ER

What does not kill me makes me stranger.

Morpheus, the unwoke.

Dead Koontz's Phantoms.
Dark city.
Lifeforce.
Don't look up. (Yes it's a horror movie, the all too real horror of the world being destroyed by corruption, greed and mass stupidity).
They will come back, come back again, As long as the red earth rolls. He never wasted a leaf or a tree. Do you think he would squander souls?" ― Ruyard Kipling

We all come from the goddess and to her we shall return, like a drop of rain flowing to the ocean.

I haven't watched The Decent in a while.  Really liked it.  Might try to give it a watch this season. 
At least, that's what Gary Busey told me...

Cult_Moody_Movies

I put sci-fi films on the list normally since is a brother genre to horror. As seen with my 31 Films for Halloween marathon I've thrown in the likes of Explorers, Hanger 18 and The Quiet Earth among my horror choices. However I count thrillers as horror, the likes of The Silence of the Lambs is based on the same events of Ed Gein, about the serial killers, and promoted as that in Fangoria. Just a pet peeve of mine.
