Stolen But Simply Outstanding
By a customer from Milton # , 02 Jul 2004[Highly rated reviewer]
I watched this film as part of a double bill one afternoon at a local cinema. On the end of this I watched The Exorcist. Event Horizon left me feeling truly disturbed.
A crew venture into space to recover a vessel that has been fitted with a device that can bend time (fitting with recent theories on space travel). They find a ship that appears to be quite lifeless. Unfortunatly for them it isn't
As the other reviewer says if you slow down the log files you'll appreciate why this was rated so heavily, we didn't have that luxury in the cinema, but even at that time enough of the flickering images remain in the brain long enough to make you shudder, and they aren't the half of it.
A thoroughly taught blood and guts thriller, the like of which are rarely seen. Any criticisms? Well.. they did steal ideas from practically all the best horror movies ever made. Certainly comparisons to a sci-fi version of Hellraiser wouldn't be out of line.. But then why make it a criticism it was all done so exceptionally well!!
Not only do I rate this a 5 but I've rented it on both VHS and DVD twice. The only reason I haven't bought it is because of the lack of extras!- Was this review helpful to you?

(105)Could have been great....but isn't!
By FullofStars (41 reviews) from Scotland , 14 Apr 2013A good cast and storyline, starts well with a menacing chill but descends into predictable violent nonsense. A missed opportunity to create a sci-fi classic, instead an expensive B Movie consigned to the late night movie on TV that no one watches. Disappointing.- Was this review helpful to you?

When in doubt add lots of blood. When desperate flood it with blood.

Great SciFi/Horror
By GaryI (785 reviews) from March, Cambs , 11 Jan 2013SciFi/Horror as a genre can produce great cinema (Alien for instance) and Event Horizon is an interesting film as it attempts to introduce traditional evil into the story of a lost spacecraft that suddenly returns. It's a great little movie, quite scary and is a cut above the average. Well worth seeking out and giving a try.- Was this review helpful to you?

Not for the faint hearted
By a customer , 03 Jan 2013This film is an interesting concept and an imaginative exploration of other-dimensional space. It certainly follows a similar pattern to Solaris in terms of the human element but includes a whole extra element of unknown with the inter-dimensional portal.
It was an engaging film and included a nice few twists and kept me guessing and Fishburne and Neill played their roles well.
That being said, a lot of the gore was fairly intense once it got going and, as far as my opinion goes, is only surpassed by Silence of the Lambs. I don't think of myself as being squeamish but I am very glad my wife did not watch it with me as she definitely would have found the gore over the top- Was this review helpful to you?

Not For Me
By a customer , 08 Nov 2012absolute crap! Terrible acting/stupid plot/Second rate movie. Only watch if you really have nothing else to do. Shame really because Sam Neil is a half decent actor given the chance, but this wasnt one of those chances Im afraid!- Was this review helpful to you?
