Annihilation

Annihilation (2018)

Annihilation is a 2018 sci-fi horror movie staring Natalie Portman, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Gina Rodriguez, Tessa Thompson, Tuva Novotny, and Oscar Isaac. The movie follows Natalie Portman's Lena, who joins an all-female scientific team as they are sent into "The Shimmer", a mysterious energy field surrounding Blackwater National Park which has swallowed numerous expeditions. The film is loosely based on Jeff VanderMeer's book of the same name, part of his "Southern Reach" trilogy.

The following weapons were used in the film Annihilation:

Incendiary grenade

Kane (Oscar Issac) and Lena (Natalie Portman) both use some sort of incendiary grenade in the Lighthouse. Kane describes it as a "phosphorus grenade" in his video. Note that the prop appears to be a law enforcement market (i.e. not military issue) smoke grenade with a bare-aluminum body and painted yellow ring (indicating yellow smoke), not a white phosphorous grenade.
