An ending only works when everything before it sets it up. Every sci-fi pick here was chosen for alone on a rainy night because the final act lands. Specifically from the 2010s - go in without reading anything about them. That's the only way to get the full effect.
Good sci-fi stays with you. These will. A rainy night alone is one of the few genuinely good reasons to watch something properly. The 2010s produced more quietly excellent films than the decade gets credit for. These are some of them. More lists by genre, mood, and occasion at Moviepiq.
