20 Most WTF Horror Movies Of The 2020s (So Far)

Alex Garland well and truly cemented himself as one of the most fiercely original names in horror with his 2022 folk horror film Men, starring Jessie Buckley as a widow who finds her getaway to a countryside village upended by various men who all resemble Rory Kinnear.

In many respects Men feels like a film lab-made to polarise audiences, what with its vague, slow-burn storytelling approach, its frequently off-putting imagery, and especially its absolutely bonkers finale.

That is to say, nobody will come away from the film feeling indifferent about it - you're either likely to love Garland's bold, boundary-pushing surrealist grief-stricken odyssey, or find it overbearing and on-the-nose in all the wrong ways.

Either way, it's a ferocious vision of a film that's certainly one of the more memorable horrors of the 2020s, even if most will agree it's not one of Garland's stronger directorial efforts to date.
