The tedious folk horror tale Enys Men is a case of plenty of folk but no horror.

| Original Score: C- | Apr 6, 2023

It’s a fever dream in which the past and present are confused, along with plant and animal, the living and the dead, and, ultimately, the meaning of this troubled vision.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Apr 4, 2023

I was riveted by every moment of this haunting weird film. "Enys Men" made me legitimately uneasy.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Mar 31, 2023

While Enys Men may play with the trappings and symbolism of folk horror, it's ultimately more of an internal psychological drama.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 31, 2023

It feels like a throwback to “Wicker Man”-era folk-tinged freakouts — confounding enough to not be everyone’s cup of tea, but for those ready for a pot of its brew, plenty transporting and tingling.

Elusive yet entrancing.

| Mar 30, 2023

Enys Men is a midnight movie made from the bare, bleached bones of works from an era when that term meant something, and for contemporary audiences that may not get the references but understand the universal appeal of dread.

At times, Jenkin’s bold, experimental style can perplex; but his vision is so unwavering and beholden to local history that his message is clear...

| Mar 30, 2023

Surrender to it, and you’re in for a unique puzzle that touches on madness, feminism, isolationism, the natural world and probably so much more than I caught in the first viewing.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Mar 29, 2023

While Jenkin embraces a cryptic narrative, the strong form in visual storytelling draws you into this patient, enigmatic reality bender.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 29, 2023

An experimental whatsit of the weirdest order, dispensing a brand of folk horror that’s so ambiguous and dreamlike that it makes Ben Wheatley’s kindred "In the Earth" look conventional by comparison.

| Mar 28, 2023

Are its cultish mysteries for everyone? Undoubtedly not. But if there’s a place in your heart for dark, folky mind-benders that plug into the cosmic energy of remote, oceanic terrain, you should take a trip across Jenkin’s freaky landscape asap.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 24, 2023

The writer-director’s use of colour 16mm, his (now-famous) 1970s Bolex clockwork camera, and post-production sound anoint Enys Men as the Kernowek equivalent of such classic English folk horrors as The Wicker Man.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Jan 20, 2023

I’ve seen the film three times so far, and I can’t wait to dive into it and be swept away again. Bravo!

| Original Score: 5/5 | Jan 16, 2023

Enys Men (Cornish for Stone Island) suffers slightly from difficult second album syndrome, but is still extraordinary in its own right.

| Jan 14, 2023

Enys Men is so rich with symbolism that there’s a real satisfaction to be gained from rifling through the clues. I wished only that I could get my own hands on it -- to cut it up and rearrange it until something new blossomed in front of me.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 13, 2023

There's a dash of The Shining and Don't Look Now in there as the scientist starts to slowly unravel, pinging between past, present and possible future...

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 13, 2023

In the proud traditions of English folk horror, Enys Men can be a challenging experience; leaving you with a sense of something ancient, yet also, in Jenkin’s ambitious telling, entirely fresh.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 12, 2023

Enys Men is all show and no tell, and some viewers might find that infuriating. It’s better viewed as an art installation...

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 12, 2023

Enys Men might have been called A Blueprint for Revival: an attempt to restore to horror something that Jenkin feels has been lost. If only it didn’t lack the power to truly frighten us, it may have flourished.
