A credit to Anderson!

Rating: 9/10 (11 July 2007)

I am utterly astounded that Anderson can go from either extreme of film-making! take this Event Horizon against AVP, very good to utterly crap..
He (Anderson) does a good job of creating suspense, well directed, good special effects - OK a little dodgy CGI once, but at the time (1997) it was acceptable. The actors play their parts convincingly and there is not an abundance of gore, it is subtle and only in flashes of a few seconds - long enough so you know its there, but not long enough to make out exactly what it is - which works well and adds to the quality of the film.. the sets are genuinely unnerving and even if the Event Horizon was 'normal' you wouldn't want to be walking the corridors alone.
I was a little disappointed with the end, it would have been much better if the very last scene had been cut - It would have left it more open (in a better way that the current cut does)..
All-in-all an outstanding effort by Anderson and hopefully a directors cut will be released!
