The Mist.
Not movies, but Rifters series, Blindsight and Echopraxia by Peter Watts; and Killing Star by Zebrowski and Pellegrino. These will never become movies or TV, they're just too nihilistic and have some extremely heavy themes. Watts especially does not shy away from describing and closely analyzing the psyche of some truly horrible characters in Rifters series.
The Rifters trilogy and Blindsight are also free to download on the authors website. Easily worth taking a look for anyone who enjoys dark themes in their scifi.
blindsight is amazing
