Annihilation (2018)

JustWatch Streaming Info | imdb | trailer

This is a solid, big budget SF adventure film that borrows heavily from Andrei Tarkovsky and J.G. Ballard. That’s not a bad thing. In fact, that’s just what makes it “Anomalous.”

UPDATE 2.24 – I recently read the book and it is excellent. It’s so different from the movie it is mind blowing (and better IMO). I would say the novel is recommended reading unless you expect it to be more than a little similar to the film. I like both, but you know I am a weirdo.

Available on Blu-ray from Paramount.

The Nightingale (2018)

JustWatch Streaming Info | imdb | trailer

This is a pitch black revenge film. I’ve seen a lot of on screen nastiness in my time, but The Nightingale made even me cringe. The only flaw of the movie is that it is too damn long. It’s definitely worth checking out if you’ve got patience, and a strong stomach.

The Nightingale is available Blu-ray from Scream Factory.
