A creepy and enjoyable storyline...

Rating: 7/10 (5 February 2000)

Few movies blend science fiction and horror very well. Event Horizon does a pretty good job of it. Be warned: do not look for very much depth in the story line.
It uses the man vs. supernatural theme well; the characters are still in big trouble despite all of their science and technology.
The set of the ship is wonderfully Gothic. It makes the viewer uncomfortable just looking at it.
It has good visual effects. They may be diminished by the quality of the home theatre system you watch it on. Some of the gore in the movie is a bit disturbing, however, it does add to the evil qualities of the character.
Unfortunately, the script does not do the actors justice. I know Fishburne and Neil are capable of a lot more. We are given a superficial background and little insight into each of the characters. They are predictable and act irrationally which is expected in most horror movies.
We are given a slight bit of comic relief but it seems terribly out of place under such grim circumstances.
Do not over analyze this movie; just sit back and enjoy.
