20 Best Netflix Original Horror Movies - Ranked
1. Annihilation
Alex Garland's follow-up to Ex Machina is one of the most evocative and visionary horror films of the decade - a nerve-jangling, expectation-defying sci-fi film which begs the audience to dive down a demented rabbithole with Garland and his terrifically talented cast.
Natalie Portman leads an all-star roster including Jennifer Jason Leigh, Gina Rodriguez, Tessa Thompson, and Oscar Isaac, as a team of scientists enter The Shimmer, an extraterrestrial quarantined zone within which life finds itself mutating in unpredictable ways.
Smart, suspenseful, and ultimately absolutely terrifying, Annihilation offers up a uniquely heady alien invasion story, topped by a slew of remarkable performances from its cast, Garland's patient direction, and a whole host of mind-melting visuals.
Some may find it too slow and experimental, but if you're up for a challenge, there are myriad rewards to be found within Garland's instant modern classic.
