Hi, I remember seeing a really scary horror movie back when I was very young.

First of all, this isn't "Virus" or John Carpenter's "The Thing"

It's set in a large space ship/station where there's this invisible/semi-invisible "thing" onboard (vague memories point to a "russian/soviet probe" or a creature that was found by a "russian/soviet probe") that attacks and takes the form of people. It transforms into them and deforms them. I believe it was partly cyborg but I am not sure.

There was also a scene with a small dog getting inside a tight space and the owner got into the space to retrieve the animal, but then the creature in the form of a mauled head popped upside down from the ceiling (owner escaped momentarily).

I also remember a scene in which some people survived because they stood still while the cyborg/thing/creature walked in front of them.

The creature could've been equipped with lasers, but I am not sure.

If you can give me a hint/clue to the name, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

I've seen all Alien movies a lot of times and it's definitely not Alien. I'm currently looking at IMDb at Star Crystal and it's not it, especially not with that low score. It was a good movie not one with a score of 2.0. I just hope fissuretriker or mexicangordo remember it :P

Hrm, pretty sure it's got to be Virus: "In this fast-paced, sci-fi/horror shoot-'em-up based on the Dark Horse comic book, Jamie Lee Curtis plays the navigator of an ocean-going tug. When a typhoon cripples their boat, the crew sails into the eye of the storm, where they discover a high-tech Russian communications and research vessel adrift. Only one Russian crewmember is still alive, raving about "intelligent lightning." They soon discover that an alien life form has taken over the ship's computers and is churning out biomechanical warriors. With their own boat destroyed, the crew must battle the creature as the ship reenters the storm. If the basic story and characters all sound familiar, it may not surprise you that producer Gale Anne Hurd's other films include The Terminator and Aliens. This movie and its derivative screenplay aren't nearly as good as those were, and director John Bruno (who won an Oscar for best visual effects for The Abyss) seems more skilled at action choreography and special effects than character and story. Curtis plays another variation on her "scream queen" persona, while Donald Sutherland gives a deliciously hammy performance as the tug captain (in his words, "the dominant life form") who smells salvage money if he can claim the Russian ship for his own."

I think we concluded it was Star Crystal or The Hunt for Red October. Then again, it could be Alien.

It's not Star Crystal and it's not Alien. I've seen Virus and it's definitely not it. Also, it's not Hunt for Red October, this is horror, not a Sean Connery movie :P Also, it's not Event Horizon, seen it as well, it's close but no cigar.

IMDB : A slimy, tentacled creature boards a spacecraft and quickly dispatches half of the crew before discovering religion and realizing that killing is wrong. There was no 'slimy, tentacled' creature in the movie I'm looking for. It was partly cyborg, partly deformed human. Also at first it's invisible/semi-invisible I believe.

Wow, definitely not, as I stated above, it's in a space ship/station with deep dark atmosphere and a creature that kills and transforms into their victims, also being partly cyborg.
