After directing the FX sci-fi series “Devs,” Alex Garland returns to his latest horror film, “Men.” The film stars the Academy Award nominee Jesee Buckley (“The Lost Daughter”) in the film that she seems taking on vacation in the countryside, where something haunting around in her present.
Joining Jessie Buckley are Rory Kinnear and Paapa Essiedu. “Men” features cinematography from Rob Hardy, who shot Alex Garland’s Academy Award-nominated directorial debut film, “Ex Machina,” as well as his follow-up science-fiction horror film “Annihilation” and all episodes of “Devs.”
