I wasn’t scared by the movie, but it has a similar dread throughout the movie. There are also some jump scares, and the ending has that ‘evil didn’t really get defeated’ quality.

    It’s certainly not jump scare horror; it’s more existential.

    I enjoy horror movies, but they’ve long since stopped “scaring” me. To me, they’re mostly just fun – seeing the effects, the ways they’ll put their own twists on genre tropes, etc.

    Annihilation, for me, invoked a true sense of dread and, well, horror. It’s several years old but still lingers with me.

    (After writing this I realized you said 2013, not 2018… hope that’s just a typo and we’re talking about the same movie)

      Oh yeah I meant 2018. Yeah my favorite horror is the ones that give you that dread and what if scenarios.
