Feel the Horror of Creation in the New Annihilation Trailer

February 26, 2018
"It's not destroying - it's making something new."

While it certainly promises its fair share of creature feature gruesomeness (that ‘gator has shark teeth, you guys) Annihilation will certainly to mine a deeper and more disturbing vein of horror. Adapted from Jeff VanderMeer’s novel by Alex “Ex Machina” Garland, the film’s promo materials thus far have been gently but unmistakably unsettling, and certainly a cut above the usual genre fare.

As the official synopsis tells us, “Lena (Natalie Portman – Star Wars), a biologist and former soldier, joins a mission to uncover what happened to her husband (Oscar Isaac – also Star Wars) inside Area X – a sinister and mysterious phenomenon that is expanding across the American coastline.  Once inside, the expedition discovers a world of mutated landscape and creatures, as dangerous as it is beautiful, that threatens both their lives and their sanity.”

Jennifer Jason Leigh, Tessa Thompson, Gina Rodriguez and Tuva Novotny co-star. Annihilation hits Netflix on March 12, 2018.
