Alien/Aliens is a given for most people. I have been watching Event Horizon during the spooky season for years. What are some of your favorite books and movies with a horror/psychological thriller lean?

    The first movie that came to mind is Aniara (2019). It's a great film that really goes beyond to show the hopelessness of being lost in space and how tiny we are in comparison. Fair warning though: This film will absolutely destroy you on an emotional level.

        That was one of my favorite parts as well, it kinda reinforced that this was not a typical plot with a lifeline for the main characters.

      It didn’t hit me as strong as the trailers made it look like it would. It’s a really good movie; I don’t know if I’ll ever watch it again.

      This movie fucked me up and I go through horror and sci-fi films like candy. After it was over, I just sat there, my brain fully blue screened to protect itself from too deeply considering what I watched. Even thinking about it now, years later, it gives me chills. Such a good movie!

        Yup, same here. I went in totally blind on a sci-fi binge and I really didn't expect it to take such a turn.
