The Best Sci-Fi Movies Based On Books

 

Annihilation

The story follows a group of women exploring an area known as "The Shimmer," where all plant and animal life are being mutated by an alien entity that arrived on Earth. Originally a novel by Jeff VanderMeer, this Lovecraftian horror was brought to the big screen by Ex-Machina director Alex Garland. Although the film bombed at the box office, Annihilation still received glowing reviews for its acting and its creative and thought-provoking story. That bear scene alone was enough to cement this film in the annals of cinema history.
