*** out of ****.

Rating: 7/10 (15 December 1998)

"Event Horizon" is a surprisingly intriguing and scary picture. I found it creepy that a ship which disappeared seven years before suddenly reappears. That's an intriguing idea which unfortunately doesn't go to the peak it could've. The movie slightly wastes its time being conventional that it doesn't go for the gold its premise provides. I did like how we never learned what was on the ship. The movie leaves that to our imaginations. The characters weren't all that interesting but they kept the plot moving. For an unoriginal film with a pretty original plot, the film isn't all that bad.
