and Apple TV.
