Men

Men is an ambitious film that combines folk horror with commentary on misogyny and fourth-wave feminism. Its intimate plot guides the narrative and provides narrative depth with its thematic ideals on grief and separation. These are solidified and accentuated by Jessie Buckley and Rory Kinnear's performances which provide nuance and depth.

Its lack of subtlety in its ideas and themes with its ambiguous ending might divide and alienate viewers however it remains fascinating in its surreal body horror. Overall Men is a confident and intimate film about the MeToo era of feminism.

Men dabble in surrealist body horror with a meticulous balance of style and tone. Its methodical slow-burn pacing guides the momentum and accentuates the psychological terror. Voiceovers, smash cuts, emphasis, and drone scores accentuate the creepy and ominous score. Its visual language is expressed through imagery, framing, color grading, and composition.

The particular score accentuates the horror and creepy isolation in suburban England. The production design with the suburban setting establishes the moodiness and somber tone. The cast aren't recognizable names but complement each other well. The effects include blood, gore, prosthetics, and special effects. Overall Men is a well-made suburban horror with skill and precision while filled with substance.
