Men
In the aftermath of a personal tragedy, Harper retreats alone to the beautiful English countryside, hoping to find a place to heal. But someone — or something — from the surrounding woods appears to be stalking her, and what begins as simmering dread becomes a fully-formed nightmare, inhabited by her darkest memories and fears.

The film plummets from effective psychological horror in the forest sequences to incomprehensible body horror in the final act.
Men starts as a gorgeously shot, atmospheric horror with genuine scares and strong performances that builds effective tension through its first hour. However, critics consistently noted that the film completely loses its way in the final act, abandoning psychological subtlety for grotesque symbolism that most found either nonsensical or pretentiously heavy-handed. The technical craftsmanship remains impressive throughout, but the narrative coherence collapses entirely by the end.
