Pandorum is an American / German sci-fi/horror film starring Dennis Quaid and Ben Foster that looks dark and scary in a Teutonic sort of way.
Two astronauts wake to find themselves drifting through space 500 million miles from Earth and with no memory of what has happened to the crew of a sleeper ship transporting 60,000 passengers.Exploring the spacecraft, they encounter several other surviving crew members and the astronauts start to learn that a terrible event has occurred on board which might have affected the survival of the entire human race. They discover other human crew members running from monsters that they learn are some of the crew who have mutated from genetic enhancements that were supposed to help them adapt to their eventual new world but ended up mutating and adapting to the spacecraft environment. They also learn that some crew members also suffer from a psychosis - a severe psychological condition called Pandorum - which was brought about by being in deep-space for extended periods.
