Rating: Null/10 (23 July 2001)

This movie was not what I expexted. I was gearing up for some boring, rip-off of "Alien". Boy was I in for a shock to the system. It takes a lot to scare me, this movie definatly came through. And it did it where horror seems to affect me the least, at home, on DVD in full day light.
This is the story about a rescue team that is seaching for the long last ship, the Event Horizon, after it vanished seven years earlier. The Event Horizon is an experimental ship that was developed to travel through space with advanced worm-hole technology, created by Dr. William Weir (Sam Neill). The crew is lead by Capt. Miller, played in a commanding performace by Laurance Fishburne. When the crew board the ship they unwittingly find out the horrors of what happened to the original crew first hand.
This film was scary as Hell. This mystery of the sinister force on the ship was part of what adds to the fear in this movie. The film also follows the standard rules of a horror movie and not give away too much of who is going make it out alive.
This film does suffer from some fundimental similarities to "Alien" but it's almost immpossible to make space-horror that is not. This film is also very brutal ,bloody, gorish and violent, so I'd advise not watching it if you are someone that doesn't handle well to violence.. But if your in for a good scare then, check this screamer out if you dare.
