Summary: A completely frightening thrill ride.
Review: An S.O.S. message from the Event Horizon, a spacecraft that disappeared for 7 years, leads to a rescue mission led by Laurence Fishburne and the Horizon's designer (Sam Neill). But what they soon discover is that wherever the ship went, it brought something back with it. Supremely underrated sci-fi/horror film is one of the most frightening and thrilling "haunted house" rides ever. Mixes many plot elements from The Shining and Hellraiser, but is far superior to either film. Lots and lots of gore ensure this won't be for the squeamish. Great build-up to the climax, which is absolutely heart-pounding and bone-chilling. There's a reason why this film has achieved a cult status so quickly. Features a good cast with the standouts being Neill and Sean Pertwee as a truly scared pilot.
**** 1/2 out of *****

Summary: Great Movie but bad DVD
Review: I was dissapointed in the DVD. I loved the movie but dont like the DVD. Image quality was not prestine but grany. Maybe to much detail in the effects etc. I would recommend renting it first to see if quality is up to the standards that you would like.

Summary: Very disturbing, very much fun indeed
Review: I'll get straight to the point, this movie was quite disturbing. I'm not a fan very violent movies (like splatters and such), and although this WAS a pretty gory movie, i enjoyed it. I had heard some good things about this movie, although it came straight to video (haha) in my country (Finland).It was really creepy all through the film and has THE creepiest and most disturbing scene in history, which is of course when the crew see the video log of the Event Horizon. That's some freaky ...There's some stuff that I never thought seeing in a movie that isn't a splatter. If you like the "Alien" movies and sci-fi/horror movies, i think you would like Event Horizon. But as you can see, this film divides the audience into two groups: those who hate it so much they could kill the makers of this film, and the ones who truly love it. Count me in on the latter group.

Summary: Atmosphere
Review: Upon its release in 1997, this movie received a lot of guff from the I-can-speak-Klingon crowd who went expecting sheer regurgitated "noble space pilot encounters antagonistic aliens." Personally, I rejoice at their disappointment and contempt signalling to me that a precedent had been set. A movie set in deep space had been made and it is beyond worth watching, its encouraged! All of the mystery of deep space is caked with the ominous atmosphere of horror in this puppy. When its not creeping you out with blood curdling recordings and "what's just up the bend," its cheap-shot, quick-hand-on-the- shoulder time. This one constantly has you anerved, squirming, and glued to the TV at least the first time you see it. Of course there are certain lines that will make you yawn, or punish you just for hearing them- most of them being from our hero Lawrence, or his little rescue technician - aka unwanted, unnecessary comic relief. But it takes a little from this gem. Honestly, the first half is a bit better than the last, but you WILL watch it all of the way through.

Summary: Event Horizon
Review: When I first saw previews for this movie I didn't think I was going to like it. So I didn't even bother attemting to see it. I was taking to one of my friends about movies and since she knows what kind of movies I like to watch she told me about this movie. I honestly jumped out of my seat on a couple parts of the movie. The special effects are great & they casted great people for the leads. I'm really glad that I watched this movies. It's now one of my top favorite movies to watch.

Summary: Outer Space Thrill
Review: A journay into the unknown is allways fantastic, but not allways as thrilling as in Event Horizon, with a lot of good acting, decent thrill, nice background story and superb fx and sound.

Summary: Intriguing Plot, but the gore ruins all the positive values.
Review: At first, I was watching this movie and believed it to be very intriguing and interesting until the unnecessary gore arrived. The theoretical space travel of the Event Horizon was interesting, the suspense was brilliant, but when the horror is revealed it is beyond entertaining; it's just plain sick and demented. Frankly, I either close my eyes or fast forward through the parts of the movie when "hell is seen" (people being torn apart, explicit blood and internal organs exposed in a horrific manner).
In actuality, this film should have been rated NC-17 or X for the amount of gore and bloodshed. Laurence Fishburne is brilliant as well as Sam Neil as both actors add the edge to the films positive side. In my opinion, one does not need to be horrified with the display of devilish insignia or excessive gore, all one needs to be horrified is well drawn out suspense that involves, but is not limited to: not showing the feared thing/object, adding unexpected scares throughout the film, and finishing off with an intriguing plot. If you like bloodshed and excessive gore combined with Fishburne and Neil and not much else then by all means this movie just might be for you. But if you are one who does likes classic suspense driven plots with average amounts of gore at necessary times then this film is definitely not for you.

Summary: Great sci-fi, plus a great story
Review: What can I say? I have been a fan of any sci-fi, but especially sci-fi/horror for a long time. Event Horizon was one of the best sci-fi films I have seen, and on top of that it had a story that wouldn't even let me get up to go to the bathroom. Amazing special effects, good actors, and a thundering, ominous soundtrack set the mood for an awesome movie. Go see it. Now.

Summary: Nice cast, shame about the movie
Review: Event Horizon starts promisingly enough but when it 'gets going' it certainly goes downhill. A strong cast is largely waisted with zero character development and a second half that trys to scare but just makes you feel sick. The performances are strong enough with Pertwee in particular rating a mention as the laconic Smith (this is actually a fine performance from a very talented actor with limited material), but little is done with them. Fishburne sets his impressive jaw, Quinlan runs around like a wet blanket, the pointless jive-talking black guy character (usually the first to cop it in such a flick) spends most of his time pissing around in outer space, and all the time the movie is turning into a gin show. Pertwee earns my star, whilst everyone and everything else about this movie just pissed me off.
