Great scifi horror films, recommendations

one bed...oversized single. Good setting for the knife fight.

If you have a knife fight under the covers of a bed you're sharing, is that a Finnish oven?

Oh, that so belongs on Urban Dictionary.

So, if Yogi and NPR got a room, would it be a king, queen or twin beds?

Drama queen, methinks

BTW, Event Horizon scared the willies out of me. I can't for the life of me remember the name of the short SF story the idea must have been based on, but I remember the plot well - two astronauts set off on the first faster than light starship, it comes back ahead of schedule with only one man on board, who destroys the ship immediately upon arrival, because he has realised that FTL travel drives humans mad (the fate of his missing companion).

Larry Niven I think, from the compilation 'Inconstant Moon'

I recently read a compilation called 'Space Eldritch' that features hard scifi mixed with Lovecraftian horror and apart from one story that sucked it was marvellous.

Not a good sci-fi/horror flick by any means, but still very entertaining, is Split Second. It's about as quotable as a Monty Python flick. With big fucking guns!

Is it bad that this thread hijack has me simultaneously squicking out and ROFL?

Sci-fi:
The Abyss
War of the Worlds (Tom Cruise version. I ain't afraid of no aliens, but panicky humans give me the willies).
Pitch Black

Horror:
Ravenous

I really enjoyed "Silent Hill".


Oh, and don't forget the rocky horror picture show.

That ain't sci-fi or horror, regardless of the aliens or the title.

I did really mean scifi\horror rather than scifi, horror - but then I thought 'why bother correcting it, I'm getting two for the price of one here'

As for scifi+horror, I think Alien is the epitome of the subgenre.

"Lifeforce" was decent.
I'm not sure what to think of "Apollo 18". It's another one of these "found films", things that proport to be lost footage from something real. I liked the premise; I just didn't think the monster worked.

"Ghosts of Mars" was fun.
