Summary: Good Sci-Fi Horror
Review: Event Horizon, while overly gorish and irreverent (lets face it, down right satanic), is on of the best Sci-Fi Horror movies I've seen. Party because it's script deviates from the a-typical world of B-Rated Sci-Fi horror films. Throughout the movie there was intelligence and scientific fact (that are convieniently forgotten in other space Sci-Fi films) that made the setting feel futuristic, yet still down to earth and realistic. All in all, this is a good movie and I encourage any Sci-Fi or Horror buffs to pick it up.

Summary: A Surprising Well made Horror
Review: Event Horizon is a surprising well made movie. At first the movie seems to be a Science Fiction, but as the story progresses it becomes evident that the movie is actually a horror. It borrows alot of devices from other horror movies (The Shining for example). But this movie manages to land on good territory, with a very well written end. I suggest this movie to someone who wants a bit of scare.

Summary: Interesting
Review: this movie is nearly great. i enjoyed the effects alot as well as the sets. the characters overall are interesting, but a couple have some weak moments. the idea is overall interesting, yet i found myself drawn to a 80's disney movie called the black hole. which deals with some of the ideas that event horizen does. this movie i found suspenseful and entertaining. my only real complaint is not all that much is explained, it is left to the imagination which is good. but a little more information would have made it better for me. but out of all the sci-fi horrors of recent years this one has the feel of freshness to it. give it a watch.

Summary: A subsonic ride through intergalactic horror
Review: A deep research space vessel "Event Horizon" disappeared beyond Neptune. Seven years later it returns. A rescue team is sent out to rescue the crew but when they get on board the Event Horizon, they discover that the ship is alive, and capable of making their worst fears become reality. A very clever and spookey sci-fi horror flick with great sound and special effects. Loads of scary fun all the way. The DVD edition comes presented in widescreen view and contains the theatrical trailer. The picture quality is pretty good, but it should have come with more extra features.

Summary: A wild, unsettling ride.
Review: As is true of most of these space epics, this one must be seen in a theater to acieve its maximum impact. But it can be enjoyed on a television too. This movie has everything I'm looking for in a movie. Some have said it's kind of short on plot. This may be true, but a movie like this isn't really about the plot. It's all about atmosphere. And this movie has the darkest, most forboding atmosphere I've seen since Alfred Hitchcock's "Rebecca". This movie is, of course, on a totally different plane than "Rebecca", but I only mention it because of similar atmospheres. The acting is professional all around, and the characters, while interesting enough, remain somewhat undeveloped throughout. There's terrific suspense here too. I actually enjoyed the suspense leading up to the grand finale more than the finale itself, which was more of a horror-style cliche to me, albeit well-executed. The sets are strikingly gorgeous, and the overall look of the film is beyond excellent, conveying the mood like few other films have ever done. It's a suspense thriller as much as it is horror or sci-fi, and I recommend it highly for fans of any of those genres. Overall, a beautiful movie to watch.

Summary: Super Idea And Great Production But Only Good Execution
Review: I thought seeing this on DVD after already seeing it in the theater might be a bit of an anti-climax. Actually it hits just as hard and is just as scary. Overall a really great idea and clean mix of horror and sci-fi (not AT ALL campy or plastic). A very serious film. Unfortunately the plot and editing seem to work against each other and some stuff gets lost in the shuffle. For those who haven't seen this, I'll try not to ruin things but when a lead character starts to go Jack Nicholson on the audience there doesn't appear to be any clear reason or any hint of why this is happening. A side shot at this reasoning would have been a great plot addition. So expect a few holes but overall a solid set of performances, script execution and awesome effects. Watch this one at night with the speakers up! It's also a definite see and see again.

Summary: Scariest Movie I've ever seen
Review: Event Horizon is the perfect sci-fi horror movie. A must have for anyone with a decent home theatre system, it will scare the wits out of anybody with a heartbeat. Creepy soundtrack adds to a disturbing premise to create one scary vision of space exploration.

Summary: A Glimpse of Hell
Review: I saw this film in the theater at release and was stunned--It was the first time I had trouble sleeping because of a horror flick since I was 10. I think the problem with the film's acceptance was one of expectation; the gore content was minimized in the trailers and a lot of people were taken by surprise and repulsed (but nobody walked out). There is a riveting pace and atmosphere to this movie that keeps you from looking away in spite of the nausea in the pit of your stomach...the idea that there is a parallel universe just beyond reach of ours where true evil resides, and that technology exists that can open the doorway for you and I to experience the most grotesque torture and punishment imaginable at the hands of unspeakable beings, is frightening and played for all it is worth. The acting is superb all around, particularly Fishburne and Neil. Comparisons with Sphere are misplaced, which held my interest for at most by 45 minutes wnd was followed by sheer boredom. There is no comparison. If you want to experience true horror and have a grand preview of Hell, see Event Horizon. And remember, "'hell' is only a word--the reality is far, far worse!"

Summary: Easily one of the best horror films of the 1990's
Review: With so many strong elements, I hardly know where to begin. First of all there's the soundtrack, which provides a perfect counterpoint to the film while not overdoing it (The Crow II).Then there's the acting. Lawrence Fishburne once again shows his versatility and brilliance as an actor, and Sam Neill plays a convincing scientist, who, like Dr. Frankenstein before him, gets destroyed by his own creation. The rest of the cast was equally brillant.Third, there's the effects. The effects in this movie were so strong that it will probably look current 10 years from now. And if they seem a little gruesome, remember: It IS a horror movie.Finally, there's the storyline. This movie has a very strong plot supported by superb directing and screenwriting.Overall, a movie I heartily recommend seeing.
