Alex Garland’s Mysterious New Film Men Debuts Its Equally Mysterious Trailer

If you’ve seen the superb Ex Machina and Annihilation, you recognize that any film coming from author/director Alex Garland is probably going going to be price watching. While this primary trailer for his upcoming movie Men doesn’t seem like a science fiction story like his earlier work, watch it and inform me you don’t consider one thing preternatural is happening.

The solely factor we all know in regards to the plot is that this: When a lady (I’m Thinking of Ending Things’ Jessie Buckley) learns of the demise of her ex-husband, she takes a trip to the English countryside. That’s it. It sounds innocuous sufficient… till this occurs:

See what I imply? While Buckley’s character will get terrorized by a mysterious man performed by No Time to Die’s Rory Kinnear, it’s unclear how… properly, actual the person is. First, he’s standing within the backyard in a tracksuit, solely to vanish from sight, adopted by the very unnerving shot of all of the fruit falling from the tree he was standing by. But then that additionally appears to be Kinnear, wanting very a lot the more serious for put on, viscerally attempting to stay his arm by the mail slot of her door.

Then there’s the unsettling Green Man imagery within the church Buckley’s character visits, which is accompanied by the faint sound of a scream? All indicators level to one thing supernaturally horrific taking place right here, or on the very least that Buckley believes one thing supernaturally horrifying is occurring to her. And but, the scariest a part of the trailer to me is the person on the far finish of the tunnel, who begins operating in the direction of her with out saying a phrase, giving her (and the viewers) on a regular basis on this planet to consider the menace to return.

Men, which additionally stars I May Destroy You’s Paapa Essiedu, will premiere in theaters on May 20.
