Alex Garland is one of the most successful science fiction writers working today, and has significantly changed the way that modern films look and feel. Garland’s work writing for director Danny Boyle resulted in 28 Days Later and Sunshine, both of which became highly influential. The development of fast-moving zombies and the interest in existentialist deep space adventures within modern science fiction can be directly tied to Garland.
'Men' Men was the film that tested Garland’s storytelling abilities and revealed that nothing about his direction would be effective if the concept wasn’t well-established. The 2022 film was Garland’s first attempt at the folk horror genre and told a fairly straightforward story about the recently widowed woman Harper Marlowe as she is stalked by a mysterious stranger who transforms into different bodies.
'Devs' Devs was Garland’s first miniseries, and while it aired in eight episodes on FX, it really felt like an eight-hour movie more than anything. Devs starts off as a simple murder mystery, but then quickly evolves into a deeper analysis of grief, trauma, the tech industry within Silicon Valley, and the search for God.
'Annihilation' Annihilation is Garland’s most rewatchable film because it's the ultimate movie discussion starter. Some view it as an analysis of grief, but some critics took the film’s mind-blowing mythology to be entirely literal. Annihilation was definitely Garland’s most accomplished work as a director, as he created stunning visuals reminiscent of science fiction classics like Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey and Andrei Tarkovsky’s Stalker.
