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?

Peace On Earth is a book by Stanislaw Lem, the author of Solaris.

It is my all-time favourite sci-fi novel.

The premise is that mankind builds autonomous war robots and sends them to the moon to fight proxy wars instead of real wars on earth. But the robots evolve. For reasons unknown, contact with the moon is lost, so humanity sends a astronaut up to see what's going on.

What does smaller mean in this context because most replies here are anything but in my opinion. Aliens? Small?

The music video for Failure's song Counterfeit Sky

It's such a good package. I only wish it was a fully flushed out story

Annihilation fits within the criteria, but it's not really a "small", indie or less known movie.

I watched Circle on Netflix a long time ago (not to be confused with Tom Hanks movie), minimalistic but captivating. A Man from Earth is really deep although even more minimalistic

A walk in the dark - Arthur C. Clarke

It's a scifi thriller short story. I believe that there is an old radio play available

Always had a soft spot for Impostor (2001) with Gary Sinise based on Philip K Dick's short story. It never is mentioned very much
