  Love that movie! But there’s nothing otherworldly, nothing supernatural going on. The captain of the Icarus I is plain nuts, not like he’s possessed or the like.

    There’s a theme in the movie that some of the crew become obsessed with the sun, without any rational reason being given.

    “Cosmic horror has been established as one of the most chilling sub-genres in horror cinema. With a focus on the unknown, isolation, and the human mind, cosmic horror … these stories focus on the endless possibilities of the universe’s fictional horrors.”

    Seems to fit.

    I don’t know the shots constantly try to remind you if that largest and most destructively uncaring monster of them all “The Sun”

    I think it absolutely is cosmic horror. Humans up against something so much more than them it’s hard to not curl up into a ball at the concept of comprehending what’s going on, so they’ve have to continue.

    Plus the ending.
