My All-Time Favorite Sci-Fi Movie.

Rating: Null/10 (4 July 2001)

I've seen other reviews on this movie and I was really disapointed on how many people hated it. They're all saying that the gore ruins the film. That is just no true. I've seen movies about 300-times more gory than this. The gore is not really bad.....at all. Event Horizon, in short, is a one-of-a-kind science fiction movie that you cannot find anywhere else. There are no aliens, so that's a releif for some people. Event Horizon is actually about a spaceship called Event Horizon that has been sent 7 years ago to explore the reaches of our solar system. By travelling, the Event Horizon "bends" the universe to get to one point of the universe to another. After trying to "bend" the universe the first time, that's when it disapears. Seven years later, A rescue ship is sent to find it after it apeared on Neptune. The only message they had received was filled with demonic screaming and a message "Liberaté Mé", which means "save me". When the rescue ship arrives, they find much more than an empty ship.

Sam Neil and Laurence Fisburne star in this gem. The thought that it puts in your mind is scary, and the movie itself lives up to be a terrifying Sci-fi/Horror. To prove this, I will say that there are enough scary, eerie, stinging, permanent and horrifying images in this movie to satisfy even people who haven't even heard of it yet. It's brilliant script is perfect. You just cannot find another Sci-fi movie with a theme like this. Unlike other popular ships, Event Horizon is haunted. Sam Neil is brilliant. Laurence Fisburne is ok, but not as great as in The Matrix. I'd recommend this movie to everyone who either wants a good scare or to everyone who likes sci-fi movie diamonds.
10/10
