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?

I don't have much of an idea on if it was small but the movie Sunshine (2007) comes to mind. Loved that movie. It's well worth a watch if you haven't seen it.

I think it counts because for some reason not many people have heard of it. Very unrated and a great movie.

I really enjoyed 4/5 of that movie

I love the movie but you’re not wrong!

The Icarus 1 distress beacon is still one of the most unsettling sounds I've ever heard.

Yes! Im glad someone said it because everyone I tell about this movie ends up loving it.

I only heard about this movie a couple months ago and actually got around to watching it just last night. Loved it!
