1. Event Horizon (1997)

Movie Trailer

Topping off the list is the 1997 title Event Horizon directed by Paul Ws. Anderson. It takes place in the year 2047. After the mysterious disappearance of the star-ship Event Horizon on its maiden voyage it mysteriously reappears. The rescue ship Lewis and Clark commanded by Capt. Miller is dispatched to investigate. What they find on this ship can best be described as a living Hell. Will the crew get out with their lives and their sanity?

This film has some stunning visuals and the very construction of the ships is reminiscent of the USG Ishimaru. Those who like Dead Space will appreciate the deep psychological component that endures throughout the film. There’s also some parallels that could be drawn between the film and game. There’s an alien intelligence that has sinister intentions for our unsuspecting crew. Like Dead Space the crew quickly encounters blood splattered rooms and dismembered corpses alluding to the fate of the previous crew. Crew members also experience some form of hallucinations, much like victims of the Marker, and one even commits suicide.

There isn’t a terribly high production, but the way it was shot makes it hard to notice the budget. The plot is extremely original and is like nothing we are used to seeing from the sci-fi/horror genre. It combines psychological elements with visceral violence and jump scares to make a truly unique viewing experience. This is a must see for Dead Space fans. I give this film a 10 out of 10.

So there is my list. There are many other movies that Dead Space fans may enjoy, but when It comes to the best of the best these movies are at the top of the list. Whether you love Dead Space for the psychological thrills that send shivers down your spine and keep you guessing or the action packed fight sequences this list has something for you. Check them out and let me know what you think about the movies on this list!
