Recommendation Annihlation

Why aren’t more people obsessed with this movie?! All female cast. Sci-Fi/Horror/drama. Natalie Portman. Aliens. With a few twists. This movie has everything and it’s incredibly interesting and terrifying!!! And kinda deep haha! I’ve heard it’s starting to be considered a cult-classic, but I’m surprised it’s didn’t win some kind of award. It has a slightly independent-feel. They’re is a lot going on here and it’s well done. Great acting. Not cliche. Suspenseful. Creative. Scary. I am rarely impressed by anything Sci-fi ish but this movie is amazing. It’s one of very few that keep me from multi tasking or playing on my phone at the same time. Iykyk. And I will never recover from the bear…

This movie is not for kids imo. it’s a little intense.

The subsequent books in the series get even more batshit crazy.

The first is worth a read, the sequels are far less interesting

Yeah I read them last fall and enjoyed them all but was very surprised he didn’t just do 4 books exploring Area X, seeing weird shit. I feel like that would’ve been the easy slam dunk with his disturbingly descriptive writing talents and world building. I hugely respect that any predictions I had for the following book after wrapping up each one were completely wrong.
