I totally agree that sound can add tremendously to fear, but so can the absence of sound. Imagine all the movies we've seen where we fear for a character because there is no sound. The balrog in LotR is a terrifying monster in an upfront, intimidating manner and the furnace-like sound of its voice is a big part of it. But Shelob is even scarier because of the silence of the scene. We know Frodo is being stalked, but there's no sound and we know he's unaware of the imminent danger he's in.

The literal only way to tell if a person is real or the thing is whether they have inorganic material that the thing couldn’t replicate (tattoos, piercings, cavity fillings, etc.) so there’s an immense amount of paranoia, not to mention that it’s this alien from another planet that we know next to nothing about and that guns don’t seem to do much damage, only something like fire and even if you burn it, who knows if that’s the only one.

yeah, title was misleading and clickbaited me into new perspectives ^^

my interpretation of that creature was much more literal and, to me at least, even worse than what the characters assessed. first, the idea I had about the Shimmer was it's a force of hyper-congealed, raw reality. the bear was an amalgam of not only its surrounding environment built off its original form, but also included that which it *consumed* . When we saw Shepherd's dead body, her throat had been torn out in a very specific way: the bear took out her voice box, her vocal chords... the physical component of that. I don't believe a "part of her mind" survived in the bear, suggesting some kind of eternal torment. I think she was completely dead, and the bear took a part of her *body* to use as a sort of duck-call to other prey- other humans. It relayed the sound of distress to attract other prey to it... and this also suggests it's done this before, and survived. it *learned* this from previous teams sent in which it probably wiped out, at least a few, in entirety.

I had the same thought. Due to the shimmer it could integrate parts of his victims. And in this case used the screams to lure new victims. Only disappointing thing I felt is that it didn’t really sound like that woman. My first association was a drugged out rock star of the 80s or 90s screaming at a live concert 😂🙈

I had such a primal response when I paused the trailer and managed to land on the one frame that clearly showed the nightmarebear opening it's jaws as it creeped towards the camera. Now it wasn't so much the jaws or mutated and disfigured form that disturbed me, but rather the one eye it had. The second my gazed locked into that eye I felt a form of primal terror I have never felt before from a movie monster. It's the eye that gets me more than anything else.

Nothing about its muzzle or broad, long face looked at all extraordinary, and yet I had the startling impression of some *presence* in the way its gaze seemed turned inward and its head willfully pulled to the left as if there was an invisible bridle. A kind of electricity sparked in its eyes that I could not credit as real." the movie strays from the book a fair bit (reasonably so; I'm still dumbfounded by how well it was adapted to the screen) but of all the things they managed to keep, the uncanny feeling present throughout the entirety of the movie was 100% spot on. granted, the scene with the boar only took a page or so, but it definitely set the tone for the whole book (it was on page 16)

I love horror movies, used to be terrified of them, but now I find them boring kind of, I’m not scared by them anymore, not even a little flinch. I’ve watched basically every horror there is now and this is the one movie where I felt a shiver from the monsters, this just made me feel disgusted and I can’t explain why.

That f-ing bear...seriously, I had chills down my spine and even though I was sitting in the cinema with two friends, I had the urge to leave for the first time in my life. I didn't but this is how scary that sound was in cinemas. It was like it whispered cries of terror into your very soul. Plus, I got the hint right away that the bear's first victim was still in there, suffering. Because the shimmer is just morphing things together, including consciousness. Yeah girl...become flowers.

The merging of two species and the sound of the bear seems to be paying tribute to another movie- John Carpenter's The thing imo. When they burn the guy in the snow, still half morphing, it makes similarly eerie sounds.

This video made me cry. I adore the movie Annihilation, it resonates so strongly with my own fears and hopes, as a person and as a writer. And then the video delves into the story of people dying and being resuscitated, saying “why did you bring me back”…. I hope that when it comes, death is like that. Something I want to stay with. Like the long darkness of a dream. A weighted blanket on my time on Earth, never to be lifted again.

The scariest thing about this is the woman it ate forever locked in the torment.Imagine being locked in the moment of fear and pain.The attention to detail is phenomenal like when the bear shakes his head you can it the slushy sound of it rotten decay of rotting meat and blood mixed with the woman she ate.This definitely left a huge impact a scene I won't ever forget.

This scene SHOCKED me to my core because it made me relive a moment I had just recently convinced myself was some strange psychotic break... some fluke of my imagination. I was archery hunting for Elk in the Strawberry Mountains and tracking a cow elk(female elk) I just shot. I tracked it deep into a thicket, it was so thick that even though it was only 3pm, it looked like the sun had just set. It got darker and even thicker and I was afraid I was going to lose the wounded animal. Just as I was about to give up, I heard an very distinct child like female voice whimper..."Why did you kill me?" It chilled me to the core. I looked in the direction of the voice and I could swear I saw a hairless figure laying in some brush. I looked again, trying to focus and then heard..."Help me". I cautiously went towards the animal and could see it was an animal... and from the smell long dead. Its fur had fallen away in large patches. I stared at it for a moment... then I swore I saw it take a breath. I ran a 3 minute mile back to camp... packed my gear and ran the 6 miles out of the area in the dark. The bear scene brought that all back.

I remember when I first saw this movie and while the design of the bear was pretty cool as a mutated monster (I couldnt quite make out the human skull merged into its own) it was the sound that made it a thing of horror. That its victim was somehow still alive though devoured in the bear and calling out for help was the most chilling thing Id experienced in cinema since the Japanese film Audition. And as a monster I dont think anything had struck at me quite as deeply since the first Alien movie. Both illicited both completely primal fears and evoked the alien in a way that Ive never experienced before. Like the woman who choose to become a topiary, its hard to imagine a worse fate than to be eternally suffering your violent death over and over again as a part of the beast that consumed you.

Of course, after watching 'Prophecy' again about 40 years later on television, it didn't have the same effect that it did then.

In addition, as you mentioned with the bear looking cancerous, it also reminded me of how bears are even more dangerous when they're sick. In general animals which are injured or in poor health can become very dangerous. In the case of bears with mange, they're in pain, frightened, and confused, and look unsettling on top of that with their patches of missing hair and infested skin. Though the situation in the film is all very science-fiction and fantasy, the bear itself still feels all too real, even with a human skull and voice.

or the human skull mixed with the bear DNA and mutated the vocal cords to seek prey its almost like a SPC same details half rotten,replicates voices to seek prey and blind (forgot the name of the scp)

thanks for the feedback. means a lot.

Annihilation essentially took the base premise of the ‘phenomenon’ occurring in HP Lovecraft’s ‘The Color Out Of Space’ and expanded it. Pretty good Cosmic Horror film.

Идея, что фильм "Аннигиляция" и роман Лавкрафта "Цвет из иных миров" как-то связаны, была бы великолепна

When shot the fact that the bear screams in pain and says that it hurt is absolutely gut wrenching

The scariest for me was the mud monster from Grim brothers.. Because it is mud, you cannot kill it as it is black magic. It was running for that kid who lost his face to this monster and all the people who wanted to help the kid couldn't do anything. The creepiest was how happy and innocent the creature felt, as it just wanted to play but it was persistently running to take the kid into the water well and reached for him with its long arms 😫😫😫

bro i started crying at this scene it was nuts

I love your videos, keep up the awesome work!

This is honestly one of the best videos ive seen all year

I have to agree. I've watched many horror movies, but none of them have scared me like the bear from Annihilation. Like you, I actually slept very disturbed for the next few weeks, even a few months, after watching that film.

Outstanding. Thank you, friend.

I really like what Doctor Zach Bush said.

The story about the mutant bear reminds me of an old horror movie that came out in 1979 called “Prophecy.” This film had a heavy environmental message, and the main character was a severely deformed Gr. Bear named Kahtahdin. She was the victim of Mercury pollution which was dumped into her habitat by a nearby paper mill.

I saw this movie 5 times in the theater when it came out, it struck a chord deep within me, I love the themes that the story explores; self destruction, life, love, loss & mental illness. Annihilation really hits home, and highlights how beauty & horror walk the same line.

This bear looks near identical to a real extinct animal called Entelodont, which I think was related to modern bears (not sure though). Look it up and you’ll see what I mean.

Then, I take it that you've never seen the 'bear' from the horror film, "Prophecy?" And NOT the Christopher Walken movie...

I just posted a comment about Prophecy. As a child, I thought the mutant bear was wicked.

The worst part is I've just watched this video and I've been shook to my very marrow and it'll slip away, disappear into my history under music videos and short stories and I'll lose it again. But I also believe we are changed by all interactions no matter how minimal. What an incredible thing that the actions of one can reach to far, brush the soul of another and have such an effect. That this just happened to show up in my recommended videos 3 years after it's upload, on such an ordinary Friday. Thank you. You've made something very beautiful here.

this was a lot more deep than i thought it would be

Dude this bear is nothing compared to the creature in The Relic. That creature was nightmare fuel, and not to mention even the cops were terrified of it. You haven't seen it, you need to.

The lighting in the movie scene was so dark that I didn't even realize that the bear had a humans skull on the side of it's face. 😧

I thought the “gangly man” from del Toro’s scary stories to tell in the dark was pretty scary.

used this as background noise while playing minecraft, didnt expect to be this moved. 11/10 video essay, keep it up!
