I don't understand why it gets so mediocre ratings

Rating: 10/10 (4 February 2006)

This is sci fi horror at its best. Maybe I'm just plain stupid, but movies never scare me. But this one did it. Its efficiently scaring, disturbing and creepy, and at the same time brutal and shocking. Is it hard to understand that mix? Well, mix up Hellraiser: Hell on Earth and Hellraiser: Inferno and put in a sci fi plot and voilá! We've got Event Horizon! Now, the (near) perfect script isn't the only superb thing which makes this movie incredible. Great acting from Sam Neill, Laurence Fishburne and Jason Isaacs is also very important. I never liked Fishburne, but this movie changed my mind about this wonderful guy. Sam Neill has always ruled and he does that in this movie too. Jason Isaacs is one of my personal favorite actors so I cant give him bad criticism. Sorry, I just cant. In this case I cant give him that just 'cos his my favorite, he is truly great in this movie. And so is all the other actors. They put their soul and mind in their performance and they add their part to make a true masterpiece.
The special effects rule too. So does the direction. And the production. And, I never thought I would say this about a movie which only lasted for 'bout 90 minutes, the running time is perfect. Every second is valuable, perfectly used and not a single moment or scene seems to be wasted. Gee, just listen to what I'm saying! Here I'm sitting and raising this movie to the heavens! Is there really nothing to complain about? Well, just let me say one word; "No." I love this movie. If you liked Alien 'cos of the sci fi horror, then you'll love this! I promise! If not, you're welcome to slap me in the face.
