Fantastic

Rating: 10/10 (17 December 1998)

I am a huge Hellraiser fan, and I don't see all of the obvious similarities that everyone else thinks are so blatant. I didn't think Aliens was anything special when I saw it, but that was a long time ago, so I can't say if Event Horizon ripped it off. All I know is that this is, by far, one of the most fantastic horror films that I have ever seen. I wasn't even going to watch it, thinking that it was another boring sci-fi flick, but my brother and my mom convinced me that I should, but left me thinking that it was sci-fi. I was intrigued almost immediately, and realized that this was horror in the truest sense of the word. Event Horizon may have some things in common with other movies, but what movie doesn't. I think that it was a very original concept, and I loved it. It has some fascinating and thought-provoking lines that just transfixed me. And to the idiot who coughs about Scream, as if that wasn't the most worthless film ever made. I gave it a one, but I wish I could have given it a -10. Event Horizon is innovative and a great and fascinating movie. It is on my top 5 for greatest horror films ever made (the others being Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Dellamorte Dellamore, Hellraiser, and A Nightmare On Elm Street).
