The place is called "Area X" and all the people that have gone there to explore have never come back. An area outside a house with plant structures that are formed to look like human bodies. While searching clues of her husband's disappearance the biologist and her group must deal with a contamination, vanishing colleagues, a deadly animal and a creature known as the Crawler.

Trivia

All the bones

When Lena arrives at the lighthouse, there is a skeleton against the wall, a video camera which she switched on to see her husband light up a white phosphorus grenade. The white phosphorus would have melted all the bones.

Based on a trilogy

'Annihilation' is based on the first best-seller book in the sci-fi Southern Reach trilogy of Jeff VanderMeer.

Star Wars

Oscar Isaac filmed this movie and Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017) on adjacent studio lots. He had the same trailer for both films and would often film scenes for both movies on the same day.
