  Annihilation 2018

  ★★★★ Watched 18 Jun 2020

  This film was gripping and well thought out. This is Alex Garland's specialty and I didn't expect anything less. Natalie Portman's performance was very redeeming for me as I've only seen her with horrible material to work with. Every time she was being questioned about what happen in The Shimmer she seemed truly annoyed and confused.

  I also loved the creativeness of The Shimmer. Something that looks beautiful and inviting that holds twisted secrets.

  Didn't realize that The Lighthouse was a complete rip off of this one.

  Fantastic Planet 1973

  ★★★½ Watched 17 Jun 2020

  I could not look away from this film. The animation style and score grab you and do not let go until the credits roll. It was incredibly refreshing to see an alien world displayed in such a creative way. No aspect of the Draag's planet felt familiar, furthering the desperation of the humans trapped on it.

  Rosemary's Baby 1968

  ★★★★ Added

  A great idea of a what a horror movie can be. Despite being set in the middle of upscale New York, evil sneaks in. Great performance by John Cassavetes that really solidifies Rosemary's helplessness. I like that we never actually see her baby but are left with the character's reactions to guess for ourselves. Shots were framed very nicely and added to the eeriness.

  There were a couple times when Rosemary's obliviousness was unrealistic, especially with the necklace and smoothie.

  Don't trust old people.
