10 Best Sci-Fi Horror Shows Ever Made
4. Black Mirror
Though Black Mirror isn't pure sci-fi horror, the stories that fit into this category tend to leave the biggest impression.
Charlie Brooker's soul-crushing satire has tackled many aspects of modern society, including VR, reality television, deepfakes, and AI, highlighting how emerging ideas and inventions can be re-purposed for deplorable reasons.
Though these issues have been done to death, Black Mirror rises above its peers since it highlights how technology influences the masses rather than the tech itself. Since the show kicked off back in 2011, certain episodes that emphasise celebrity worship, cancel culture, trolling, technology addiction, and mob justice seem weirdly prophetic.
Even when the dark anthology isn't conventionally scary, the way it explores the sinister side of humanity should leave anyone rattled for days. (The White Christmas special isn't horror, but it might as well be.)
The few episodes that have a happy ending like USS Callister and Black Museum are still freaky since they demonstrate how easily technology can tap into and amplify the cruellest side of humanity.
Despite the fact Black Mirror is deemed science fiction, it bleeds closer to reality every passing day.
