I'm finding myself with a surprising amount of down time and wondered if anyone had recommendations for scifi horror movies? Doesn't have to be an actual good movie or even to do strictly with space. Go as far as Sharknado or something to do with Chupacabra, all suggestions welcome!

My roommate is a fan of the film Europa Report, so you may want to give that one a try. I'm a big fan of the film Sunshine, if you haven't seen that one already. Neither film are specifically "horror" but are at least tangentially related to the genre.

Best? Galaxy of Terror has A few well known actors
Erin Moran of (Happy Days). you can find it on imbd.
Maybe on DVD ? Also the original movie Rollerball,

I remember watching that but I don't have it in my collection. A really cute animated SciFi movie is Wall-E. That Eve was really fast and deadly with those blasters she had. I usually don't care for animated but that's an exception.

Alien series; War of the Worlds; World War Z; The Hive too many to list.

Movies being shortened versions of any authors presentation ... read the books they are based on which is more likely to entertain you for a longer period of time not to mention let absorb the material at your own pace.
