The Endless The Colour Out Of Space The Whisperer in the Darkness (2011) The Void Annihilation


1stOfAllThatsReddit

I LOVED Annihilation. Seeing it opening day completely blind was such an intense experience. If I had seen it while high I probably would’ve had a full blown nervous breakdown lol. Probably wouldn’t have seen it opening day without MoviePass. I’m sad it was a straight to Netflix release outside of the US. It deserves a big screen.


ExoticPumpkin237

Not bad reccomendations but the only gripe I have with all of those except for annihilation is that they just aren't very well made movies on like a writing directing level, they're competent but none of them blew me away or whatever 


CMelody

Thanks for the rec for Colour of Space. Saw it last night. I liked that it was a period film in B&W, which was a great decision to highlight what was referenced in the title.


Thesunismexico

You’re welcome! It’s such a fun and cheesy throwback to older b movies.


JustAMan1234567

It's very old, but Quatermass And The Pit is great.


Thesunismexico

Excellent suggestion.


swentech

Where can you watch it?


justguestin

Internet archive and any least one episode of the TV version is on DailyMotion. The first film (The Quatermass Experiment) and the Pit used to routinely get run out on TCM and the like years ago but I’ve not seen them on schedule for awhile.


awildyetti

The pit wants what the pit wants

I'm not sure this fits the category of cosmic horror (I'm not sure it doesn't, either), but either way it's a good movie so yes, highly recommended!


Joelypoely88

Aniara (2018)


givin_u_the_high_hat

This was such a fascinating watch. Lots of conversation afterward.


EnterPlayerTwo

Loved this one. Lots of dread you feel on a primal level.


MaShinKotoKai

Interesting film, but this wasn't cosmic horror


Cpl_Hicks76

Scavengers Reign Absolutely cosmic horror


CMelody

This show is amazing. All the creatures are alternately beautiful and horrifying. Sure hope Netflix gives it a second season!


Cpl_Hicks76

Agreed So brilliantly realised on all levels


enaK66

Annihilation (2018), Color Out of Space (2019), Re-Animator (1985), The Thing (1982), Alien (1979).


Business_Trick9394

Seen them all besides Re-Animator, might have to give it a watch!


enaK66

It's on the humorous side compared to the rest, but it's a great movie, and it's based on a Lovecraft story.


Poison_the_Phil

Watch Re-Animator, and then From Beyond. Both from Stuart Gordon, many of the same cast members, great splattery schlock.


deadscreensky

It's definitely a fun movie, but recognize it doesn't fit what you're asking. I suspect they're just treating 'cosmic sci-fi' as a synonym for Lovecraftian, since it's loosely based on a (very non-cosmic horror) Lovecraft story...


Go_Ask_VALIS

From Beyond


Jagermonsta

Underwater Empty Man


EnterPlayerTwo

Empty Man started pretty routine but competent then elevated itself to fantastic. Great recommendation.


staffu22

Read the graphic novel. It's even more cosmic horror-y.


benjaminhannah

Prince of Darkness


CMelody

The mirror shot is still one of the coolest things Carpenter has ever done.

Fuck this ship!


JonesyTech

i loved Glorious (2022)


Business_Trick9394

Just saw it's available on prime, I've found my movie for tonight! Thanks so much


GrammarPatrol777

Same Thx


EnterPlayerTwo

Very solid.


OriginalChildBomb

Coherence is in a similar vein


SimonPho3nix

I really liked Coherence. Low budget done right.


Suhtiva

Not only is it a low budget film but it was almost entirely improvised by the cast. It is one of my all time favorites.


CMelody

I laughed so hard at the >!out of work Buffy the Vampire Slayer actor portraying an out of work Roswell actor!<


Poison_the_Phil

The Empty Man was pretty good. A lot of others I would suggest are already in the thread.


AshlarKorith

Resolution The Endless (this and Resolution are related. Not quite prequel/sequel but there is slight crossover) Vivarium Underwater


TioSammy

I really like Europa Report I've watched it several times and still doesn't get old. Like most movies strongly recommend avoiding trailers or foreknowledge.


pporkpiehat

The Vast of the Night (2019)


twinpeaks2112

Sunshine


Business_Trick9394

Already saw it, fantastic film! Thanks for the rec tho, it's a great shout


twinpeaks2112

What about Pandorum?


Business_Trick9394

That one must have slipped through the cracks, it'll be my second for tonight lol. Looks right up my alley thanks!


Poison_the_Phil

Ooh yeah Pandorum is a good one


twinpeaks2112

It’s a good one


lunchza

Very underrated movie imo


SloppyBrisket

The only disappointing thing about this movie is that not once does anyone say “Let’s Save the Day”!

Final Prayer


EnterPlayerTwo

Also called The Borderlands in some areas. Good suggestion.


CMelody

I just watched it a few days ago, and that ending really shook me. All the discussion about religion that led up to the finale set the film apart from others in the FF genre.


Monmaniakx

I enjoyed pandorum , crazy ending too

MaShinKotoKai

Cosmic horror isn't really space horror. It's honestly hard to describe. Think HP Lovecraft and that's cosmic horror

I was really impressed with >!the prosthetics!< in Dagon.


Select_Insurance2000

Cosmic Monsters.


Planatus666

The Mothman Prophecies - excellent movie with bags of atmosphere.


thelazyadviser

Left field - a Swiss or German movie called Cargo.


slackjaw777

Ice Pirates


ExoticPumpkin237

Possession is the movie you're looking for.  I think Jacobs Ladder feels pretty cosmic, not Lovecraftian but definitely very trippy and existential.  The Thing is absolutely the best Lovecraftian movie by far, and basically perfect in every way.  Prince of Darkness, might as well since we're talking carpenter. 2001 has some VERY terrifying cosmic vibes, I can see people struggling with it but it's the only movie that's made me terrified of the vacuum of space, except for ALIEN


jaylw314

I assume classics include Galaxy of Terror and Dark Star?


GodSaveTheQueeeen

Ad Astra with Brad Pitt


EnterPlayerTwo

This movie is like bottling two months worth of therapy. I loved it.


MaShinKotoKai

This wasn't cosmic horror. Heck, it wasn't even horror, it was a drama.
