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.

Oooo, that one was really good. Especially the sequence when something showed up that encouraged them, but was left ambiguous.

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.
