Rating: Summary: I don't get scared by movies Review: But heres my suggestions: Don't watch at night. Don't watch before you go to bed. And don't watch by yourself. I made the mistake of doing all three, and I didn't sleep all night. A truly horrifying movie that messes with your head, and amazing actors. Of course my favorite is Jason Issacs (The Patriot) who is one of the grumpiest people I have ever seen in this film. Still, his performane, and his eyes, are riveting. Sam Neill is wonderful as Dr. Wier, and you will never guess at all the turns. Happy watching, but again, only in the daytime!
Rating: Summary: An flawed, trashy but a worth seeing Sci-Fi Thriller. Review: Years earlier, a man (Sam Neill), who created a State-Of-The-Art Interstellar Pioneering Research Vessel named Event Horizon. The Ship has disappear for Seven Years vanished without a Trace. Now the year is 2047, the Ship has been found. A Fearless Captain (Laurence Fishburne) and his elite crew (Kathleen Quinlan, Joely Richardson, Richard T. Jones, Jack Noseworthy, Jason Isaacs & Sean Pertwee) go on a Rescue Mission is launched to Neptune go get the ship back with them but as they go along with the Event Horizon has been Connected to the Black Hole and they are not ready to ensnare them in a New Dimension of Unimaginable Fear.Directed by Paul Anderson (Mortal Kombat, Resident Evil, Soldier) made a unusual Horror Thriller set in Space. The film is not entierly successful (it was a huge Box Office disappointment) but it does pays tribute to another films like The Black Hole, The Shining and another Horror/Supernatural/Sci-Fi Thrillers. The film has some Intense Horror Scenes (Which Paul Anderson has forced to cut out 20 Minutes to make this film an R-Rating). DVD has an terrific non-anamorphic Widescreen (2.35:1) transfer and an strong-Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound. Excellent Production Desings, Visual Effetcs & Make-Up Effects makes this a Must See. Neill is Terrific is this and so is the Cast. Panavision. Grade:A-.
Rating: Summary: Scary Review: I'm a big horror film fan. This is the only movie that ever really scared me.
Rating: Summary: A Great Sci-Fi Horror Flick Review: This is a great movie to add to any Sci-Fi collection. It probes those parts of your mind only science fiction can plus has the suspense and the "scary" unknown of any great horror flick. It quickly satisfies any late night urge for a Sci-Fi movie and leaves your mind in a state of utter chaos before heading to bed. It is fun to watch periodically to challenge your mind with some of the concepts they introduce and the way which the crew learns about them. If you are looking for a movie to quench the thirst for Space Adventuring with a twist, I would highly recommend this one! Have a nice day!
Rating: Summary: Wow............ Review: Ok I didn't give Event Horizon 5 stars because it was some great epic all time favorite like the Godfather, but in terms of the sci-fi/horror genre, this movie is tops. I am very hard to scare, and I have seen pretty much every horror film you can think of, but none of them really ever scare me. But Event Horizon really gets to me. For some reason it gets inside your head and totally just freaks you out. Not only did the movie have an engaging plot, but the acting was pretty well done, and the suspense was killer. The Scene in the vents where Dr. Weir is trying to fix the ship and his wife appears totally scared the hell out of me. Also, the message in latin. God, what a good movie.
Rating: Summary: Distrubing Movie! Review: This movie gave me nightmares. I know that sounds silly, but it really is true. That should tell you all you need to know about this movie. It is meant to be scary as hell, and it is. I can't really say that it is good as a Sci-Fi movie, but if you put it in the horror section, it really leads the pack. The movie is beautiful and really well done. Casting is perfect, and the story is engaging and well written. The way that the ship is posessed and drives people to do horrible things to themselves and each other is really the key to the horror component of the movie. The science part is good background, but is not too overpowering. This really is just a horror movie that takes place on a spaceship, but when the end is near, you will find yourself really hoping that the characters can get the hell off of that ship!
Rating: Summary: Very, VERY scary! Review: When I rented this movie a few years ago, I *thought* I was getting a good sci-fi adventure. What I got was sci-fi horror (and I am *not* a horror fan by any stretch of the imagination)! I didn't sleep much that night....
Rating: Summary: Good Flick Review: The eye candy in this movie was phenominal. As was the story line and cinematography. Some said the acting was sub-par, but it's a Sci-Fi movie. If you want fine acting, watch The Godfather or Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. The most intriguing part of the movie is when you find out where this ship has been and what it has seen. Pretty nutty stuff.
Rating: Summary: Great Sci Fi flick Review: How the reviewers and some of these nuckle head movie watchers give this movie a bad review is simply rediculous. Event Horizon has all the essential elements that make for a great sci fi thriller. This movie's plot in itself is intriguing and scary. The sequence of events leading up to the mystery dissapearance of the Event Horizon (the lost ship) is brilliantly done in the way it gives the viewer creepy little hints about the ships disspearance and the crew members that were aboard at that time. This Movies concept of this ship going through a man made black hole which lead it into a real Hell is enough to scare me whereas I dont typically get scared from horror flicks. This movie raises interesting questions about the possiblity that a real Hell exists out in the Universe which is something that our science cannot refute since our technology has not explored the far reaches of the universe. If your a person that has any type of perspective, you will definantly enjoy this film. If your a person that needs to shut off thier brain during a movie, go watch "Blade" or "Resident Evil" and enjoy that mindless violence although this movie isn't to far off from displaying that amount of Gore.
Rating: Summary: Open the black hole and throw this movie in it... Review: A worthless piece of drek that had a intertesting premis or two that were totally wasted. When I stumble across movies like this I always wonder how hungry the pinciple players were and how the producers ever managed to get funding. It's a terrible combo/[imitaton] of "Alien" and "Hellraisers". Don't waste your time, electricity or wear and tear on your VCR or DVD player.
