Sci-fi / Space Horror Movies ?

neoglow · 1 Aug 2011 at 11:28

Im a big fan of Sci-fi / Space Horror Movies, anything thats in space or involves an alien etc but the film is meant to be scary or scary-ish. So movies like Starship Troopers or District 9 dont qualify, theyre still good movies but they are not horror.

Ive made a list below of movies I've seen / own.

Can anyone add to the list a movie(s) they recommend?

The Alien and AVP series
Cloverfield
Doom
Event Horizon
Pandorum
Predator series
Signs
Sunshine
The Thing

Scary? I'd be scared if someone made me watch Solaris again. 2 hours of nothing happening on a space station with gorgeous george - no ta.

Leviathan

Deep Star Six
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0097179/

Both deep sea movies but could easily be in space.

Not really scary but not a bad film.

Saw a trailer for Apollo 18 last night, looks a bit freaky, I think I get the whole story from the trailer though.

Oh dear, you watched the remake.

And to the op, most of the films you suggested as being horror aren't. You could try the flawed but watchable Saturn 3 or Dante 01

I won't say that they're good across the board, but here's a few more for your list:

Hellraiser: Bloodline
Critters 4
Jason X
The Dark Lurking
Plaguers
Dark Side of the Moon
Demon Seed
Deep Space (Charles Napier F.T.W)
The Borrower
Galaxy of Terror
The Killings at Outpost Zeta
Inseminoid
Lifeforce
Planet of the Vampires
Forbidden World
Creepozoids
Star Crystal

Invasion of the Body Snatchers. One of the most bleak endings in a film.

Freakbro · 1 Aug 2011 at 18:34

The Mist (2007)

The only decent Sci-Fi/'horror' that's not on your list is probably Pitch Black.

It even has Spock in it, which is really weird.

Also check out The Faculty, currently being regularly shown on Sky.

Hell yes, unless you think Transformers is the pinnacle of cinema and films with subtitles are gay.

Saturn 3?

Warning: This film is total Marmite! I love it because I watched it when I was about 10 and it gripped my young mind.

Edit: note to self... search/read thread properly before adding suggestions... sorry, DeathCube

One that hasn't been mentioned, though: Society.

Love that film!

Hellraiser: Bloodline

That hellraiser film for me is the best out of the entire series by a country mile. It explains the story of the lament configuration box and has an ultimate conclusion on a space station. It was a really good idea for a film, just wish they threw more of a budget at it to make it truly awesome.
