Product ReviewsEvent Horizon (DVD, 1998, Widescreen)

Event Horizon

Event Horizon is easily one of the most creepy movies of the 90's. The setting is perfect for the story line. Simply the idea of being on the opposite end of our solar system with noone but the group you are with is scary. Add to that a ship that is dark, intimidating and occupied by whatever you fear. Now you have the making of a true horror classic. Not to mention the "dark iron" look that the entire film possesses. The actual Event Horizon ship is amazing. It is almost a throw back to the early 1900's, simpily stunning.

The acting and the makeup in the film is awesome as well. You can just feel the fear that the characters are dealing with in this movie. The different personalities mesh completely with eachother. The makeup crew did a truly outstanding job. I can hardly explain it. You need to see it for yourself.

If you are looking for a CREEPY DARK well designed sci fi horror classic you need to get this film. Take my word for it you will not be disappointed! WELL DONE!Read full review...

You GOT to See This If You Are A Horror & Sci-Fi Lover

Event Horizon was written by Philip Eisner. The film was directed by Paul W. Anderson who was also responsible for Resident Evil and Alien-VS- Predator.

Starring Sam Neill and Laurence Fishburne, we find ourselves swept into this space adventure with awe and wonder. Yet Fear is always present.

We find that the heart stopping moments close to the end Captain Miller decides to blow the ship is tremendously enjoyable and tense. You may become mesmerized if watched alone at night with all the lights off where you can properly get swept up in it's claustrophobic atmosphere. We learn that the ship has brought back evil from another dimension. Dr. Weir is continually haunted by his dead wife (Holley Chant) who committed suicide years earlier.

Set in the year 2047 the story concerns the sudden reappearance of a prototype spaceship The Event Horizon which vanished on it's maiden voyage seven years previously. A salvage ship called The Lewis And Clark is sent out to investigate and brings along Dr William Weir (Sam Neil), a physics expert originally responsible for the ship's creation. They dock with the Horizon but find no signs of life and as they set about making repairs, the crew begins to experience hallucinations and sense that they are not totally alone.

Event Horizon was initially unfairly dismissed by mainstream movie critics as a cross between Alien and Hell-Raiser. In my opinion this film will eventually be ranked among the classics.

This movie works on your own sense of unease and seems to culminate on the crew's growing sense of anxiety and paranoia. There is no definitive explanation given for what they are experiencing. Another Dimension may exist within the workings of this space ship but are only left to wonder whether we are actually parked on the edge of hell itself.

The Lewis and Clark space ship was modeled after the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris.

As Sam Neill (Dr. Weir) says at the end, "You'll never need eyes again where we are going."

5/5 for perfection and scariness. The double set is well worth the extra disc.

GOOD TITLE, RIGHT TO THE POINT, VERY DESCRIPTIVE

THE MOVIE WAS VERY EXCITING AND HAS A LOT OF SPECIAL EFFECTS, WITH GREAT ACTING AND LOTS OF ACTION.. BUT IT HAS A LOT OF VIOLENCE, I WOULD RECOMEND THAT THIS MOVIE BE WATCHED BUT ONLY BY PERSONS OVER 16 AND UP... PARTS OF IT ARE VERY SCARY AND IT WOULD BE CONSIDERED A SCIENCE FICTION HORROR MOVIE.. I LIKED MOST OF IT ON THE BASIS THAT IT IS HIGH TECH... AND IS THRILLING.. IN SUMMERY THIS MOVIE IS A GOOD ADULT CHILLLER AND CAPTIVATES YOUR ATTENTION.. ...SPARKYNCHRIS....Read full review...
