Synopsis
After having suffered a terrible personal tragedy. Harper says to retire alone to a beautiful green countryside in order to heal and move on. What he does not know is that there he will find something or someone who will be in charge of stalking him wherever he goes. What begins as a surprising or uncomfortable situation, ends up becoming a real nightmare that will remind you of past fears that you thought were already overcome. 'Men' is a supernatural thriller written and directed by Alex Garland, who has already delved into science fiction with films like 'Ex Machina' or 'Annihilation' and with miniseries like 'Devs'. It promises dark visions and a splendid use of sound. This time it will feature Jessie Buckley, an Oscar nominee for supporting actress for 'The Dark Daughter' ('I'm Thinking About Quitting', 'Judy', 'Wild Rose'), Rory Kinnear ('Black Mirror', 'No Time to Die', 'Years and Years') and Papaa Essiedu ('It May Destroy You', 'Anne Boleyn', 'Gangs of London'). The production will be in charge of A24 ('hereditary' or 'Midsommar'), and in charge of the production are Andrew Macdonald and Allon Reich, who have worked with the director before. After passing through the 75th edition of the Cannes Film Festival, it will arrive in Spanish cinemas thanks to of Vertice 360.

What the critics say average 6.9 from 4 outlets
- 8.0 The Hollywood ReporterDavid Rooney
The fact that the outcome is wide open to different interpretations makes Men a more ambiguous work than Garland?s sci-fi horror hybrids, 'Ex Machina' and 'Annihilation'. It?s also more menacing and…

For all of its singularly bizarre thrills, all of which reaffirm Garland as a vital interpreter for a world that?s coming apart at the seems, 'Men' is the first of his films that makes life feel…

Garland's active engagement with his themes, moods, and show-stopping ick is still something to be reckoned with in today?s climate of fear in the film industry regarding original stories.
