When the first teaser for Alex Garland’s upcoming film Men dropped last month, everything about it was a mystery. It showed us current Oscar nominee Jessie Buckley (I’m Thinking of Ending Things) as—per the brief synopsis—a woman who has retreated alone to the English countryside following a personal tragedy and finds herself being stalked by a mysterious figure. The movie didn’t look to be in the sci-fi genre like Garland’s recent works (Ex Machina, Annihilation) but it didn’t really look to be much of anything concrete besides incredibly creepy.
The full trailer dropped today and it gives us much more of that initial creepiness.
In this full trailer, we can see that the figure terrorizing Buckley’s character is played by Rory Kinnear (Black Mirror, No Time to Die, Our Flag Means Death), who seems to be playing a number of roles, all of them very creepy! In addition to the trailer, we also got a new poster today, featuring Kinnear’s face with a generic “MEN” stamped over it. A24 tweeted out the trailer with a caption of “yes all men” and a red flag emoji.
I cannot wait to see this weird mystery unfold.
