I remember when I watched the making of Event Horizon on HBO on day back in 1997. I was thinking to myself,"What kind of movie is Event Horizon going to be, A sci-fi or horror?" I missed the chance to see it when it was in theatres, so I rented it when it came out on tape. The plot surrounds the Event Horizon, an enormous spaceship that has the ability to jump from one point in galaxy to another in seconds using the Gravity Drive, the device that makes this even possible. Anyway, it disappears on its maiden voyage and mysteriously reappears 7 years later. A rescue team led by (Laurence Fishburne) is sent to investigate. When they arrive, they discover that no one is on the ship, but of course it doesn't mean they're alone. Soon after they arrive, the crew members begin witnessing horrific visions as the ship begins "toying" with there minds, searching deep down into their minds projecting their secrets and fears and turns them into horrifying reality. When I watched it, I had no idea that it was actually a horror movie and not a sci-fi film. Viewers be warned, Event Horizon contains some really gory and sometimes grotesque images that are not pleasant to look at. Event Horizon is a great horror movie and should be a classic.
