Playing God with Flesh
Watch these together for a run on makers and their creations: engineered organisms, alien progenitors, mutating zones and hijacked bodies, where science reaching for creation gets answered in flesh.
This is mostly accessible, big-canvas sci-fi horror that people already watch, led by two Alien prequels and Annihilation. Splice and Possessor are colder, nastier cult picks for when you want the idea pushed further.
- Prometheus (2012)
- Alien: Covenant (2017)
- Annihilation (2018)
- Splice (2010)
- Possessor (2020)
