Enys Men is available on officially licensed, fully functional VHS from Retro Release Video in association with Neon. Priced at $30, it will ship in 2-4 months.

Written and directed by Mark Jenkin, the 2022 folk horror film stars Mary Woodvine, Edward Rowe, Flo Crowe and John Woodvine. The DVD will be released on May 23.

A wildlife volunteer on an uninhabited island off the British coast descends into a terrifying madness that challenges her grip on reality and pushes her into a living nightmare. Evoking the feeling of discovering a reel of never-before-seen celluloid unspooling in a haunted movie palace, this provocative and masterful vision of horror asserts Mark Jenkin as one of the U.K.’s most exciting and singular filmmakers.

Enys Men (2022)

Apparently there are exceptions to that old adage that no man is an island. Enys Men unfolds as a surreal enigma, often entrancingly hypnotic but occasionally overindulgent. Patterns and repetition are baked into the film’s bedrock. We begin our understanding of life on this island as an endless cycle of identical days, the unnamed Volunteer recording soil temperatures and noting no changes in the flowers she observes, starting up her generator, dropping rocks into a pit, and reading the ecological isolationist think-piece A Blueprint for Survival. The camera cuts metronomically, passively noting small details of the island and her hut. Small queries begin to emerge: why those specific flowers? Why the rock? For what purpose is her work? 1 May becomes an important date, overheard first on the radio (giving a date about a week in the future) but also featured on memorial placards. The number seven appears on her tea tin and in the number of flowers in the cluster she studies. Strange deviations float to the surface in the form of the strange craggy monolith near the Volunteer’s hut and a plank from a ship she finds on the cliffs. It’s eerie and unsettling, but to what purpose.

A break point comes when the Volunteer questions her surroundings for the first time, venturing out in the dark to ask who is singing. The world fractures into a Lynchian nightmare, the Volunteer pulled violently back into her abode, her body vibrating as if she were trapped in the Black Lodge. Nothing is the same from this point onward. Echoes of the past become rendered flesh which were initially just sounds and echoes of ships and mining equipment, whatever the past of the island held coming to the present. Miners grin in the dark. Doomed sailors appear outside when a Boatman comes to replenish the Volunteer’s supplies on a boat bearing the same name as that doomed vessel of some decades ago. The Volunteer is perhaps the vessel of all of this, at once bound to this purgatorial existence and embodying the Stone Island itself. She shares the vibrant red and white colors of the flowers, and the wound slashing across her abdomen grows the lichen which the monolith and the flowers both grow. That wound matches the one of the younger girl we observe. Perhaps this is the Volunteer as a younger woman, or perhaps it’s another woman. It doesn’t matter, really, this woman’s identity subsumed by the island she records and roves. She is its witness. Sailors lost in a tragedy and children singing folk tunes and maids in aprons—always seven—act out the events of the past as her hut becomes overgrown and repaired. Life and permanence and transience are intertwined. We constantly cut to closeups of the Volunteer’s face, intertwining our experience as an audience with her gaze. Now. Does every lichen appearance need a goofy noise sting? Do we need quite that many optical zooms? Does it venture into cornball territory at points? Oh yes. More damagingly, the balance between ambiguity and overemphasizing patterns comes under threat at a few times: you don’t need a closeup of the SEVEN on the tin; just let people get curious and start counting. But it is nice to experience a film that isn’t interested in leading you by the hand to all of the answers, simply content and confident enough to allow the viewer to make connections on their own.

THE RULES

SIP

A rock goes down the well.

Seven of anything appears onscreen at the same time.

Nudity.

More than one Volunteer in a scene.

Someone speaks on the radio.

BIG DRINK

JUMP SCARE MOMENT

That absolute banger “Kan Me” starts to figure into a scene.

Mary Woodvine and Kurtis O'Brien in Doc Martin (2004) In Loco

S2E2

To his surprise, Martin learns that he is a governor of the local school. He agrees to serve but when he learns that Louisa Glasson is a candidate for the headmistress position, he warns her that she won't get any special favours. Martin also has to deal with an outbreak of a nasty skin rash among the students. When Mrs. Cronk is hospitalized after an accident in her fish and chip shop, the doctor reluctantly agrees to let her son Peter stay with him. Meanwhile, Bert Large decides to help Mrs. Cronk by keeping her shop open, over son Al's objections. Turns out his fish and chips are quite popular and with good reason.
