Beautiful and terrifying, but not for everyone

Rating: 10/10 (22 August 2018)

If you are looking for another cookie-cutter horror movie that follows all the normal Hollywood conventions, spoon-feeds you a straightforward plot, and won't make you think too hard, this is NOT the movie for you.
"Annihilation" is surreal and psychedelic, dense with metaphor and symbolism. It is visually stunning with some incredible set pieces that are both gory and simultaneously beautiful. The climax is a long scene, with no dialogue, that had me on the edge of my seat. Natalie Portman's performance is incredible and dance-like.
"Annihilation" is a must-see for any serious sci-fi or horror buff!
