A very atmospheric space horror.

Rating: 8/10 (17 October 2017)

The crew of a small ship set off into deep space to recapture the Event Horizon, a ship that's been to some dark places in Space. On that ship is Event Horizon creator Doctor Weir, and when the crew get trapped on board the Event Horizon they face some horrific events.
The movie is incredibly atmospheric, even after all these years it holds up very well, the ship looks great, well designed with strong production values. The music is particularly good, again adding to the sense of fear. Soon good special effects, sure it rattles a little around the edges, but it was made back in 1997. There isn't a reliance on gore, as there are with so many current films, although it does contain some rather grim scenes.
I'm a big fan of Joseph Richardson, but she somehow looks and feels a little out of place in a sci-fi movie, I don't buy into her. Definite star of the show is Sam Neill who is definitely a cut above, he's cool and menacing.
I'm surprised at just how much I enjoyed watching it once again. 8/10
