Horrifying

Rating: Null/10 (29 April 2000)

Event Horizon is one scary piece of work. The premise of having the ship traveling to a strange, chaos dimension and bringing something 'evil' back with it, is intriguing. While I liked this movie, I felt they went into the gore too much and did not really go far enough to explain where the ship went. In the movie, it is described to be pretty much like Hell, but like Dr. Weir said, 'Hell is just a word. The reality is much, much worse.' That is very chilling. There are some amazing visual effects. I thought Laurence Fishburne and Sam Neill gave excellent performances. Like I said, I liked Event Horizon and it was very scary, but it was not without it's flaws. I'd say this film is above average.
