Event Horizon

"The sci-fi horror film starring Laurence Fishburne and Sam Neill is pulse- pounding. Once the action begins, it doesn't stop until the last scene. The plot surrounds the theory that the crew of the event horizon actually contacts the evil parallel universe that holds all the darker parts of their themselves. The crew is terrorized in an unbelievable way throughout the remainder of the film. "

"A haunted house in space, worth watching to see what comes bump in the night!"

"Gratifyingly nasty, brutish, & short. It sucks that nearly 30 mins of gore footage had gone missing and unable to be incorporated into a director’s cut. It’s probably the best lit and designed of the late-90s studio sci-fi ensembles, and easily the most aggressively freaky- all hail eyeless Sam Neill. Worth several viewings."

"Not so much anymore, but when I saw it the very first time, it was impossible to walk down a dark hallway without my heart rate and blood pressure elevating. "

"Yooooo this movie is sick af. This is some well-done scary sci-fi sh*t. Really cool, definitely entertaining"

"A very terrifying Space/Horror movie, Nice setting for a horror movie. Crazy effects throughout the movie, well casted and good dialogue through the whole movie. Some scenes of explicit gore and violence, my 2nd viewing of this and as terrifying as ever. Good scares if that's what you're looking for."

"Will never understand how this movie is beloved by so many when the high praise doesn't match the movie. Of course, the plug by Family Guy did help that domino effect to like this overrated movie. "

"Doesn’t get enough credit for how truly terrifying it is. "

"I rate this movie too highly, because I personally enjoy it despite its glaring flaws. It is always delightful to see Sam Neil play creepy roles, a side of his acting it took me a while to appreciate since my first introduction to his acting was in Jurassic Park when I was a child. Sam Neil can chew up the scenery no matter who he's acting with. However, this is movie that seems to suffer from not knowing what kind of movie it wants to be. Lovecraftian and Hellraiser-like in one moment, then having baffling writing decisions like having a side character who seems ripped straight from a cheesy action movie and scenarios that don't seem to fit with the rules the movie has established. One of the surviving characters is someone we barely spent any time with, and we have no investment in his story arc. I think it would have been a better movie minus that character, and had it end with everyone dying, but I still have fun with this movie despite the flaws. Maybe it came out at a time when I was still into edgy comic books like Spawn and Punisher, with more aesthetic edge than substance at times, but there is a deeper story in there somewhere. I would love to see this remade by a better director, but this is still one of my guilty pleasures. "

"Creates a lot of questions about the universe and what is out there. This is a good cosmic horror classic."
