Men will center around a young woman who goes on a solo vacation to the English countryside following the death of her ex-husband. It will star Jessie Buckley (I’m Thinking of Ending Things), Rory Kinnear (The Imitation Game), and Paapa Essiedu (I May Destroy You).
“In the aftermath of a personal tragedy, Harper retreats alone to the beautiful English countryside, hoping to have found a place to heal,” reads the synopsis. “But someone or something from the surrounding woods appears to be stalking her. What begins as simmering dread becomes a fully-formed nightmare, inhabited by her darkest memories and fears.”

Described as a feverish, shape-shifting new horror film, Men is written and directed by Oscar nominee Alex Garland (Ex Machina). This marks the visionary filmmaker’s feature directorial comeback after over three years since 2018’s sci-fi horror film Annihilation.
