I rewatched Annihilation recently. That fucking bear scene still haunts me. Great film.

Just looked it up and it seems like a movie me and my wife would love. I'm surprised I've never seen or heard of it... do you have any more movie recs?

Guess it depends on what you like. I would say that Annihilation is a good starting point for cosmic horror, and Event Horizon - I feel - falls into that. Prolly Sphere, too.

My favorite sci-fi films are Bicentennial Man, The Matrix, Interstellar, Arrival, The Man From Earth, and Another Earth.

The best Halloween film I've seen is Trick r Treat.

If you're into books, it's also the first book in the Southern Reach Trilogy. The movie was good, but the books really flesh out the situation. I was sad they didn't continue the movies with the rest of the books.
