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?

    Predestination is amazing. I read the book right after watching the movie, and the movie is just so much better.

      They did a really great job with it, especially considering how dated a lot of Heinlein can feel now, what with all his relatively benevolent sexism (among many other things). Not many Heinlein stories have been made into books–I think that this is only the 3rd–so it was quite pleasing to see.

        Agreed, if I read the book first I would not have thought someone could make it into such a great movie. Interesting observation about film adaptions. The only one that comes to mind is Starship Troopers. What are the others? Also, it’s interesting that they chose this little novel to make Predestination instead of his more well-known books.
