Event Horizon

Just awesome, one of my favourite movies, and HIGHLY underrated! Despite liking horrors, I don't find many of them scary, but this one was sssscary man! It probably didn't help that the first time I saw it, I was a little high. Had no idea what it was about going in to watch at the cimema, but was the only decent movie on at the time. Like chiew said, gave me the heeby jeebies and then some!

If you like your horrors a little less graphic, and a little more physiological, give this a whirl... but preferable NOT while you are high, although it's just as scary sober, as I've found after watching it several times since, something I rarely do with any movie.

Best SciFi horror yet

Sometimes it happens: you watch the trailer, read what it's about, the music hits... and you just know that movie is going to stay with you forever. That’s what happened to me with Event Horizon, one of those experiences that leave a mark. Horror, science fiction, a suffocating atmosphere, and a soundtrack that still gives me chills. I saw it in the summer of '98 and since then, it’s been fixed in my top 5 favorite films of all time.

The premise was already powerful: a ship that reappears years after going missing in a remote point of space... and it's brought something back. What seemed like a rescue mission quickly turns into a space nightmare where logic crumbles and horror seeps in little by little. It doesn't rely on gooey monsters or cheap jump scares — here, the fear is more psychological, more suffocating, darker.

Sure, the final stretch may be a bit more flashy, and some narrative decisions might not age perfectly. But I don’t care. Because few films have achieved that addictive mix of science fiction and pure horror — that descent into mental hell with an unforgettable techno-gothic aesthetic. The images stay with you, the screams too, and the unease... even more so.

What Event Horizon accomplishes —despite its detractors— is to create its own universe, one where plausibility doesn’t matter as much as what it makes you feel. And for me, that’s worth more than a thousand special effects. A truly cursed gem.

It's just awesome, gory, violent, suspense, everything you need for a late night lone watching at 2am.

Fantastic Space-Horror! One of the few good ones.

One of few films to give me the heeby jeebies.

A lot of people really hate this movie but I kind of liked it.

Best unofficial WArhammer 40k prequel that's ever been made.

This movie is a cult classic and for some reason highly underrated. The first half is definitely better than the second half but still quite entertaining. I love the dark and gritty visual style of the movie and the cast isn‘t bad too.

I heard that much of this film cut before release, I would have been very interested to see what that version would have been like. Either way, a great film as it stands.
