Review of Annihilation (2018) by Wiscojoe — 24 Feb 2018
Annihilation is a terrifying journey into the unknown that will be achingly familiar to anyone who has pondered the nature of existence. It's a dazzling chimera combining the DNA of H.P. Lovecraft and Virginia Woolf.
Like life itself, the film is driven by an unsettling mix of beauty and horror, love and loss, desire and fear, exploration and obfuscation. The puzzle may ultimately be missing a few pieces, which is sure to confuse or disappoint some people, but for fans of sophisticated sci-fi and emotional horror this film will be a dark, enthralling oasis in a multiplex full of otherwise dull and phony escapism.
Hollywood doesn't often make movies like this anymore, so take advantage while you can.
