Profile of Event Horizon

The mood of Event Horizon is bleak, scary, and suspenseful. The plot centers around space travel, a future dystopia, and ghosts. It is a thriller, horror, and sci-fi movie. Stylistically, Event Horizon is gory. In approach, it is fantastical and serious. It is especially suggested for a boys' night. Note that Event Horizon includes strong violent content, nudity, and profanity.

Summary of Event Horizon

In this eerie science-fiction ghost story, an astrophysicist (Sam Neill), haunted by the memory of his wife's suicide, joins a rescue mission to salvage his life's work: the Event Horizon, a prototype spacecraft capable of faster-than-light travel that has been missing for seven years. Their arrival triggers contact with something beyond human experience--and more dangerous than ever imaginable. Similar in plot to Andrei Tarkovsky's eponymous screen adaptation of Stanislaw Lem's science-fiction novel SOLARIS, EVENT HORIZON provides some truly disturbing moments in its often potent combination of horror and sci-fi.

Variety

Despite game efforts from a first-rate cast and acres of impressive production values, Event Horizon remains a muddled and curiously uninvolving sci-fi horror show. Full Review

San Francisco Chronicle

It's not a great film, but Event Horizon produces an intense sense of visual involvement. The hallucinatory, almost 3-D-like scenes stick in the mind. Full Review

Is it really sci-fi?

This movie seems a decent sci-fi at first but then things go bad... well, unspeakable evil is one thing but fountains of blood and weird zombie-like characters popping up around every corner is the other. The movie is really bad - and specifically... Read and rate it
