Eventually yes! After watching the cinema trailers and various 'making of' features, my initial thought was that i must see this film. I've always been a fan of Sci-fi and horror films and definitely a fan of films in which these genres cross paths. I never got the chance to see this film during it's initial release in the UK but it was shown on T.V a couple of years later. So i watched(beered), with a vague understanding of the plot line(the craft was sent, it has been beyond, now it is back.... but it is not quite right....it is also shaped like a crucifix..etc) and i was disappointed.
A while later it was shown again and with a different mind set(ie.no beer)the film began to make sense and become actually quite good.Where had the good ship "Event Horizon" been....?..and what the f... happened there? Hell?, beyond?, an alternative reality?, another dimension?, it was somewhere like that. All of the above.. depending on where your head wants to go.... But it makes you think.... .....and i like that! Laurence Fishburne (before matrix) and Sam Neill(after Jurassic Park) make it work for me. As for comparisons with Hellraiser etc... Of course but everything is derivative(inspired by) of something else. (heard a truly original song, lately?!
