Fear What's Inside
A biologist signs up for a dangerous, secret expedition into a mysterious
zone where the laws of nature don't apply. A biologist's husband disappears.
She puts her name forward for an expedition into an environmental disaster zone,
but does not find what she's expecting. The expedition team is made up of the
biologist, an anthropologist, a psychologist, a surveyor, and a linguist.
Based on Jeff VanderMeer's best-selling Southern Reach Trilogy, Annihilation
stars Natalie Portman, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Gina Rodriguez, Tessa Thompson,
Tuva Novotny and Oscar Isaac. It was written and directed by Alex Garland (Ex
Machina, 28 Days Later).
***Critic Reviews For Annihilation ***
- “Garland's version is a worthy mutation.” – J. R. Jones,
Chicago Reader
- “Annihilation's commitment to older psychoanalytic (and
deconstructionist) models for the self and its inexpressible shadows makes this
a readily accessible drama of emotion.” – Josephine Livingstone, The
New Republic
- “Annihilation is some heady nightmare fuel, but its most striking
quality may be how little it has in common with the current trends in mainstream
science fiction.” – Alison Willmore, BuzzFeed News
