The film, written and directed by Alex Garland , is a horror movie that, in its creator's words, is about “a sense of horror.” Rather than murders or gore, most of the memorable moments are all-too-familiar mundane scares. Or, at least, familiar to some people.
The movie begins as Harper arrives in a picturesque cottage town, hoping to emotionally recover following the death of her ex-husband. But from the moment she arrives, she's unsettled. Everyone—the landlord of the place she's renting, the local police, the vicar of a nearby church, random strangers —impose an uneasy presence that, at the best of times, makes it impossible for Harper to simply be comfortable and exist.
The film feels designed to head off arguments from those who would be dismissive of what it has to say. This is evident even in, like when an officer tells Harper he's skeptical that the man who was stalking her really was stalking her: “I don't know if he saw you once.” These moments highlight how skepticism, dismissal, and victim-blaming help create the very horrific environment that many claim doesn't exist.
That's not to say there are zero actual supernatural horrors. For all of its metaphors and allegory, there are truly grotesque scenes, but in true Garland fashion they get more abstract and open to interpretation by the end. The story also doesn’t forgo catharsis.

The movie is made for woke anti-humanists If you hate men, you hate women too. Two sides of the same coin.
