A classic to be

Rating: 10/10 (12 July 1999)

I'm sorry to see that so many people didn't "get" Event Horizon. This is the best crossover between horror and SF I've ever seen. The gruesome visuals may seem gratuitous, and to some the eccentric interior of the spaceship ruins the suspension of disbelief, but viewed on its own terms "Event Horizon" conjures an atmoshpere of true horror. One should note that, unlike "classics", such as the Alien series, the story is actually challenging. And unlike lieutnant Ripley and her companions, these people actually do sensible things. (And survive, mind you.) I have no doubt in my mind that in twenty years, this will be the greatest SF classic of them all. Truly frightening.
