I didn't know there was a movie, but that sounds like the fairytale "Thousand-Furs", you might try searching that.

I saw this probably in the 2000s or 2010s on Syfy (then Scifi) channel in the US, but it was set in the UK. I really thought it was Irish, but might've been Scottish or UK, as my searches of each have...

Someone found the actor and the movie! Thank you/them! Tony Kebbell from The Female Brain https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5752360/
