Summary: Mixed feelings for a mixed movie.
Review: The first hour is mostly harmless. There is minimal blood and violence, some pleasingly creepy atmosphere, a suspenseful plot that is building up to something good, and the actors are all doing their jobs nicely.So, what happened during the last half hour? It's like the director just decided he wanted to give up. Or, even more likely, he was just playing a prank to keep you watching so that he could throw out some terrible things at you. The plot, as you can read elsewhere, is simple and intriguing. A crew investigates a seemingly abandoned space ship and weird stuff happens. There ya go. Serviceable and interesting. And it almost works. "Event Horizon" is a movie that has a large potential and then wastes it by taking the best elements and debasing them. The characters explore the Event Horizon and begin to have hallucinations (Or do they...?). The is-it-real-or-is-it-imaginary theme is played up nicely and sustains a suspenseful mood for awhile. This is especially effective against a science-fiction backdrop which relies on plausible (Albeit outlandish) ideas. And then, out of nowhere, the movie decides to ruin this fun mood by giving the characters weak motivations and debunking the mysteries with subpar explanations. It's like asking your Physics professor to explain gravity and having him tell you, "It's magic." And then the gore kicks in. Which is really just there to push the limit. Needlessly. The good news is, the special effects are good, the acting is mostly good, and at least one hour of the movie is worth watching. The bad news is, the action is kind of weak, the script wears thin by the end, and the violence is just pornographic in nature. VIOLENT CONTENT - Lots of it. There are a few graphic scenes of people's eyes being pulled out or otherwise mutilated. There are a few scenes of people whose eyes have already been pulled out. There is an unnecessarily graphic video that runs for about twenty or thirty seconds depicting a series of brutal tortures / mutilations of the crew of the Event Horizon (Involving decapitation of pretty much every part of the human body). There is a graphic scene of a live human dissection. A child's legs are eviscerated. There are quick flashes of miscellaneous gore involving spikes and blades and other pointy metal things... Should I go on? (Special note - Most of the gore is preceded by a line like, "Do you see?" or "I want to show you this" or "I have something to show you" or "You should see this." If you do not wish to be grossed out by lots and lots of blood, then turn away any time you hear a phrase even remotely like any of the preceding few.) LANGUAGE CONTENT - It is an R-rated movie, so there's an abundance of those beloved four-letter words. The total count, though, is sure to come in considerably low when compared to many other films. NUDITY / SEXUAL CONTENT - There is one scene where Dr. Weir has a hallucination of his wife committing suicide. She is nude during this scene. There are a few scenes of men and women in their underwear, but these are pretty harmless.

Summary: A great treat for sci-fi and horror fans!
Review: Among the many people who loved Event Horizon, I cannot understand why critics decided to trash this film so much. The idea behind Even Horizon is brilliant and although the film could have been better it definitely did not disappoint. As far as a horror movie goes it did its job just too well, I couldn't sleep at night and my mother, who was unfortunate enough to watch it with me, didn't sleep well either. Event Horizon incorporated many unanswered questions in the realm of space and time and converted them into a vehicle of delivering something extremely terrifying. As we all know, nobody will hear you scream in deep space. At the same time I think that two main characters were played very well. I especially admired Laurence Fishburne, this man has a great talent and ability to portray a strong leader. We have seen it here and we have seen it in the Matrix. Fishburne shines in both. All in all, I strongly recommend Even Horizon to those who truly want to be scared. Whether you will like this movie or not I cannot predict, but I know that it will scare you for sure.

Summary: not as scary or compelling as it thinks it is.
Review: Not a bad story, but I felt the ending wasn't as strong as it could have been. I mean, it's a tall order when you're told (and I'm paraphrasing) "I'm going to show you hell", so at that point, I was curious how the film was going to show me. And I thought, "ooh, they're trying real hard to scare me" rather than "wow, I'm actually scared"! Nice try, though.

Summary: IS POSSIBLE (theoreticaly)
Review: Before I review dis movie, i would like to say the special features on the DVD [STINK] BIG TIME. But, I LIKE the movie SO MUCH...i bought it anyway. I don't know why critics didn't like it. Maybe because it sacrificies the mood IN THE END for the visceral stuuf, but that makes it more disturbing altogether. Or, maybe because it "borrows" themes from solaris, alien, and the shining, but not really. This is an underapprechiated TERRRIFING horror, with the creepiest acting from Sam Neil ever and Arguably the coolest role for Mr. Fishburn . THE MOST INTRISTING thing i noticed was after the movie I looked up on black holes, and THEORETICALLY THE "HELL" DIMENSION IS POSSIBLE! Black holes MAY be gate ways to other demensions and such, also THEORETICALY could allow time travel. Why think of what happens in a black hole. Although a white hole, a opposite of black hole, has never been found, this could happen. Type EVENT HORIZON (neame of a part in a black hole) on google and it will lead you to some sights about this.
But i just like de movie.

Summary: Perfect Plot, Horrible Ending
Review: I liked this movie a lot. In fact I liked it more that critically acclaimed horror movies like The Ring, Exorcist or Titanic. The Event Horizon, a high-tech spaceship has been found after it disappeared inexplicably years ago. A team led by Laurence Fishbrune is sent to investigate it. Once abroad the team is haunted by all sorts of spooky stuff and some of them go nuts. The brilliant premise for it was that the spaceship had turned into a kind of living entity which evolved a of self defence mechanism (kind of like in Sphere) which capitalised on the fears of the crew. However, the whole movie is spoiled by some sh*t about it being an incarnation of hell (oooh!!!). On the spook/scare value I found this movie to be much better that Alien (which is very much overrated). So don't give a forget about what stupid critics have to say about the character development and stuff like prolonged silences and go watch this immensely enjoyable horror movie.

Summary: Event Horizon
Review: Event Horizon plays itself off as a kind of high budget B horror film, (even the ad campaign had this "B-Movie" look to it) and if taken for that, and only that, it is a great film on its own terms. Sure, it "borrows" elements from several genres, if not directly from other films, and the plot has a couple of potholes here and there, but ultimetly Event Horizon succeeds in delivering a hair rising good time, even if its flaws become apparent on seubsequent viewings.
The atmospheric "haunted house in space" look provides subtle, creepy aesthetics that unfortunately are at odds with several scenes of, at times almost (but not quite) laughable graphic violence.
The music and sound is effective, but forgetable. All the performances are perfect for the film they're presented in, with only the comic relief of Cooper becoming annoying and innapropriate at certain points. Unfortunetly, a couple of would-be scary scenes are ruined by badly implemented computer effects (a trick that has thankfully been proven not work in horror films), but that is not to say the movie is without merit.
Event Horizon uses the trick of "flash" images of disturbing scenes to play psychological effects on the viewer, and many first time viewers came out of this movie incredibly spooked.

Summary: Best horror in space...yay! its not Jason X!!!!!
Review: This movie (though not the best horror movie) kicked so much butt! A lot of people complain at how gory it is. In reality there are but a few select scenes with really any gore in it. Although there can be quite a lot of it in those few scenes. There were some very creepy scenes; such as when the crew discovers the footage of what happened to Event Horizon's original crew and the infamous scene where he rips his eyes out while "hallucinating(?)" his wife's sucicde. Some really creepy stuff. Although some of it may be cliched...its still a fun ride. Sam Neil was superb as a villain (or was he really a villian...when did he turn?) Great movie!

Summary: Event Horizon
Review: The plot is an amalgam of so many others such as Hellraiser, Alien, and Solaris. The acting is marginal at best, and the score is pretty cliched. However, I still enjoyed this movie for what it is: a pulp horror story. On that level, it works. Just don't expect anything deep or even clever.
