Men Trailer Shows Alex Garland's Haunting New Vision Led by Jessie Buckley

A24 has revealed the Men trailer for Alex Garland’s forthcoming psychological horror film, which is slated to arrive in theaters on May 20.

The video, which you can check out below, begins with a woman who goes on a solo vacation to the English countryside. However, what was supposed to be a relaxing time turns into a complete nightmare as she gets tormented by an unknown entity who keeps on appearing as a different person.

Men will be led by Jessie Buckley (I’m Thinking of Ending Things), who is currently nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her acclaimed performance in Netflix’s The Lost Daughter. Joining her are 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.
