"Empty Town" type of horror ->recommendations
 
Hello horror movie lovers :)

Do you know/can recommend any horror movies (not asian) which are similar to Silent Hill (2006) or Phantoms (1998) or Virus (1999), where small group of people come to empty town/space station/underwater station/some big object and there are no other people and they try to uncover where all the residents have gone (hope you know what I mean). Like in older survival horror games, main point at the end of movie is to escape dead city/station/etc or something similar. And please no "Saw"/"Texas Massacre" type of movies. Those are not scary just plain gore... I want something sci-fi/mystery from 1985-present

Thanks in advance :)

Sorry for my poor english (which isn't my first language).

Thank you for all your replies :)

I've already seen:
John Carpenter's The Thing, <- great movie, crazy fx :)
Event Horizon, <- very good sci-fi in this "empty town" category
Sphere, <- also good movie
House of Wax. <- this one is kinda different, but still was fun to watch

UPDATE:
Now gonna search for Funhause dvd to rent (I hope you were talking about 1981 version though)
The Devil's Rain is a lil bit too old movie for me, it's from 70s...

Thanks :) If there are any more recommendations - I'm listening :)

I know, but I just don't like movies older than from 1980... I think that best sci-fi horror movies were created between 1990 and 2000
