Creepy atmosphere, aimless plot.

Rating: 5/10 (6 June 2005)

This film is a ghost story in space. A rescue spaceship is sent to Neptune to rendezvous with the _Even Horizon_, and experimental ship that disappeared years ago after testing its hyperspace drive. The rescue crew reach the vessel, only to find it a derelict. As the rescue crew slowly uncovered what happened to the former crew of the unfortunate vessel, the rescue crew find themselves hallucinating and going insane.
I gave this film a 5. The setting is really good. Neptune feels alien and creepy. The derelict Event Horizon feels like a real place... a serious achievement considering that it is supposed to be a starship. It feels like a visitor to another dimension. The dead ship filled with evidence of a murdered crew makes the _Event Horizon_ spookier than many a haunted mansion or isolated cabin in a Hollywood horror.
Unfortunately, the plot never really progresses much. There is some lurking influence in the ship, but we never learn anything about it. People see things, they go nuts, but the whole thing lacks climax.
