Alien/Aliens is a given for most people. I have been watching Event Horizon during the spooky season for years. What are some of your favorite books and movies with a horror/psychological thriller lean?
The Mist (2007)
I did not expect the film's ending to be so crushing.
The music video for Failure's song Counterfeit Sky
It's such a good package. I only wish it was a fully flushed out story
Creepypastas/Nosleep stories get a bad rap but there are some extremely well-written ones IMO. Some have even been turned into full novels by the author.
Some of my favourites inline with your specified themes include "1999", "Penpal", "The Horror from the Vault", and "I Dared My Best Friend to Ruin My Life"
Anyone know of an active lemmy community for nosleep stories? I used to read the subreddit all the time, every once in a while you could really catch a gem digging through all the trash.
Always had a soft spot for Impostor (2001) with Gary Sinise based on Philip K Dick's short story. It never is mentioned very much

For books, House of leaves by Mark danielewski is a pretty crazy ride into madness.
A walk in the dark - Arthur C. Clarke
It's a scifi thriller short story. I believe that there is an old radio play available
Annihilation fits within the criteria, but it's not really a "small", indie or less known movie.
I watched Circle on Netflix a long time ago (not to be confused with Tom Hanks movie), minimalistic but captivating. A Man from Earth is really deep although even more minimalistic
