ThiefHott Too much of everything

SpunkySelfTwitter It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

kevl-453 Watched this when it was released, got it on bluray, watched it today. Is it perfect, no. Is it starting to show it's age, yup Is it one of the best space horror films, yup. Give it another go, it's awesome

sacratez Great movie and outstanding acting. There are areas that you will be immersed in and then left wondering what happened with a previous portion of the set that wasn't there before. But yeah, definitely worth the watch. This makes my 3rd time watching. Be safe Papa Bear.

edwardgamper-0-128609 This movie is incredibly atmospheric with stunning physical sets (including the mind blowing engine of the ship). Lighting is awesome, it looks great, mindblowing soundtrack by Michael Kamen (Lethal Weapon, Die Hard) and an absolutely stellar cast including pre-Matrix but very Morpheus-esque Lawrence Fishburne, Jason Isaacs (Yep Malfoy) and Sam Jurassic Park Neill (being all English and awesome).The film is a simple search and recover missing spaceship except it's a creepy missing spaceship capable of interdimensional travel - as so brilliantly explained in the classic scene where Sam Neil does physics with pencil and Sean Pertwee's nudie mag.This film may borrow from the greats like Alien, but it borrows well, and the more recent Danny Boyle film Sunshine is more than a nod to this cult classic.Yes there are some outlandish moment and silly ones, but it does a huge amount of excellent world building from the offset that means you're very willing to except what's happening. This film plays to all out primal fears of space and psychological demons as well as real ones and had gets in your head as much as makes you jump. This film holds up in 2018 with only a handful of shots looking dated. Some CGI zero gravity oil looks a bit rubbish today, but the sparing use of computer effects mixed with startling physical effects means you're rarely bothered by the fleeting dated moments.There are a few grim but exceptionally brief shots that are absolutely necessary in conveying the horror of what the crew are facing. I'm a big wuss when it comes to horror and can say that it's the perfect amount of gross. Just enough for you to be watching a handful of scenes through your fingers whilst mainly enjoying a total rollercoaster of a movie.

cinemajesty Movie Review: "Event Horizon" (1997)Even though screenwriter Philip Eisner was not very innovative with his Paramount Pictutres pitched script, which comes along as an mash-up of "Alien" (1979) and "Hellraiser" (1987). But young and demanding director Paul W.S. Anderson (born 1965) has pushed the limits of the 60 Million Dollar budget produced by Lawrence Gordon with further professional cast members, surrounding Sam Neill as scientist Dr. William Weir and Laurence Fishburne as starship Captain Miller, investigating believed-lost spacecraft the title-given "Event Horizon", where thoughts, fears and desires of the astronauts turn into menacing horror-thrilling realities.The picture's editor has done well in cutting the 130 Minutes first cut into 90 Minutes Space Thriller ride of decent special effects and set decorations, where in relentless pace the psychic power of metal gear spiked sphere turning crew members to the dark side in atmospherically created cinematography by Adrian Biddle (1952-2005) with high standard make-up effects, pyro-techniques and in-camera lighting choreographies, which keep the spectre awake and guessing what is next at stakes in constant twisting shock effects."Event Horizon" released on August 15th 1997 on the U.S. domestic market could only find a minor R-rated hard-core loving domestic audience with a box office revenue of 26.5 Million Dollars, which is just an 44.17& rebound on the initial production budget. Nevertheless further international sales and a recovering DVD release in 2001 brought the picture to break even. When I watch again these days, my feeling seconds me that this science-fiction horror-thriller has the ingredients to be a mash-up / copy cat classic.© 2017 Felix Alexander Dausend (Cinemajesty Entertainments LLC)
