Disturbing, creepy

Rating: 7/10 (17 May 2007)

You would be excused if your first thoughts goes to Alien when seeing this movie. A crew off to discover what happened to the exploration craft Event Horizon, which has just recently been resighted after having been missing for 7 years.
But where Alien excelled in it's monster creature, Event Horizon is a more Gothic space horror story. It works on the psychological level without too much gore in the final theater version. It doesn't create such a claustrophobic atmosphere as Alien but still is good as action.
Apparently not well received when shown in the theaters, but I think it is very much worth a look. It could have been even tighter psychologically perhaps - but apparently under rated by media reviewers.
