Men: Jessie Buckley and Rory Kinnear star in trailer

A new British horror film has been branded “disturbing” by viewers, with some admitting they had walked out of recent screenings because they were so uncomfortable.

Men – written and directed by Alex Garland, whose credits include Ex Machina (2014) and Annihilation (2018) – is a folk horror that stars Jessie Buckley and Rory Kinnear.

The film follows Harper (Buckley) who heads out to the countryside in the aftermath of a tragedy, where “someone or something from the woods appears to be stalking her.”

A synopsis for the “feverish, shape-shifting” horror adds: “What begins as simmering dread becomes a fully-formed nightmare, inhabited by her darkest memories and fears.”
