I do have a list of movies I'm interested in seeing - though I haven't touched it for a few years. Both Annihilation and Hunt for the Wilderpeople are there so we're off to a good start from my perspective! I started with Annihilation yesterday because it's on Netflix and therefore easy. I doubt any sci-fi horror can match Alien or The Thing. I've seen Alien a bunch of times and it still holds up but I'm a bit scared to re-watch The Thing because I have a feeling I might have magnified it in my mind through the emotional lens of nostalgia and it may be disappointing. I really liked Annihilation though. I don't go for horror per-se, but I do enjoy some good, egregious body horror and I liked their choice to unambiguously show the alien and not hide behind the "leave it to your imagination because it's worse than we can show you"
