scary nonsense

Rating: 1/10 (3 August 2003)

At first glance Event Horizon seems like a very scary sci-fi tale with good special effects. After the subsequent viewing however, I notice that almost all of what comes to pass is total nonsense and pretty much just gratuitous gore. The basic precept of the gravity drive is quite interesting and could be made into an excellent creative, if given to a competent writer. Unfortunately there do not seem to be any in Hollywood at the moment, so they come up with a story that makes no sense. "Nameless horrors beyond hell." Yeah, right. Like what? Being sliced and diced? Steer clear. Fit only for stalk and slash fans and people who don't expect much coherence from their entertainment.
