Who are you? What\u2019s your purpose? What\u2019s your reality?

Go watch it now. Are you back? Great. When we are first presented with the alterna-Kane (Oscar Isaac), we don\u2019t know he is an alien double like the one Lena (Natalie Portman) squares off against in the finale. Rather, in a way that is surely an explanation for the doppelg\u00e4nger phenomenon through history, we believe Kane\u2019s changed behavior is some form of post-traumatic stress, not unlike a soldier coming back from war (which we know Kane has via flashback). His reality has been inextricably altered in an extraterrestrial world, but as we learn, that\u2019s not all that\u2019s been changed. Ultimately,\u00a0<em>Annihilation<\/em>\u00a0is just an LSD-soaked version of\u00a0<em>Invasion of the Body Snatchers<\/em>, where something from the stars plans to take us over, slowly and methodically. But what makes the annihilation entity far scarier than the pod people is that they want to do more than just change humans, they want to alter the very fabric of reality on Earth.

None, though, have captured doppelg\u00e4nger horror and the fear of losing your identity or the identity of loved ones so horrifyingly as\u00a0<strong>Philip Kaufman<\/strong>\u2018s late \u201970s masterpiece of paranoia. An alien invasion has begun, but rather than obliterate humanity with lasers and rectal probes, these crafty visitors are beating humanity at its own game \u2014 by becoming us. People are copied and discarded fleshy bags of trash while their copy incubates and awakens fully formed. Are they better than you? Than us? Probably, but it\u2019s their adherence to conformity that dooms our own species to extinction. Hmm, maybe there\u2019s a lesson there\u2026 Like John Carpenter\u2019s film below, this is top-tier horror appearing on more than one of this year\u2019s lists, and its effect is no less powerful no matter how many times we watch.

A Halloween doesn\u2019t pass without a dozen or so film writers championing its brilliance. It\u2019s a masterpiece, and you would be hard-pressed to find anyone who would disagree (and if you do, I wouldn\u2019t trust them, because they\u2019re probably the Thing). For me, with every watch, a new piece of dread becomes my focus. Some might not think of this as doppelg\u00e4nger horror, but on this recent viewing, I found my stomach churning early as Blair (Wilford Brimley) conducts his autopsy of the mangled, burnt creature, and the genetic calculations start to formulate. If this alien lifeform can perfectly replicate a human, would it even know that it was not human? Meaning, would you know you\u2019re not human? Is the Thing the double, or are you? This impossible knowledge is the ultimate scare of the film, and as Kurt Russell and Keith David sit across from each other in the final moments of the movie, the questions of their biology churn your stomach. If you can even claim your stomach to be your stomach.
