Going... Going!... gone

I'm not going to lie, the first 80-or-so minutes of "Event Horizon" were phenomenal. There is a large amount of slow burning tension, and the looming threat of the unknown is strongly present. And the idea of a "Hell" on the other side of the universe is a brilliant and terrifying idea, playing on the fears of Christians and Atheists alike. The atmosphere is cold and uniquely horrifying, and the story is surprisingly engaging.
And then Sam Neill turned into a fire monster and tries to seduce Lawrence Fishburne, while Richard T. Jones flies around space like Shia LaBeouf on vines.
