Movies that feel like Liquid Sky (1982)
An alien creature invades New York's punk subculture in its search for an opiate released by the brain during an orgasm.
If you loved Liquid Sky, the closest films we have are The Element of Crime (1984), Colossus: The Forbin Project (1970) and Born in Flames (1983). All three share Liquid Sky's cerebral feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Hyena (2015).

If Liquid Sky hit the spot, these will too
Both land ideas and stillness at once
Takes it somewhere less tense than Liquid Sky does
Tense science fiction, and it commits to that
Drama built on ideas, twice over
Thriller with a pulse of grit, in both cases
Tense thriller in both cases
Both keep coming back to the same thing: rape
Made in the 2010s, in a different era of the craft
Drama built on stillness, twice over
Different title, same corner of the shelf
Tense science fiction in both cases
Drama built on grit, twice over
