I hate horror films

Rating: 8/10 (23 June 2006)

As a general rule I hate horror films. I scare easily and have a run away imagination. However, I have forced myself to watch a few classics over the years Silence of the Lambs, Nightmare on Elm Street and Hell Raiser (regreted them all at the time, but glad I watched them in hindsight). The plot for Event Horizon appealed so I gave it a go. I wasn't disappointed. It's a great film and deserving of a much higher rating than it gets here. Sam Neil turns in an excellent performance as he descends into madness, taking you with him. In the version I saw, possibly cut, there is some gore, but like all great horror films it is your imagination that does a lot of the work.
