The movie
Gone on a mission in the middle of a lethal epidemic, a scientist and his forest guide bump into a recluse whose intentions remain ambiguous. It’s science vs spirituality. Mesmerising. En savoir plus
As a virus is wreaking havoc throughout the world, the scientific community rushes to create a vaccine. It’s in these turbulent circumstances that Martin is sent to the Bristol countryside to start his research. A forest ranger tags along. After a while, it seems like nature is awakening around them, until there is no longer any doubt: something else is prowling in the woods. Using the health crisis as a backdrop, Ben Wheatley probes the deepest recesses of the human soul and reconnects with the kind of genre cinema he started in. A horrific phantasmagoria and a sensory experience that will forever be seared in your memory.
