Enys Men is a 2022 British experimental psychological folk horror film shot, composed, written and directed by Mark Jenkin, and starring Mary Woodvine, Edward Rowe, Flo Crowe and John Woodvine in his final film role. Set in 1973, the film follows a lone wildlife volunteer who begins experiencing nightmarish scenarios while residing on an island off the Cornish coast.

Production

Jenkin was heavily inspired by the Cornwall landscape when developing the film. Commenting on his inspiration, he said: "As a typical Cornish person, I hold superstitions and have always been intrigued and haunted by standing stones, their history and mythologies.

The film was shot in West Penwith over the course of 21 days in March and April 2021 during the COVID-19 lockdown, which necessitated a smaller crew than was planned. The crew set out for production to have a low carbon footprint, producing only 4.55 tonnes of CO2 (compared with around 3000 tonnes for a typical film) which was offset.

Jenkin chose to film the exterior daytime sequences using Kodak Vision3 50D Color Negative Film, and frequently under-exposed his film stock for stylistic purposes.

Once completed, the exposed filmstock was processed at the Kodak Film Lab at Pinewood Studios before being scanned in 4K. The lab team were instructed to not perform any cleaning of the film, which would have removed dust or other particulates, and to refrain from performing any image stabilization.

Because the film was shot without a sound camera, all sound effects and dialogue were mixed via ADR in post-production using captured sound.
