Enys Men
Shot on 16mm, ENYS MEN is a mind-bending Cornish folk horror set in 1973 that unfolds on an uninhabited island off the Cornish coast. A wildlife volunteer’s daily observations of a rare flower take a dark turn into the strange and metaphysical, forcing both her and viewers to question what is real and what is nightmare.
Evoking the feeling of discovering a reel of never-before-seen celluloid unspooling in a haunted movie palace, this provocative and masterful vision of horror asserts Mark Jenkin (BAIT) as one of the U.K.’s most exciting and singular filmmakers.
"I was riveted by every moment of this haunting weird film. "Enys Men" made me legitimately uneasy." (RogerEbert.com)
"It feels like a throwback to “Wicker Man”-era folk-tinged freakouts — confounding enough to not be everyone’s cup of tea, but for those ready for a pot of its brew, plenty transporting and tingling." (Los Angeles Times)
"While 'Enys Men' may play with the trappings and symbolism of folk horror, it's ultimately more of an internal psychological drama." (Austin Chronicle)
"'Enys Men' is a midnight movie made from the bare, bleached bones of works from an era when that term meant something, and for contemporary audiences that may not get the references but understand the universal appeal of dread." (Rolling Stone Magazine)
