Listen "Annihilation (2018) - Book VS Movie"
Episode Synopsis
This week on Horror Hour with the Hanna's, we journey into Alex Garland’s Annihilation (2018), a surreal and unsettling blend of science fiction and horror. Starring Natalie Portman, Tessa Thompson, and Jennifer Jason Leigh, the film follows a team of scientists who enter “the Shimmer”—a mysterious, expanding zone where nature and biology mutate in eerie and violent ways.
We break down the film’s hypnotic visuals, cerebral storytelling, and existential themes of self-destruction and transformation. From the infamous bear scene to the unforgettable finale, Annihilation is equal parts terrifying and mesmerizing—a modern cult classic that pushes the boundaries of genre.
We also compare it to the 2014 Novel.
