Men is a 2022 British folk horror film written and directed by Alex Garland. Following the apparent suicide of her husband James, Harper Marlowe decides to spend a holiday alone in the village of Cotson, Hertfordshire. Flashbacks reveal that Harper, tired of James’s emotional abuse and manipulation, intended to divorce him, leading James to threaten her with his suicide. After James punched Harper in the face, he immediately attempted to apologise, but Harper angrily locked him out of the flat. Upon arriving at the country house she is renting, Harper eats the forbidden fruit.
Then she is greeted by its eccentric but well-meaning owner, Geoffrey, who gives her a tour of the house. Harper later goes for a walk in the nearby woods and comes across a disused railway tunnel. At the other end, a human figure begins screaming and running towards her. Frightened, Harper runs back through the forest until she reaches an open field. The next day, during a video call with her friend Riley, Harper spots the same naked man in the front garden, his face covered with bloody scratches, further disturbing her.
