Enys Men is a slow-burn psychological horror set on a windswept Cornish island. A lone volunteer tending an enigmatic island survey encounters creeping repetitions, eerie flashes of the past, and a sense that the landscape itself is watching. The film unfolds through long, patient takes, natural light, and austere sound design, turning a field project into a meditation on memory, time, and isolation. Mark Jenkin's formal rigor and tactile texture create an unsettling, hypnotic atmosphere that lingers. Its meticulous craft and somber mood invite interpretation about fate, nature, and human connection to place.
