Why it’s HorroRated
Men is Alex Garland making a horror film that operates as a formal argument about a specific kind of masculine violence. The English countryside and village setting are immaculately realized and the body horror of the final act is among the decade's most ambitious sequences. It'll divide audiences and that division is part of the point.
Synopsis
Alex Garland's Men uses the village and its surroundings to build a horror argument. Jessie Buckley and Rory Kinnear work through the film's escalating surrealism to an ending that is either the decade's most ambitious horror sequence or its most exhausting, depending on your tolerance for what precedes it.
