Rose of Nevada poster

Rose of Nevada (2026)

Directed by Mark Jenkin

When a fishing boat, the Rose of Nevada, lost with all hands 30 years ago, mysteriously reappears in the old harbour of a forgotten Cornish village, for those who remember, it’s surely a sign. The boat must go out to sea again and maybe then the luck of the devastated village will turn. Young father Nick and enigmatic newcomer Liam join captain Murgey, and they head to sea. But when they return, satisfied with their haul, something is amiss – they’ve slipped back in time, and the villagers greet them as if they are the original crew.

Enys Men poster

If you saw Mark Jenkin’s first two features, 2019’s evocative and unquantifiably odd Bait, and 2023’s even more unusual Enys Men, you might think you’ll know what to expect from his third.

Bait poster
The village here – like the one in “Bait” – is another display of precarity.

I do enjoy and admire “Bait” more because of its filmmaking process and aesthetic.

It’s also fodder for an engrossing riddle pulled directly from the Rod Serling playbook. But don’t expect even a hint of an explanation. As was the case with “The Twilight Zone,” you either go with it, or you don’t…

The Dead Zone poster
Maybe the actual second warning was seeing The Dead Zone, David Cronenberg’s famous 1983 sci-fi thriller, playing on a TV a little earlier.

On Eggers, rather than any one film

Like a more modern, regional Robert Eggers, Jenkin is a stickler for period flourishes and details.

In the third act, the film strongly evokes Robert Eggers’ The Lighthouse, particularly in its use of sound and descent into something more surreal and intense.
