We don't need eyes.....

The year is 2047 and a ship named the Event Horizon has re-appeared after disappearing 7 years prior, in experiments for faster than light travel.

A rescue hastily speeds to the returned vessel after a transmission was picked up from the ship, garbled, but vaguely resembling a human voice.

As the crew reach the ship, and spend longer on it, it appears that someone or something is toying with them, and more, the question is what has the Event Horizon become?....

The first thing you notice is that this is the Shining in apace, but with added effects and obviously more space and loud noises to make you jump. And for the most part, it works very well.

But the script is very bad, and the inclusion of Jones as Cooper is an awful inclusion as he he is just there for comic relief, and feels really out of place in this sort of film.

Fishburne and Neill do the norm and are as watchable as ever, but it's the supporting cast that really surprise in this. Issacs and Pertwee are really good, and show that they are as reliable as always.

Visually it's very impressive, and the build and maguffin are quite unsettling, but after a while, it turns into a film about people walking down a corridor and trying not to look into a spinning ball.

The final act, which should have been shocking and macabre, is daft and way over the top, and although it's action packed, it's pretty boring in the end.

So it's a fun set up, which is quite eerie in parts, but the ending lets it down, becoming ridiculous and killing of characters as quick as the makers can.

Hello to Jason Issacs

I would love to see the director/s cut of this.

Ah test audiences, if not for you, we would of had a way more disturbing and horrific movie. They pick random people, probably a broad variety, but bland as all get out to help the studio execs gut a director's vision. Probably not even horror fans. What we get is good, but the potential is there for it to be way more disturbing, a horror film that is totally fabricated, but still resonates. Though, this one is good as I so enjoy the supernatural and then to combine it with science fiction...awesome!

The story, a ship, 'Event Horizon' has disappeared and seven years later as reappeared. A crew is set with the task of going to this vessel and discovering if there is anyone left alive and to salvage the ship if possible. On board this crew, a Dr. Weir, who is the man who invented the special engine used to propel the ship forward. Of course, it does this by opening a black hole and we will learn over time that where it leads, no man should go. As they explore the ship, stranger and stranger things keep happening and hampering any chance of the rescue team making it out alive!

I thought all the actors and actresses did good. I knew Sam Neil would be good and so is Lawrence Fishborne. The.visuals are really good too and the film has a very good atmosphere essentially being a spaceship that is haunted. I just think it would have been better with more extended peeks into hell, because who wasn't curious to see what the makers of the film came up with? Unfortunately, they got a squeamish test audience who thought it was too much and us horror fans are left to wonder. Of course, my biggest question is how the heck did a copy of the film with the extra scenes end up in a Transylvania salt mine?

So, I liked this film as I have been trying to watch all the supernatural horror in space I can. Got The Dark Side of the Moon too. Wanted Nightflyers, but that is not even on DVD. The only other one I can think of is Lifeforce which does have some cool visuals, but mainly takes place on earth. This one is probably the best of the ones I know, but could have been even better had they left the deleted scenes in.

A very atmospheric space horror.

The crew of a small ship set off into deep space to recapture the Event Horizon, a ship that's been to some dark places in Space. On that ship is Event Horizon creator Doctor Weir, and when the crew get trapped on board the Event Horizon they face some horrific events.

The movie is incredibly atmospheric, even after all these years it holds up very well, the ship looks great, well designed with strong production values. The music is particularly good, again adding to the sense of fear. Soon good special effects, sure it rattles a little around the edges, but it was made back in 1997. There isn't a reliance on gore, as there are with so many current films, although it does contain some rather grim scenes.

I'm a big fan of Joseph Richardson, but she somehow looks and feels a little out of place in a sci-fi movie, I don't buy into her. Definite star of the show is Sam Neill who is definitely a cut above, he's cool and menacing.

I'm surprised at just how much I enjoyed watching it once again. 8/10
