Annihilation: Björk’s Florida

from Horrorscope Hosted by Horrorscope

We’re starting the new year off WEIRD with Alex Garland’s swampy science fiction horror nightmare, Annihilation (2018). If you’re into absurdly beautiful visuals, Natalie Portman kicking ass, thinking about the futility of the universe, or the music of Björk, you’re in the right place. Eric dives into the research with delight while Jaime white-knuckles it through this one. Content warnings: body horror, self-harm, and suicide, discussion of cancer, unreality, gore. (Also spoilers for the movie Life at 1:03.) This week, we're highlighting the Henrietta Lacks Foundation.
