Disturbing. Horrifying. What a Horror movie is all about.

Rating: 10/10 (9 September 2002)

I made the mistake of watching this movie alone at night when I was 12. I had nightmares from that movie for weeks. I saw it again recently. Once again, I had nightmares. This isn't like your average slasher where some guy in a mask goes around slicing people up. This doesn't make you bask in CGI and all its glory. This movie isn't a technological wonder, but you will p*** your pants watching it.
The movie sets itself in a spaceship that has been through hell and back. If you are religious, you can already see the horror. Then, a group of astronauts enter this ship, answering a distress signal. They are then confronted by their most horrible fears, which is fatal to some.

The movie scared me because they are in a conflict that their environment won't allow them to escape from.
There was also a scene where they had to decipher a Latin message. What they were saying was possibly the most disturbing thing in the movie.
Anyway, this is one of my favorite horror movies, simply because it does what horror movies are meant to do, and that's to keep you up at night. This scared me more than the Exorcist (that is to say the movie. The Exorcist BOOK was quite disturbing). Anyway, if your sleep is precious to you, don't watch this movie. If you can spare a night to stay up and jump at the slightest noise, this movie is worth a look.
