31 Horror Movies You Must Watch This October 2022

9. Men

Alex Garland's third feature Men has split audiences and critics straight down the middle, some dismissing it as an on-the-nose social allegory while others embraced it as one of the most visionary and original horror films of the year.

What's basically undeniable is that Jessie Buckley gives a superb performances as traumatised lead Harper, who while holed up in a remote cottage to deal with her husband's death, is terrorised by a group of men who all appear to resemble the same man (Rory Kinnear).

It's a killer concept, and while Garland's central thematic isn't exactly subtle, sometimes the sledgehammer approach is precisely what a story needs.

Yet it's the film's absolute mind-melter of an ending that's kept people talking ever since, and yeah, you really just need to see that climax for yourself, because it's... a lot.

Men is out now.
