'Men' has a great trailer. But Alex Garland's latest film has precious little to add to the experience of watching its promotional materials. Despite the efforts of its stars, watching “Men” is like strolling up to the edge of the ocean only to discover that it’s just a big piece of painted scenery. FOX film critic reviews A24's latest horror film.

The trailer for "Men," his latest , promises more of the same. A woman shouts into a tunnel, pulls an apple from a tree, and sees a boy in a mask — stuff that shouldn’t make the skin crawl, but crawl it does. Those creeping images trigger an instinctive reaction, a fierce tug on your fight-or-flight response.
That’s the high point of Harper’s country sojourn, and while I’d love to tell you that things get more subtle as they grow more terrifying, that would be a lie. "Men" becomes somehow more muddled and more heavy-handed all at once, losing its anchor as it lays the themes on thick.For Harper, the past and the present are inextricable. The more she seeks peace, the more elusive it becomes.
