Evoking the feeling of discovering a reel of never-before-seen celluloid unspooling in a haunted movie palace, this provocative and masterful vision of horror asserts Mark Jenkin as one of the U.K.'s most exciting and singular filmmakers.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

If its story's mysteries are ultimately less compelling than they might seem, Enys Men's retro aesthetic and intriguingly abstract visuals make this a chilly treat for horror fans.

The tedious folk horror tale Enys Men is a case of plenty of folk but no horror. Go to Full Review
Michael O'Sullivan Washington Post 04/04/2023
2.5/5
It’s a fever dream in which the past and present are confused, along with plant and animal, the living and the dead, and, ultimately, the meaning of this troubled vision. Go to Full Review

I was riveted by every moment of this haunting weird film. "Enys Men" made me legitimately uneasy. Go to Full Review

Enys Men is a criminal mix of dull and confusing; if you’ve ever wondered what being stuck on an island with no phone, TV or internet would be like then this might be the movie for you. Go to Full Review

Atmospheric and paced like a scattershot dream, Enys Men is a psychological horror that is unnerving but also compelling Go to Full Review

Sagnik Nath 04/15/2023 Nothing much to offer See more Mary-Koh S @MK-Ultra 13h A haunting study of trauma, ritual, and place-memory, where landscape itself becomes an archive of repetition and loss. Beautiful and enigmatic, the film prioritizes mood and mystery over linear narrative, so it won’t be for everyone. See more Bruce C @Copper1811 Mar 6 Brutally boring, very slow moving with next to no dialog or character development. See more Ricardo d @RT43154676 Feb 16 A fotografia é linda e a locação também. Mas um filme sem história é um monte de retratos enfileirados. See more Logan D @Greynomad38 Feb 5 Alone on an uninhabited Cornish island, a wildlife volunteer (Mary Woodvine) experiences reality as a scattershot dream. Filmed with 16mm, grainy, virtually colorless, and rife with fixed compositions, Enys Men will test the biggest fan of slow burns. It's at once enticing and frustrating in how little it tells us. The narrative is intentionally opaque, leaving much to the viewer's interpretation. Mourning become anemia. I enjoyed it but not for everyone. See more Jacob S. @jacobsimons Oct 16 In the same realm as Skinamarink but brighter and on an island. I really wanted to like this. But, it was truly a bore outside of the some arresting imagery and fairly haunting, albeit horribly short, sequences. The aesthetic and cinematography was great but repetitive to a huge fault in my eyes. The story, despite it being super vague in its presentation, was ok and not very worth the chain of events, or lack there of, you have to endure. But put this on if you want to be put into a trance before bed because it definitely has that affect. But, ultimately felt more like an experimental film made by a very ambitious and passionate film student who prefers vibe over more elaborate storytelling. See more Read all reviews
