Including any movies, video games, books, anime, etc. What’s your favorite cyberpunk horror?

I’m thinking maybe movies like Hardware or video games like Observer, BloodNet, or maybe System Shock. I should admit I haven’t seen any of the weird body horror japanese cyberpunk like Tetsuo: The Iron Man though.

What else? Is Videodrome considered cyberpunk?

    I can’t believe I forgot this one, but Morgan was an awesome little quietly-cyberpunk sci-fi horror thing, which turned out to be much more cyberpunk in concepts at least, as it got towards the end. It doesn’t go for the aesthetics, but the plot and concepts make it, I think. Is ‘Fridge Cyberpunk’ a thing? The more you think about it the more cyberpunk it gets? I haven’t seen it in a few years but I’m definitely going to watch it again now.

    Also, Alien/Aliens has to count right? Lots of cyberpunk stuff takes place in space, but Aliens is one of the few to go as far into space as they did. Still, they’ve got a lot of the elements, from the evil corporation who treats their employees like replaceable investments, to people explicitly manufactured and owned by those corporations. Aesthetically they set the standard for a lot of the used future technologies stuff too.
