Special effects do not a good movie make

Rating: 2/10 (16 August 1998)

'Event Horizon' looks good, I'll give it that. But the story is lacking and the thrills are cheap. You can easily predict what's going to happen next. I was never once scared. Grossed out, yes, but not scared. 'Event Horizon' borrows heavily from 'Aliens' (minus the aliens) and 'Hellraiser' of all things. If you want to really be frightened, see 'Aliens'. It's a much better movie.
