What are some of your favorite smaller Sci-Fi Horror/psychological thriller stories/films?
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?
You're viewing a single thread.
Prospect (2018, movie) - It steals all the cool you associate with crunchy sci-fi short-stories, and gets away with it. Beautiful, lovingly detailed interior sets. Sparse exposition, leaving your snatching at any little turn of phrase or namedrop wondering if it's world-building, or just how the characters talk. Just the right length. Respect for not making it Yet Another Miniseries (YAM (this is my acronym, you'll never see it again)).
Also wow, I haven't read any reviews until now, and I'm glad I hadn't. If you like sci-fi just watch it. It's 1 and a 1/2 hours long. I've already told you too much.
+1 for Prospect.
It brought me back to the weirdness of the sci-fi era of the 70s like Battle beyond the stars, Logan's run, Doppelgänger and the original West world.
I felt like I was 8 years old discovering sci-fi again. Really worth it, although I'm sure it's not everyone's cup of tea.
This movie is super weird in amaxing ways.
Also, plus point for having Pedro Pascal!
Thank you for this recommendation, this will be my next Friday night feature <3
Prospect was an amazing movie! If you've ever played No Man's Sky, you'll for sure recognize a lot of the aesthetic choices they make for the space suits and other tech. I desperately want to explore the universe of this movie.
I watched up to the point where the girl and the guy run into ruffians, and didn't get back to it. Think I'll give it another go.
