Enys Men

In 1973, a wildlife volunteer on a windswept, uninhabited island off the British coast descends into a terrifying madness that challenges her grip on reality and pushes her into a living nightmare. Evoking the feeling of discovering a reel of never-before-seen celluloid unspooling in a haunted movie palace, and shot on enveloping, period-evocative 16mm, this eerie and masterful vision of horror from Cornish filmmaker Mark Jenkin (Bait) conjures works of classic British folk horror but remains its own strange being – a seemingly genuine transmission from another world.  (Dir. by Mark Jenkin, 2022, UK, 96 mins., Not Rated)
