It's Nightflyers (1987).
Website Techtimes seems to agree with your comment.

Combine the space-horror of Alien with the homicidal computer of 2001: A Space Odyssey and you have Martin's Nightflyers, one of his more popular pieces of fiction. Nine academics embark on an expedition aboard the Nightflyer to find the truth about a mysterious alien creature, only for the crew to begin meeting their end one by one in some truly horrific ways. Not helping matters is the ship's "captain," who is never seen and doesn't seem too concerned for their well-being. This story was adapted into a feature film back in 1987, but the tension and atmosphere crafted by Martin is far superior to the version of the story that appeared on the silver screen. -

Long shot, but might be 'Nightflyers' (1987)?

That's the one. I might just do that. I kept mixing up this title with The Night Flier (1997), the Stephen King's vampire horror mystery with the late Twin Peaks/Robocop's Miguel Ferrer. Anyways, thanks a bunch.
