Spine Tingling Sci-Fi Horror Shocker - but not without faults

Rating: 7/10 (28 April 2002)

Sure Event Horizon has its faults, but for fans of Sci-Fi/Horror I'd recommend it. It has huge plot holes and an annoying tendency to take the viewer right to the water but just not let you drink any, if you catch my drift. Referring to another reviewer's comments, yes the Event Horizon does look very foreboding and ugly - that my friend is the idea, it helps create atmosphere. The movie does deliver plenty of shocks, especially the 'Hell Scene' which is quite disturbing in all its glory. All in all its a fun ride, just not perfect by any means but it could have been a hell of alot worse, I just wish Paul Anderson had spent a little more time explaining or trying to explain where the Event Horizon had been and what exactly had happened on board, more depth would have been very welcome. I could pick holes in the film all day, but I still cant help but like it.
