In this episode of ClassHorrorCast, we revisit Alex Garland’s haunting and surreal folk horror MEN (2022) — a film that shocked audiences, split opinions, and delivered one of the most disturbing endings in recent memory.

We dive deep into the unsettling atmosphere Garland creates, the layered symbolism woven through the story, and Jessie Buckley’s powerhouse performance as Harper, a woman seeking escape from grief only to find herself stalked by something far darker.

We’ll break down the film’s rural English setting, its eerie use of repetition, and Rory Kinnear’s unforgettable (and unnerving) multi-role performance.

From the visceral body horror to the heavy thematic undercurrents about guilt, gender, and cycles of violence, we explore why MEN is so divisive — and why that shocking final act still has people talking.

Whether you loved it, hated it, or are still trying to figure out what you just watched, this conversation will give you plenty to think about.
