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've come to like Pandorum a lot over the years. I now make sure I watch it every once in a while.

The first 20 minutes and last 20 minutes are great. That guy who trapped them in the crucible was also great. Most of the rest of the movie was meh, influenced too much by other popular movies monster cliches at the time. I will always love that ending though. Didn't expect the glass to crack and reveal that twist.

I agree, Pandorum is a great one. I loved the twist at the end - I thought they'd go into a totally different direction with it.

Oh man, haven't watched this in ages. Definitely enjoyed it though

I watched it a lot as a kid. Came back to it a few years ago and it didn’t feel the same. Still a great movie

Saw this the other day.

This movie is awesome.
