Hidden Gem

Rating: 10/10 (21 September 2006)

I have absolutely no idea how this movie currently has a 5.8/10 rating! Event Horizon was one of those films that made a huge willing-suspension-of-disbelief jump during its trailer to be able to tell a story of what it truly might be like at the other end of the universe.
The cast performances (led by Laurence Fishburne and Sam Neill) were outstanding with no weak acting that I can speak of. The characters themselves were intriguing as each crew member was in essence fallible yet competent.
The dark theme and raw evil created in all aspects throughout the movie (the score, the characters, sharp images, lighting) added a scared 's***tless' viewing experience.
I often wonder if the perception of this movie hurt its ratings. Perhaps many thought it was a sci-fi adventure movie and was expecting something a little more vanilla than what they got.
Nonetheless, this is a must see.
