Science fiction and horror are two of the most popular genres in cinema, and the pair often go hand in hand. There is always something frightening about the extraterrestrial or unknown, and most monsters are the result of scientific curiosity. Plenty of movies have successfully combined the two genres, some of the most famous being Alien, Event Horizon and Cloverfield.
9 ‘The Thing’ Directed by John Carpenter John Carpenter is the horror maestro who created the Halloween franchise, but it’s his 1982 film The Thing that really leaves a mark. It follows a research team in Antarctica that features Kurt Russell’s MacReady, as they are hunted by a shape-shifting alien creature. What’s most horrific is that the creature can take the form of its victims. The Thing is famous for its practical effects and body horror, which were incredibly groundbreaking at the time.
7 ‘The Platform’ Directed by Galder Gaztelu-Urrutia Netflix’s The Platform utilizes horror and sci-fi elements to explore themes surrounding class warfare. The film is set in a prison in a dystopian future, where inmates are fed through a descending platform. The wealthy prisoners on the upper levels get all the food they want , while the poor ones on the lower levels are only left with scraps.
5 ‘Crimes of the Future’ Directed by David Cronenberg As the king of body horror, David Cronenberg has directed many films that blur the lines between sci-fi and horror, with some of his most acclaimed being The Fly and Videodrome. However, it’s one of his more recent efforts, Crimes of the Future, that really solidifies the filmmaker’s twisted mind. Set in a dystopian future, the film sees Saul Tenser and his partner Caprice perform live surgery on stage as a form of entertainment.
