Gothic horror, have you had a chance to read sovay's in-depth review of Andrew Garland's movie Men? (Currently streaming on Somerville's Kanopy.)

I thought of you thanks to the Green Man reference in her first -- as always, literate and inflammatory -- paragraph:

Alex Garland's Men (2022) does not fail for me because I disagree with its folk horror, but it does require something like a suspension of mythological belief. Of all the folkways from which to draw an avatar of toxic masculinity, it would never have occurred to me to choose the Green Man, especially as such bluntly primal proof that #yesallmen. For two out of three acts nonetheless, the conceit throws out fruitful runners into the film's fractally off-kilter contemplations of guilt, grief, and gender. Beyond that point, I want the mythopoetic drum circle to get off my lawn.
