A rocketship drifts through the dark recesses of space, with its crew desperately laboring to safeguard their survival. But, hidden amongst these well-meaning workers is an Imposter, an inconspicuous figure who is hell-bent on killing their comrades without getting caught<\/a>. Will the crew correctly identify this Imposter, or will an innocent astronaut be shot into space\u2019s vacuum instead?<\/p>\n

Originally debuting in 2018 but blowing up in popularity in August of 2020, Among Us<\/em> has overtaken Fall Guys<\/em> to become the party game of the summer<\/a>, causing many heated arguments between friends. In fact, the game is so popular at the moment, the developers have cancelled plans for a sequel<\/a>, to instead focus on polishing up the existing game to hopefully maintain this jump in popularity.<\/p>\n

Half-paranoid thriller, half-sci-fi adventure, Among Us<\/em> offers players a very specific tone and aesthetic. Enamored with the game, many users are looking for films that capture and echo the feeling of Among Us<\/em> (of essentially feeling paranoid on a spaceship). So, here are 5 games that any fan of Among Us <\/em>are sure to adore.<\/p>\n

Among Us <\/em>and Sunshine<\/em> are so similar, it borderlines on copyright infringement. The 2007 film follows a group of astronauts as they shuttle a mega-bomb towards\u00a0the\u00a0sun, hoping that a big enough explosion will re-awaken the dying star and save a freezing Earth. Made up of an international cohort, this group is the planet\u2019s last ever chance following the failure of a previous attempt. However, with the spaceship facing problems at every step, it would seem someone in the crew of\u00a0eight doesn\u2019t want the group to complete their mission.<\/p>\n

Directed by Danny Boyle (Slumdog Millionaire, 28 Days Later) <\/em>and penned by sci-fi super-writer Alex Garland (Ex Machina<\/em>, Annihilation<\/em>), Sunshine<\/em> has everything<\/a> fans of Among Us<\/em> could possibly want: a surprisingly retro space aesthetic, subterfuge and paranoia between the crewmates, and sudden bursts of slasher-esque violence. Starring Cillian Murphy and Chris Evans, the film ticks all the boxes, and so shouldn\u2019t be missed.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

A sci-fi classic, John Carpenter\u2019s 1982 film The Thing<\/em> pretty much wrote the rulebook on how to combine science and paranoia. Based off the novella Who Goes There?,<\/em> the film follows a group of American scientists who encounter an alien \u201cthing\u201d in the ice in Antarctica. After studying the parasitic extra-terrestrial, they discover that it can imitate the appearance of other organisms and that has escaped its holdings\u2026 in other words, they can\u2019t trust anyone, as any of them could be \u201cthe Thing\u201d.<\/p>\n

Starring a young Kurt Russell, The Thing <\/em>was trashed when it was first released, but fans and modern critics have realized the brilliance of the film\u2019s concept \u2013 that nothing is more terrifying than not knowing who to trust<\/a>. Fans of Among Us<\/em> can definitely empathize with the film\u2019s characters, as they attempt to discern who the \u2018Thing\u2019 is, and if they can stop\u00a0it before\u00a0it\u00a0can escape.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

Solaris<\/em> is basically what happens when you combine Sunshine<\/em> and The Thing<\/em>. George Clooney is Dr. Chris Kelvin, a scientist sent to a space station orbiting the mysterious eponymous planet, Solaris. Once there, he discovers that the station has been overcome by shapeshifting aliens, who assume the form of the scientists and their loved ones, and who inadvertently disrupt the mission. The real kicker? The aliens don\u2019t know that they\u2019re aliens, meaning no one\u2019s sure of who the imposters are (yeah, it\u2019s essentially \u2018Total Rickall\u2019 from Rick and Morty<\/em><\/a>, but serious).<\/p>\n

Solaris<\/em> may not be as good as either Sunshine <\/em>or The Thing<\/em>, but it does a great job at balancing the sci-fi with the paranoia. Much like the audience, the characters themselves don\u2019t know who\u2019s real and who\u2019s an alien copy, allowing for the tension to skyrocket as the stakes get raised. It\u2019s like playing Among Us<\/em>,\u00a0without even the Imposter not knowing who the Imposters are\u2026 imagine the hijinks!<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

So, Life<\/em> is more \u2018tense-horror\u2019 than \u2018paranoia\u2019, but it otherwise fits the bill quite nicely. After obtaining soil samples from Mars that show evidence of extra-terrestrial life, scientists aboard the International Space Station discover that the life they found (which they nickname \u2018Calvin\u2019) is actually a sentient, blood-thirsty monster that poses a massive threat to mankind\u2026 and that it\u2019s somewhere loose in the station.<\/p>\n

The paranoia in Life <\/em>doesn\u2019t stem from not knowing who the imposter is, but rather not knowing where they are and how they\u2019re planning on disrupting the spaceship, something that Among Us<\/em> fans can empathize with all too well. With a stacked cast that carries the action and sells the stakes (Ryan Reynolds<\/a>, Jake Gyllenhaal, Rebecca Ferguson), Life<\/em> is a fun spin on the trapped-in-space genre, and not one that fans should miss.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

Yes, there is a Cloverfield<\/em> movie actually set in a spaceship (The Cloverfield Paradox<\/em>), but that film isn\u2019t great, so instead watch 10 Cloverfield Lane<\/em> (plus, they\u2019re trapped inside anyway, so it’s almost as if they\u2019re in space). The film centers around Michelle (Mary Elizabeth Winstead), who wakes up in a bunker and is told by the overbearing Howard (John Goodman) that the air outside has been radiated by some sort of \u201cattack\u201d, and that he rescued her by bringing her inside. However, as time passes and Howard\u2019s paranoia increases, Michelle begins to wonder if she really was rescued, or instead has been kidnapped.<\/p>\n

A spiritual successor to 2008\u2019s Cloverfield<\/em>, 10 Cloverfield Lane<\/em> is probably the most paranoia-inducing entry on this list<\/a>. Filled to the brim with threat, subterfuge, lies, and violence, the film pushes the idea of working with someone untrustworthy to the very limit. With an explosive climax, 10 Cloverfield Lane<\/em> may not be a space movie, but it\u2019s one fans of Among Us<\/em> will absolutely love.<\/p>\n
