@grryboy I would never think of 2001 as horror. Possibly technothriller. Mostly pure #scifi with hard sci-fi elements. Not being a fan of #horror, perhaps my opinion doesn't carry much weight, mixing horror and sci-fi together lessens them both. Event Horizon was only sci-fi because it happened on a ship orbiting Uranus. That story could have been told in any setting with only minor changes.

@MrBear Definitely major differences in #hardscifi. Perhaps my view of #scifi film speaks to my ignorance of the genre.

My favorite science fiction is in book form: Ursula LeGuin, Philip K Dick, and Octavia Butler among them. I’ve read much less horror fiction. But in film my interest has been much more in the realm of horror.

@Macabre_ish Oh, alternate dimensions are great fun as well.

@grryboy They are! And a lot of them are well done.

@Fayedray I'm very ignorant when it comes to anime. The extent of my knowledge is frozen in time: Akira, Ghost in the Shell, Ninja Scroll, and my recent discovery of Perfect Blue, and Boogie Pop Phantom. That being said, I'm quite open to learning more.

Thanks for the recommendation!

@grryboy it's actually from that era!!! It's like 1997. A short movie that is a set with two other short films: both of the others are also very good but that one is absolutely "space horror quasi sci-fi"

@Fayedray Awesome, my ancient eyes will embrace as natural the picture quality.

@grryboy oh yeah especially cause one of Akira's directors also directed this

@queer_dem0n I've not, thanks for the recommendation.

@grryboy just now realizing autocorrect ruined my text lol i meant *Moorhead

@queer_dem0n I checked out the other guy first. Don't get me wrong Motorhead is cool, but I'm not sure I want them directing my horror movies.

@voron
I just recently watched this one. It was enjoyable. My favorite Lovecraft adaptation is Dunwich Horror (1970).
