NEW 4K Scan Of The Original Camera Negative This Scream Factory release is a must own for genre fans. I was absolutely blown away by this one and will be revisiting it again soon enough. It’s got one hell of a cast and the story really does send some chills down your spine. Overall, Event Horizon is one of the most underrated horror films of our age. One death in particular continues to play over and over in my mind. It’s not gory but has plenty of blood, eye-gouging, and great practical effects. When you mix the story with the sets you get a claustrophobic horror story that works very well.įinally, the film has plenty of great effects and some unforgettable deaths. I loved how the story and characters slowly descended into madness. Having a black hole punch a way into another dimension allowing something evil to escape is absolutely fantastic. However, this story has a little bit of Doom mixed in with it which is extremely fun. A salvage or rescue crew retrieving a lost ship is something that has been in sci-fi flicks for several decades. The story for this one is nothing new especially for 1997 but most of the other films are sci-fi action adventure films where this one is a horror sci-fi mash up. The supporting cast is just as entertaining with no weak links in this chain. I absolutely loved watching the progression of his character and how he fully evolves at the end of the film. The real star of the show is Neill who delivers a very grounded and charismatic performance at the beginning of the film only to go completely off the rails in a performance that rivals his character in In the Mouth of Madness. He never disappoints and this is no exception. Fishburne absolutely nails it as the space captain trying to protect his crew. The movie was extremely fun and one that I can’t believe I went so long without revisiting. This made for this revisit to be a fantastic one because it was almost as if I was seeing the movie for the first time…which is not far from the truth. I remember watching Event Horizon all those years ago but I don’t remember a damn thing about the movie. Now, they salvage crew is tasked with finding the crew and determining what happened to the ship but what they find is something from Hell itself. The ship was a prototype to travel faster than light and was engaged in testing when it disappeared. **Spoiler Alert** The film follows a salvage crew who travel deep into space to recover the lost Event Horizon which disappeared 7 years prior. It arrived a few days ago and I quickly put it into my movie rotation. I emailed them and they were kind enough to send a review copy my way. It has been sometime since I had viewed it so I didn’t remember a lot about it.Ī few months ago Scream Factory announced the release of the film on blu and I started chomping at the bit wanting to see it. I enjoyed it and when the local video store went out of business I snagged it on VHS for my collection. I remember when I was in middle school I watched the sci-fi horror flick Event Horizon for the first time. Horror took over in late elementary school but I still found other genres to be entertaining. I remember spending most of my childhood in front of the television watching anything and everything that slightly held my attention.
