Alex Garland's Annihilation is a masterclass in building dread through atmosphere and ambiguity, using a female-led ensemble to explore trauma and self-destruction. Its non-linear structure and visceral, dreamlike imagery reward repeated study, while the script's spare dialogue and philosophical undertones elevate the sci-fi horror genre into something profound.
