A ship called the Event Horizon disappeared somewhere around Neptune, it was considered one of the worst intergalactic disasters ever. Now, 7 years later, the Event Horizon has re-appeared in the same spot near Neptune for reasons unknown. Now it is up to Captain Miller (Lawrence Fishburne) and his elite, deep space search and rescue team and Dr. William Weir (Sam Neill) the Event Horizon’s creator to investigate the Event Horizon’s re-appearance, rescue any surviving crew members and bring the Horizon back home.

Event Horizon is, in my humble opinion, the best space, sci-fi, horror flick since Alien. It delivers the goods on all fronts and in spades. There’s tons of gore, suspense, action, good use of CGI and downright creepy shit from start to finish.

The all-star cast does a wonderful job, and Sam Neill seems to reprise his role from In the Mouth of Madness (he does freakin’ insane REALLY well.) Fishburne also does a great job playing the ship’s oh so serious, pull no punches Captain (He must’ve studied under David Caruso for this role.)

If sci-fi horror is your gig, and you haven’t seen Event Horizon yet, you owe it to yourself to grab a copy, you won’t be disappointed.

9 out of 10 quickly flashed hellish gore scenes that when watched in slow-mo or stepped through garner some of the goriest EFX ever!

I hate the fact that I sat and watched this movie. Not because the acting is bad, the story was week or the plot left you without answers. Not even because this is a bad movie. This movie put fear in my heart like i had never felt before! For the first time while watching a horror movie I found I had to reassure myself it was all fake and only a movie.

It starts out very nice, with a very realistic opening space sequence and transition to Sam Neil. After a little back round info to what is happening and why they are taking the trip far into space. It is one hiding your eyes feeling like an idiot scare. The overall story seems like something that has been done before, ie Hellraiser in space, but the ideas of the travel and how its done is new to me.

The ship they are trying to find goes where no mind should ever think about, the story slowly brings the idea about of where it went and came back from perfectly. Giving just enough to keep you glued to what ever it is your sitting on. Then when the idea is fully brought around, it is just two crew members sitting in a small space talking about why it is not possible it went there.

This movie freaks the shit outta me, every time i think about it. Long review, I know, but the scare value in this film (if you let your mind get into it) is far worse then any other movie.
To me that is.
