Summary: Amazing
Review: I don't know why so many of you disliked this movie. It's cast and themes covered up any plot holes easily. The effects were amazing, there was more gore than a freddy film and you couldn't have asked for better acting.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Award - Worst movie I've ever seen
Review: Big disappointment for sci-fi fans. Plot holes in an already weak plot insult viewers over the age of 10.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent excellent movie
Review: This has an excellent mix of sci-fi and horror. The soundtrack was enjoyable and creepy. The reason this film was not well excepted is because they did not know what to expect. It is not Alien not wimpy Star Wars or Hellraiser. It is in the middle of them. Not to mention people have trouble with things that explore evil as well as this film. It is an excellent idea! What if hell were a place you could actually go and that is what is in the dephs of space. NOT FOR THE EASILY DISTURBED!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: A Bloody Mess
Review: I do not get grossed out easily, but I concur with one review I read about this movie, calling it "a bloody mess." For a while after we saw this movie, we called it "Eyeless Sockets" because of its strange propensity toward showing people with their eyes gouged out, just walking around, acting as if nothing had happened. To me, the movie Sphere was everything I hoped this movie would be, and wasn't. If you want something sci-fi, suspenseful, and mysterious, see Sphere instead.

Event Horizon has great special effects, but the premise is bad, the story is bad, and the whole film is just kind of nauseating, disturbing, and somehow, tedious at the end.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Would not recommend to anyone
Review: While I thought at first this movie had a good science fiction premise, I quickly found that this movie sunk into a "Nightmare on Elmstreet" meets "Hellraiser" type of material. The enemy force at work I took to be Satanistic in nature, and I definitely would have shied away from this movie if I had known about it. I think the main problem with this movie is that it just kept sinking lower and lower into a bleak oblivion. You have to have up beat and down beats once and awhile. But the movie didn't have that. It reminded me a lot of "Dead Ringers" (which is THE worst movie I've seen) where the main character just continuously sinks into a twisted world of madness and depression for basically the last two acts. I felt that the promotion of the movie should have been more honest about the nature of it. Instead, the trailer shows the science fiction premise of scientists finding a ship that has become alive somehow. But it is really about how this ship encountered an evil force beyond comprehension that ends up possessing one of the main characters. If you want to make a horror movie, fine, make one but tell people that it is a horror movie. This movie has little to do with science fiction and more to do with promoting some sick Satanistic vision. There was one good scene in the movie: where a character gets stuck out in space for a few seconds. I don't remember any movie tackling a scene like this, and I thought it was handled very well in that it was realistic and gripping. But for that one good scene, there were too many bad ones that simply relied on gore and shock value, which in turn created too many down beats, especially in the second and third acts.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Alien meets Hellraiser
Review: I saw this film two years ago and still sometimes think about it. That's what makes it a good horror movie to me - and don't be fooled - this is 90% horror and 10% science fiction. The ambience is very dark and threatening, and not spoiled at all by the (I have to admit very gory) violence. The only weak point is the lack of a sound explanation at the conclusion, but then again, maybe that's what makes me think about this movie from time to time. As Brecht says: "The curtain drops and all the questions are left unanswered."

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This movie kicks *ss! Lotsa' blood and creepiness!
Review: If Clive Barker had made 2001: a space odyssey, it'd be somethin' like this. Start with 'the ship is alive' idea, but imagine it's a creepy, evil ship. Now imagine it has the power of a black hole. A 'Must See' for those who like Horror movies set in space. Best since Aliens.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Very scary..."The Shining" in space...
Review: I will start off by saying that this is the only horror movie I have ever seen (including Blair Witch) which has resulted in recurring nightmares for me. THAT's what you want from a great horror movie! I thought it was great!

It is a little too gory, but it is the psychological aspects that cause the true terror. The special effects are also top-notch.

The only reason I do not give it 5 stars is that it is a bit too gory and I would have liked the ending to be a bit lest ambiguous.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Very scary !
Review: Just one thing, buy it and open your mind, you'll be scared to death, i watch it 3 times and i want to watch it again and again!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the scariest movies ever!
Review: Event Horizon is one of the scariest movies I have ever seen, as long as you have the sound cranking. So buy it and TURN IT UP! And make sure the lights are off!
