Directed by: Mark Jenkin

Cinematography by: Mark Jenkin

Country: United Kingdom

Genre: Horror

Plot:

Strange things start happening to a woman observing a patch of flowers on a secluded island.

Reasons to watch:

Increasingly hallucinogenic and shot on 16 mm, Enys Men is a mind-bending experimental piece that combines folk, body, and psychological horror within a fragmented, non-linear package. It leaves the viewer with infinitely more questions than they started, but its enigmatic nature creates a memorable experience that will bait the curious, wanting to unravel its esoteric seaside mysteries, to return for more.
