Doom: Annihilation
Short description
Doom: Annihilation is an action horror film about a squad of space marines sent to a research facility on one of Mars's moons after a distress signal. What they find is a base whose experiments have gone wrong, overrun by demonic creatures. The marines, led by Joan Dark, must fight their way through the facility, where scientists under Dr. Malcolm Betruger have opened a gateway to something far worse, and the threat could spread beyond the moon to Earth. The film adapts the long-running Doom video game series.
Tony Giglio directed and wrote the screenplay, following his earlier work on films such as In Enemy Hands, Chaos, Timber Falls, Extraction and S.W.A.T.: Under Siege. This is the sixth feature he directed. The cast includes Amy Manson as Joan Dark, Luke Allen-Gale as Dr. Bennett Stone, Nina Bergman as Carley, Dominic Mafham as Dr. Malcolm Betruger, James Weber Brown as Captain Hector Savage and Lorina Kamburova as Sandy Peterson. The film runs 97 minutes and was produced by di Bonaventura Pictures, Universal 1440 Entertainment, John Wells Productions and Battle Mountain Films.
