This sounds great.

I really liked it! I may have to go back and fill in the rest of Wheatley's filmography. I kept meaning to see his High-Rise (2015) for Ballard and Tom Hiddleston.

Do you think it's in conversation with Annihilation?

It's harder for me to tell, because I didn't feel that I was seeing deliberate allusions as with the films from the '70's, but they could absolutely be watched together. There are ways in which In the Earth actually feels more like Annihilation the book than Annihilation the movie.
