To think he made this and Boogie Nights in the same year.
Such incredible versatility.
i will forever mourn the 2 hour cut of this that supposedly went full Hellraiser inter-dimensional sex and gore but the version we've got is still a pretty nasty piece of textured sci-fi horror design work from anderson that owes a lot to Alien, Warhammer and Doom and has enough vividly rendered possessions, mutilations and portals to space hell to keep me coming back to it. love how much time is spent observing these beautifully designed spaces in carefully considered compositions like the ships heart and the microchip vents in the first half so that we know exactly where every burning, rotting and dissected body is later on. the rapid cut log of the previous ship's crew raping and cannibalising each other is one of the most disturbing things i saw when i was too young.
As far as I'm concerned, this director has made only one film and this is it.
This is not so much an all out scary horror film, but more an atmospheric piece. Sure, it has a couple of cheap jump scares, but all in all Event Horizon is a haunted house story with Lovecraftian influences.
It cleverly builds suspense by hinting at extreme horrors in stead of full out showing them. It then proceeds to more psychological horror feeding on the fears of the characters and concludes with a riveting, if somewhat predictable, finale.
Cast, special effects, production design, all just seem to work here in one of my favourite horror/sf genre crossovers.
asked my roommate what she wanted to watch and she simply said “space or ghosts.”
went above and beyond by picking something with space AND ghosts AND sam neill being weird 💯
I wish all stupid derivative genre crap looked this good. Gets crazy just because it can, funny without shitty ironic winking.
This is Nu Metal cinema at its peak. The only time in history you could get away with ending your film with Funky Shit by The Prodigy and keep a straight face.
There was a period of time after this came out where it was my favorite movie and I was completely obsessed with it. I had barely reached “R rated movies without a guardian” age so I was able to see it in a packed theater on opening night and I will never forget it. It’s no longer my favorite film, but I still absolutely love it and would definitely put it in my top 20 of all time if I were to make such a list which I won’t because that’s the kind of thing that can send a person wth OCD right around the damn bend.
This is about a space crew that investigates another ship that has suddenly…
This is utterly delicious trash. The kind of film made for watching while high as fuck late at night. Sure, it rips off a host of greater films feeling like Hellraiser meets Alien. Sure, the studio apparently mangled the hell scenes leaving them as brief flash. You can of course see the outline of a greater film given the wicked premise of a ship going through an alternate hell dimension and coming back alive and riddled with demonic energy that slowly drives the crew mad. But I enjoy this schlock. Isn’t it fun seeing Laurence Fishburne and Sam Neill play against each other? Isn’t refreshing watching a film that avoids winking, far too meta humor for something more fun and digestible?
Event horizon is the best example of how one can make a dope sci-fi horror.
The plot concerns a rescue vessel Lewis and Clark that receives a distressed signal from a ship named event horizon. Its crew is joined by Dr William Weir, who designed the Event Horizon. Upon boarding the Event Horizon, the crew finds evidence of a massacre. And slowly strange things start happening around them which leads to a sense of panic and discomfort among the crew members.
Event horizon has become a cult classic over the years reason being it's a movie that understands what real horror is and what are the essentials that are needed to create a good terrifying plot. Event horizon manages to…
what if solaris but your fears/traumas represent themselves in the physical form as a threat instead of just a recreation, where the moments that defined your life in the worst possible way come back to destroy you, your mind becoming your worst enemy. expressionistic as hell, with the depth of field shifts, the increasingly unhinged camera work, the strobe lights blaring away as the panic sets in and the frantic editing whenever the trauma sinks its teeth in, infecting the characters and the audience with a glimpse of hell itself. also the amount of empathy and humanity that's present here is seismic, all of the main characters feel like people with their own distinct quirks and idiosyncrasies but they're all…
