Our last folk horror film of the month is the 2022 psychodrama ‘Enys Men’, directed by Mark Jenkin. 🗿☎️🚤📻🔦📘

For us, this film raises the central question: what do you want from horror? Do you like style (vibes) or substance (plot)? Is style without substance monotonous? We debate this film’s effectiveness and then go into the potential political and socioeconomic readings of the film. We also discuss how it may be using nature and folk horror traditions to comment on industrialism and trade unionism in Thatcherite Britain.
