Disappointing sci-fi horror

Rating: 4/10 (15 August 2019)

Event Horizon has a good setup but it's unfortunately a disappointing sci-fi horror. Most of the characters have no depth and it's almost entirely reliant on jump scares. The cg is awful and the ending is abrupt. It's also very derivative. However, it still has some positives, the music by Michael Kamen is really good and Sam Neill and Laurence Fishburne give good performances despite their one dimensional characters. The set design and practical effects are impressive but are also extremely derivative of Alien.
