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 Mist (2007)

I did not expect the film's ending to be so crushing.

What does smaller mean in this context because most replies here are anything but in my opinion. Aliens? Small?

The music video for Failure's song Counterfeit Sky

It's such a good package. I only wish it was a fully flushed out story

For books, House of leaves by Mark danielewski is a pretty crazy ride into madness.

A walk in the dark - Arthur C. Clarke

It's a scifi thriller short story. I believe that there is an old radio play available

Annihilation fits within the criteria, but it's not really a "small", indie or less known movie.

I watched Circle on Netflix a long time ago (not to be confused with Tom Hanks movie), minimalistic but captivating. A Man from Earth is really deep although even more minimalistic

Always had a soft spot for Impostor (2001) with Gary Sinise based on Philip K Dick's short story. It never is mentioned very much
