A meteoroid lands on the Florida panhandle and creates a strange, growing energy field that scientists dub "the Shimmer." Lena, a virologist and US Army veteran, believes she has lost her husband Kane to an exploratory mission inside the Shimmer, but he finally returns a year later, the first and only person ever to emerge from the anomaly. When Kane falls gravely ill, Lena joins a team of scientist soldiers into the Shimmer in search of a cure, but the world inside is stranger and more terrifying than they could have imagined.
More than just a creature feature (though the creatures are excellent), "Annihlation" is an eerie and cerebral sci-fi/horror experience that will challenge your preconceptions and leave you guessing until the very end.
