Agreed this one is a corker. It is one of those too little known gems of SF; another is Moon. It feels in this movie as if they are being stalked by the sun, whose presence becomes more ominous as the ship gets closer. They spend the entire movie moving towards the horror, not away from it, and e watch their sanity disintegrates in the process. I should rewatch it.
There's an interesting SF novel: The Flight of the Aphrodite, with the same trajectory and dynamics, only with Jupiter and its off-the-charts, deadly magnetic field playing the role of the Sun.
