Thought That It Just Were Some Other Alien Crap... (Some Spoilers)

Rating: Null/10 (19 November 2002)

...I was deadly scared, when I first saw this film, I maked that mistake by seeing it alone and even with the lights off. When I saw the scene where Weir is dreaming that a voice is
whispering "Billy"! I knew that this wasen't another alien-film.

Plot: In the year of 2040 the spacecraft "Event Horizon" dissappeared without a trace. Now in 2047 The U.S Aerospace Command is recieving a distress signal from the ship. It is decided that a search and rescue team leaded by Captain Miller (Laurence Fishburne)and the creator of "Event Horizon" Weir (Sam Neill) is sended up to investigate what happened...But when they are arriving they find something evil, so evil it can't be dscribed what i´n words....The only sure way to say it, are: Hell.....

When I saw that the director of "Mortal Combat" should direct a science-fiction\horror film I was thinking: "This can only go bad". Then one day my big brother had rented it. I did not want to see it. But 1½ hour later when it was finished, he yelled at me: "You've Got To See This One" and so i did, as I already have said with lights off.
Good cast, good directing and a very intersting story. But I spotted some rip-offs from Hellraiser (1987) The Shining (1980) and Contact (1997), but who cares, this is scary anyway. Laurence Fishburne is SO cool as Miller and Sam Neill dellivers a stunning performance as the man who is about to me consumed by the evil of the ship.
See it, if you want to jump out of your bed, just by hearing a little noice.

Rated R for Strong Violence and gore.
