I walked out of the theater.....

Rating: 10/10 (2 June 2011)

I saw this movie when I was 16 years old. At that time, I had seen my fair share of scary movies and had been certainly scared by many of them. However, none of them were so disturbing, that they made me literally leave the theater. Forget covering your eyes through a scary part, I felt the need to leave. The part that disturbed me so much was the scene where the designer of the ship was in a crucifix (upside down maybe?). As a Christian, this was too real for me and it affected me to my core. Don't worry, I did come back to finish the movie. But to this day, I have yet to see be a movie that moved me (literally) as much as this one.
Many of these reviews hit the nail on the head. It isn't that gory scary, although, eyes being ripped out and exploding blood vessels due to open skin exposure to outer space, were kind of cool. And it wasn't shock scary (the flashbacks and screen flashes of the Dr.'s wife shown with missing eyes and only having dark voids for eyes, were pretty spooky). The thing that made this movie memorable for me, enough to label it the scariest movie I've ever seen, was the fact that it encompassed and masterfully portrayed something that all (for the most part) of us fear, straight down to the core of our souls. Hell. The plot implies that a piece of hell had been brought back with this ship. This is very believable because it, in theory may be science fiction. We don't know what's in the middle of a black hole, therefore, one could assume that it is conceivable that a hell like existence is in the middle of a black hole. And that is the real factor that completely mind bucked me.
Call me what you want, but I won't even watch it again. It is a must see, even if it's only once...
