Men. Terrifying, am I right?

Alright, I'm not talking about the half of the population who identify as male (at least not all of them). Instead, I'm talking about Alex Garland's 2022 horror movie, which also happened to be called Men.

The British folk horror arrived in cinemas last summer to strong reviews, but it also proved just too creepy for some people to handle as viewers said it made them want to 'walk out the theatre from being so disturbed'.

"I had to leave the cinema while watching the movie men," one horrified viewer wrote after trying to make it through the movie.

The horror stars Jessie Buckley, Rory Kinnear, Paapa Essiedu and Gayle Rankin, and tells the story of a young woman who goes on holiday by herself to the English countryside following the death of her ex-husband.

Some viewers couldn't even make it to the end of the movie.

Harper (Buckley) is hoping the serene landscape will offer up a place to heal, but instead she finds that 'someone or something from the surrounding woods appears to be stalking her'.

"What begins as simmering dread becomes a fully-formed nightmare, inhabited by her darkest memories and fears," a synopsis explains.

If you didn't get a chance to watch Men in cinemas, or happened to be one of the people who walked out and are now looking to give it a second chance, then you're now able to stream the movie on Amazon Prime Video.

This is only one scene of an entirely disturbing movie.

It's only rated 15, but don't let that lull you into a false sense of security when it comes to how disturbing it really is.

As one viewer put it: "The most disturbing thing I've watched/experienced in a long while. I think it's about grief and abuse, and about a strong woman finding a way to heal severe emotional trauma. It's violent in more ways than one, soulcrushing, and gory as hell."

Other viewers have gone after film company A24, which delivered the movie, by writing: "@A24 y’all need to be arrested for the psychological damage your movies do to me."

In spite of the evident creepiness, Men has received a decent Rotten Tomatoes score of 69 percent on the Tomatometer, with critics dubbing it 'bold and stimulating' and 'utterly weird and completely different' - so if you think you can handle it, it sounds like it's worth a go.

Even if you don't think you can handle it, at least at home you'll have the sofa cushions to hide behind, and the ability to switch the channel to something much more light-hearted at a moment's notice if you need to.
