Fantastic sci-fi movie, don't pass it up.

Rating: 9/10 (26 December 2019)

Event horizon tells the tale of a ship which is capable of faster than light travel, however on the maiden voyage the ship disappears and then seven years later the ship mysteriously reappears. A rescue team along with the ships designer (Sam Neil) is dispatched to investigate. Events take a dark turn However when the ship is boarded and things are eerily not as they seem. We learn the ship has traveled between dimensions and actually took the previous crew to hell and that the ship has become corrupted by the chaos in the afore mentioned dimension.
Event horizon boasts an impressive seasoned cast of actors Sam Neil, Laurence Fishburne, Sean Pertwee, Jack Noseworthy, Kathleen Quinlan and Richard T. Jones star.
Along with the excellent cast the movie boasts incredible set design. The ship is gothic in appearance (which I personally love) and fits the narrative of the plot very well. Gore is used fairly well, there are very short graphic scenes which leave more to the audience's imagine which in my opinion works better than hellraisers use of showing you everything gore.
Event horizon does fall short in some places however, the movie has absolutely fantastic ideas which are sometimes poorly executed. These can be attributed to constraints placed on the direction by paramount cutting a lot of scenes from the movie, which the cast themselves were not happy about.
In conclusion Event Horizon is probably one of my favourite Sci-Fi movies of all time (think the shining but in space with gore). This explains the cult fan base which has developed over the years since the movie was released. The film still holds up really well which is unusual considering the movie came out in 1997. Definitely worth a watch if you haven't seen it yet! 'Do you see?'
