ڈیڈ اسپیس جیسی 8 فلمیں جو Necromorphs کو زندہ کرنے سے وقفے کے طور پر دیکھیں

مردار خلائی, the sci-fi horror video game franchise starring the ever-suffering engineer Isaac Clarke, has risen from the dead with a نیا ریمیک of the 2008 original for modern consoles courtesy of Montreal-based developer EA Motive — and it’s really good! Whether this is your پہلی بار descending into the Necromorph-laden bowels of the USG Ishimura, an avid مردار خلائی fan eager to spot what Motive بدل گیا ہے in this new version, or you just want to know who the heck this dude in a sci-fi diving suit doing the shoot dance in فارنائٹ is, the 2023 remake of مردار خلائی is solid on nearly all fronts.

The success of this new مردار خلائی game got us thinking about horror maestro (and “Grandpa Horror”) John Carpenter’s long-held desire to produce a براہ راست کارروائی موافقت of the series. Then we got to thinking where such a film would fit among the best videogame film adaptations created so far, and تو that got us thinking about what are the best sci-fi horror movies to watch for fans of مردار خلائی both new and old — y’know, besides the obvious ones like اہم واقعہ افق and the Alien series, ‘cus you’ve likely already seen those!

An hour here and there of trawling IMDb later, and you’ve got this list: The most مردار خلائی-like movies to watch if you’re looking for something else to chase the exhilarating horror and fun of playing through the new remake.


گہرا ستارہ

یہ کیا ہے: وہاں سے پہلے غیر ملکیوہاں تھا گہرا ستارہ, a kooky space comedy envisioned by eventual-غیر ملکی-writer Dan O’Bannon and then-unknown director John Carpenter as an offbeat alternative to 2001: ایک خلائی وڈسی. There are few comedies that would fit this list, but this is one of them.

Why it’s like Dead Space: کے پرستار مردار خلائی or Ridley Scott’s sci-fi horror movie will see instant similarities in گہرا ستارہ’s imagined future, where blue-collar spaceship workers futz about interstellar space. But Carpenter’s movie, first cobbled together as a student film then finalized as a feature for about $60,000, is a big goof, complete with slacker space cadets pranking each other aboard the Dark Star scout ship, a bowling ball alien sidekick, a talking bomb (the Hal 9000 replacement), and ahead-of-the-time special effects being put to use for comic mayhem. On the wavelength of ڈاکٹر Strangelove or National Lampoon more than any straight-faced sci-fi horror flick, گہرا ستارہ’s far-out space peril remains cult-y and off-the-radar. But there’s a reason Quentin Tarantino recently revered it as “ایک کلاسک". - میٹ پیچ

پنڈورم

یہ کیا ہے: Dennis Quaid and Ben Foster star in Christian Alvart’s 2009 sci-fi horror drama as Lieutenant Payton and Corporal Bower, two interplanetary naval officers and crew members of the spaceship Elysium who awake from hypersleep after eight years aboard and discover that the rest of the ship’s crew have gone missing. If that weren’t enough, a group of cannibalistic monsters are now stalking them across the ship as they race to find answers.

Why it’s like Dead Space: حال ہی میں انٹرویو with Rock Paper Shotgun, Glen Schofield — the director of 2022’s کالسٹو پروٹوکول and the original 2008 مردار خلائی — directly cited Alvart’s film among his favorite sci-fi horror movies and a prominent influence on his approach to horror in games. “I love movies like غیر ملکی, چیز اور پنڈورم. And then [اہم واقعہ افق] اور ایلین بمقابلہ شکاری. There’s not a lot of them, but I liked them all.” - ٹوسینٹ ایگن

اسے کہاں دیکھنا ہے: پنڈورم پر سٹریم کرنے کے لیے دستیاب ہے۔ سٹارز and ford digital rental or purchase on ایمیزون, ایپل ٹی وی, گوگل کھیلیں، اور Vudu کی.

سورج کی روشنی

یہ کیا ہے: Director Danny Boyle (28 دن بعد) and writer Alex Garland (فنا) released the sci-fi psychological thriller سورج کی روشنی in theaters just one year before مردار خلائی, and the film and game have some clear parallels. The movie follows an international crew of astronauts who embark on a mission to reignite Earth’s sun with a massive nuclear bomb — only to encounter the missing, derelict ship that attempted a similar feat seven years earlier. A deadly, mission-altering accident isn’t the only terror the crew of the Icarus II has to face, and everything that can go wrong, کرتا غلط جانا.

Why it’s like Dead Space: سورج کی روشنی has it all: a derelict ship; quasi-religious fundamentalists succumbing to space madness; flashes of grisly body horror; incredibly dramatic lighting; zero-G space walks; a lavish hydroponics lab; and a star-studded cast led by Cillian Murphy, Chris Evans, Michelle Yeoh, Rose Byrne, Benedict Wong, and Mark Strong. OK, that last bit has nothing to do with مردار خلائی, but what a lineup! — Michael McWhertor

مریخ کے بھوتوں

یہ کیا ہے: All of John Carpenter’s movies have delightful B-movie flare. But arguably none have more than مریخ کے بھوتوں, a pseudo-Western on Mars with an all-star cast (including Ice Cube, Pam Grier, and Jason Statham). When a freight train on a mission to pick up a prisoner (named Desolation Williams and played by Ice Cube) returns with only one survivor (Natasha Henstridge), she is interrogated about the series of events, unfolding through a series of interweaving flashbacks.

Why it’s like Dead Space: The Martian atmosphere is extremely spooky (and the red tones of the planet’s surface are gorgeous), especially in the back half of the movie, which I will leave intentionally vague so as not to spoil anything. John Carpenter is famously a fan of the مردار خلائی حق رائے دہی اور has said to anyone who will listen that he wants to make a movie adaptation. مریخ کے بھوتوں makes it easy to see why he’s so attracted to it. - پیٹ وولک

کہاں دیکھنا ہے: مریخ کے بھوتوں ڈیجیٹل رینٹل یا خریداری کے لیے دستیاب ہے۔ Amazon, Apple TV, گوگل کھیلیں، اور Vudu کی.

سولیرس

یہ کیا ہے: Based on Stanisław Lem’s 1961 novel of the same title, Andrei Tarkovsky’s 1972 psychological sci-fi horror drama centers on Kris Kelvin, a psychologist who is sent to a space station orbiting a mysterious exoplanet after the crew of the station have ceased communication with Earth. When he arrives, Kris is plagued with the same strange hallucinations and visions that are afflicting the rest of the station, forcing him to confront memories and revelations about himself and his loved one he had long since left buried.

Why it’s like Dead Space: In terms of the cerebral horror of it, and the fact that a literal planet messes with people’s minds later in the original Dead Space trilogy, Tarkovsky’s 1972 sci-fi opus feels like a natural companion to مردار خلائی’s brand of existential terror. It’s not particularly gory or bloody, but if you’re looking for a film that will — much like the psychologically corrosive signal emanating from the Marker buried in the strata of Aegis VII’s surface — sink its hooks into your mind and not let go, سولیرس کامل انتخاب ہے۔ ٹی ای

اسے کہاں دیکھنا ہے: سولیرس is available to stream on Criterion Channel and ایچ بی او میک and for free with ads on Freevee via Prime Video and for digital rental or purchase on ایمیزون, ایپل ٹی وی, گوگل کھیلیں، اور Vudu کی.

فلائی

یہ کیا ہے: David Cronenberg’s remake of the Kurt Neumann’s 1958 sci-fi horror film stars Jeff Goldblum as Seth Brundle, an eccentric scientist who believes he has created the first functional teleporter capable of transporting inorganic and organic matter safely across vast distances. However, following an accident that occurs while inside his prototype, Brundle’s DNA is fused with that of housefly — causing his body to undergo a bizarre and horrifying metamorphosis that endangers the lives of him and his loved ones. Jeez, and Gregor Samsa thought he had it bad!

Why it’s like Dead Space: While not set in or around space, Brundle’s transformation into a terrifying, sex-crazed human-fly mutant hybrid is probably the closest cinematic parallel to the ghoulish transformation of the Necromorphs in مردار خلائی, apart from those seen in either اہم واقعہ افق یا غیر ملکی سیریز. You can’t spell “body horror” without David Cronenberg. Well, err, technically you absolutely can, but any conversation on the topic of body horror without mentioning Cronenberg is moot from the jump! ٹی ای

پانی کے اندر

یہ کیا ہے: An underrated Kristen Stewart-led sci-fi thriller about a group of deep sea drillers who uncover some horrifying things at the bottom of the ocean.

Why it’s like Dead Space: It doesn’t take place in space, but what is the ocean if not “space, but water?” OK, maybe that doesn’t exactly scan, but پانی کے اندر’s eldritch horror leans into some of the very same ideas, images, and scares that many space horror franchises (including Dead Space) love as well. -پی وی

مردہ جگہ: زوال

An animated man in a brown uniform screaming as he is assailed by mutated zombie-like creatures. Image: Film Roman/Anchor Bay Entertainment

یہ کیا ہے: An animated prequel to 2008’s مردار خلائی, the film follows the crew of the USG Ishimura as they attempt to survive the psychological epidemic and subsequent onslaught of the so-called “Necromorphs” following the recovery of the mysterious alien artifact known as the “Marker” on the planet Aegis VII. The film was produced by Film Roman, a Starz Media subsidiary known for their previous work on animated sitcoms like ہل کا بادشاہ and films like 1992’s ٹام اینڈ جیری, and directed by Chuck Patton, known for his work on the 1997 animated series Todd McFarlane’s سپون.

Why it’s like Dead Space: یہ ہے لفظی the canonical prequel to the events of Dead Space! If that weren’t enough, as if it wasn’t already apparent, مردہ جگہ: زوال is gory as all hell. This was intentional on Patton’s part, who wanted to distinguish the film apart from the studio’s previous work as the goriest feature film had ever produced. On top of that, the production team was provided the 3D assets for the game’s environments and characters as references for the film’s animation, particularly the transformations of the Necromorphs themselves. ٹی ای

اسے کہاں دیکھنا ہے: مردہ جگہ: زوال is available to stream for free on Plex and with ads on Freevee via وزیراعظم, Vudu, YouTube, Tubi, and Roku, for digital rental and purchase on ایمیزون, ایپل ٹی وی, گوگل کھیلیں، اور Vudu کی.
