‘Lullaby’ Trailer – An Ancient Lullaby Resurrects a Demon in ‘Annabelle’ Director’s New Horror Movie

Bait director Mark Jenkin’s next is the Cornish-set horror film Enys Men, and the brand new trailer suggests we’re in for a wild ride.

NEON picked up North American rights to the film that’s set in 1973 on an uninhabited island off the British coast where a wildlife volunteer descends into a terrifying metaphysical and ecosophical journey that challenges her grip on reality and pushes her into a living nightmare.

The gritty, unsettling trailer below puts an emphasis on “nightmare.” It’s folk horror meets ’70s grit, with music evocative of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, set by the Cornish sea. And the enigmatic trailer confirms that Enys Men is coming soon.

In Enys Men, “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.”

Jenkin wrote and directed, with the original story idea by Jenkin and Adrian Bailey. Mary Woodvine and Edward Rowe star.

“Enys Men was shot on 16mm color negative using a 1970s clockwork Bolex camera and post sync sound. This was to achieve the feeling of discovering a reel of never-before-seen celluloid unspooling in a desolate, haunted movie palace.”

No current date has been set yet, but we can expect Mark Jenkin’s very British nightmare to wash ashore in 2023.
