Man Snowpiercer season 4… Yeah it’s a tough one to love but I still thank that the whole series got finished even if they basically lost all the budget and even the good cinematographer by the end there. I even liked the story still, especially since it manages to make each season match the books in a way that feels like someone loving Snowpiercer the concept as well.
Scavenger’s Reign really managed to make everything feel, ALIEN and that was really cool. The closest you will find will likely be animes and there are a few that come to mind.
Snowpiercer season 4 reportedly had a lot of rewrites and reshoots. They tried to cram too much story into it and that makes it fall apart. The eternally running train even stopped moving, was in the shop, and became more of a commuter train than the last island of civilization. That not only changed the setting, but removed the train as the mystical entity and hero machine.
The setting and concept is really good as the constant movement and thin walls protecting from the deadly cold empathizes the peril of existence, compared to a show like Silo, situated in a fixed concrete bunker. I wouldn’t be surprised if we get another show taking a stab at it. They can even use a different train like Ice Breaker from the comics to tell a similar story.
The movies Annihilation and Stalker have some similarities with Scavenger’s reign as the preset a really weird environment.
Oh if you didn’t read the graphic novels that would feel confusing but the train as a mystical entity was crushed by the like 2nd book when they make it so there are literally like a dozen of them and the 4th book was called Terminus and is about what a group surviving in a static base would be like. It’s supposed to become more about the drive of humanity to survive without turning into monsters themselves.
But agreed that snowpiercer is awesome as a mechanic to immediately get you onboard with the world being difficult and dangerous to shake. And that more people will likely make stabs at the concept. I am even down for just an original take on something similar.
And Annihilation is amazing and absolutely that alien feeling I was also gonna say Made in Abyss.
