Has anyone here seen the movie "Annihilation"?

There does seem to be some overlap between works of cosmic horror.
You'll REALLY see some similarities if you read Lovecraft's "Color Out of Space" or "Roadside Picnic" by Arkady Strugatsky and Boris Strugatsky.
Even some of Junji Ito's work shares commonality.
A location plagued with the unimaginable is a simple premise with only 2 options. Either we go THERE or IT comes HERE.

There is a good chance some of the staff for "Annihilation" watched/read Abyss. Same premise of losing a loved one and seachering to the center/bottom of a hellscape. The only big difference is the tone. Abyss being more fantastical and adventurous, while Annihilation is focused on horror.

For forum posts you really should at least add a discussion question. Also, comparing Made in Abyss to Annihillation is an angle i havent seen before but is definitely apt.

I don't know many in terms of games, but:
World of Horror (Junji Ito inspired Visual Novel)
Dead Space (Resident Evil gameplay on a spaceship infected with an alien hivemind)
Saya no Uta (VN about a guy diagnosed with a disease that warps his senses to make everything look like rotting meat, discovers the one person he can see normally...HUGE SUBJECT MATTER WARNING)
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. (pseudo adaptation of Roadside Picnic, so very much like Annihilation...chernobyl became a restricted area of reality warping bs and monsters, while you the player have to explore and scrounge for scraps. rumor has it, the center of the zone has a crystal that can grant wishes)
Silent Hill counts too, technically.

For movies:
Color Out of Space (2019 really good Nicolas Cage acting)
The Void (2016)
Slither (2006)
The Mist (2007)
Event Horizon (1997)

These should be enough to get the rabbit-hole going.

If you liked the movie, the trilogy its based off gets even more trippy!
