Product Description

Drawing from Andrei Tarkovsky's heady science fiction meditation "Solaris" by way of "Alien" and "Hellraiser", this visually splendid but pulpy piece of science fiction schlock concerns a mission in the year 2047 to investigate the experimental American spaceship "Event Horizon", which disappeared seven years previously and suddenly, out of nowhere, reappeared in the orbit of Neptune. Laurence Fishburne stars as mission commander Captain Miller and Sam Neill is Dr. Weir, the scientist who designed the mystery ship. Miller's T-shirt- and army-green-clad crew of smart-talking pros finds a ship dead and deserted, but further investigations turn up blood, corpses, dismembered body parts, and a decidedly unearthly presence. It turns out that the ship is really a space-age haunted house where spooky (and obviously impossible) visions lure each of the crew members into situations they should know better than to enter. The ship is gorgeously designed, borrowing from the dark, organic look of "Alien" and adding the menacing touch of teeth sprouting from bulwark doors and clawlike spikes inexplicably shooting out of the engine room floor. Unfortunately the film is not nearly as inventive as the production design--it turns into a woefully inconsistent psychic monster movie that sacrifices mood for tepid shocks--but the special effects are topnotch, and ultimately the movie has a trashy B movie charm about it. "--Sean Axmaker"

5.0 out of 5 stars"Hell is only a word, the reality is much much worse... Now let me show you!"
By ThatGuyOnTheInternet on October 16, 2016
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
Alright ordered this movie after hearing good things. I wasn't disappointed. Definitely a good movie for those who aren't expecting a mindless horror movie where you turn your brain off. If you're expecting something akin to Alien then this might not be for you as there are no rampaging ravenous alien lifeforms tearing crewmen apart. Despite being a sci fi movie this is more akin to the Hellraiser movies (which also took place in space in Hellraiser: Bloodline) as it also has a supernatural/occult theme to it. The entire movie has a feeling of dread present throughout most of it and at some points can be physiologically disturbing with grisly scenes of gore and torture at a certain point in the movie. Overall good movie.

5.0 out of 5 stars90s Greatest most gory Sci Fi thriller
By edgar melton on October 1, 2016
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
This is the 90s at it's best!! No other sci fi movie comes close. Awesome cast the gore is top notch acting is right where it should be. It takes the the best themes of 3 maybe 4 others movies and puts it own nasty little twist on them. You may be reading other peoples reviews on this movie and they batch it for that, but in my opinion why not use them, it makes this movie that much better. It has the best of all those movies plus it has it's own killer theme. I'll be honest I don't really like movies from the 90s to the present because of all the CGI, but this movie is one of the best at using CGI and make up effects. Pure evil, If your looking for a nasty little gem from the 90s this is. The one to get trust me you will love it and this 2 disc set is awesome thanks for another great DVD set Amazon you guys fucken rule!!!!

5.0 out of 5 starsMysterious, creepy (and clearly where Dead Space got most of their ideas from)
By Wolf on January 10, 2017
Format: Amazon Video Verified Purchase
This is 1 of the few movies I've seen that have freaked/creeped me out, a lot.

Watching it progress it became more and more disturbing and leaving me wondering what was going to happen. I'm usually 1 that can guess pretty well what will occur in a movie, but this, was hard to predict.

Its a slower starting film, but it adds to building suspense and mystery surrounding what actually happened on the ship.

Instead of writing a long review I'll leave it like so for viewers that are younger: Have you seen or played Dead Space (video game)? If so, do you wish it was a movie at times?
This is the closest you'll get. It has the creepiness, general un-easy feeling throughout its entirety but it lacks the action and monsters. This focuses on the mind F the crew experiences and how they have to deal with it while dealing with a unknown threat.

You can easily tell the makers of Dead Space got a LOT of their ideas and inspiration from this film, and it's no wonder why, this film is awesome.

4.0 out of 5 starsAhead of its time and it shows
By cincy pat on January 7, 2017
Format: Amazon Video Verified Purchase
A movie ahead of its time
With the resources available at the time, the movie effects are really awesome. The concept of a controlled black hole, and a ships coming alive are things not too often explored in Sci Fi. The concept that the ship went to hell, might be a bit far fetched, but that something evil came back certainly not beyond imagination.
The area that the film lacked, IMHO, is in the script. Yes, all needs to fit into a limited time. But more development of the evil, and more continuity in the characters would have gone a long way to make this a much better movie. In the approx. 1:30 minutes, another 15 minutes could have gone a long way.

5.0 out of 5 starsMust Watch for Horror and/or Sci Fi Fans
By Mark S on January 5, 2017
Format: Amazon Video Verified Purchase
I love this film! It's the best horror/sci fi film I have ever seen. I'm sure a lot of Alien fans will disagree, but I genuinely like this film more. I like how psychological it gets.That's the best kind of terror. The unknown and playing with people's minds. This movie really sticks with you long after you watch it. All the performances jump off the screen and the casting is perfect.The effects are great even though a couple of them look a little dated now. Still, this movie came out so long ago that the effects are really quite good.

4.0 out of 5 starsEvent Horizon...The Discovery Of Extraterrestrial Life
By D. Howerton on March 9, 2015
Format: Amazon Video Verified Purchase
Event Horizon is a very good science fiction/horror flick with solid performances by the cast. The special effects were outstanding although somebody got carried away designing the ship. The storyline is straight forward: A rescue mission is sent to investigate a distress signal. The signal is determined to have been sent by the Event Horizon, a research ship that had been listed as missing for seven years. After the rescue vessel docks with Event Horizon, its crew learns that Event Horizon had pioneered the use of a space/time warp drive which, to everyone's horror, had also breached dimensional reality...and that's when all hell breaks loose. The final scenes of the film leaves the viewer with a "lady or tiger" dilemma regarding the fate of the survivors: Did they really escape the horror of the dimensional breach or not?

5.0 out of 5 starsMost space thriller and horror movies are extremely cheesy. This one is wonderfully true.
By AMMTRACER on January 9, 2017
Format: Amazon Video Verified Purchase
Most space thriller and horror movies are extremely cheesy. This one is wonderfully true. Instead of the woman saying "I'll go back in the crazy room of Satan", this movie has a real reaction: "I'll do what needs to be done, but I will not go back near that room". Like any smart person would do. I really liked it, and have seen it a few times. Even knowing what comes next, it still holds it's own.

3.0 out of 5 starsWell, I dunno...Meh
By S. M. Randall on January 13, 2013
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
I guess I'm not wild about movies like this. I don't know what the 'vision' was for it, if there was a sub-text I didn't get or what, but it left me cold. I'm a reasonably intelligent woman, and the end just didn't make a whole lot of sense to me. So, I guess it should have been made a bit clearer. But I'm getting ahead of myself, but why not, I'm not a reviewer, I just tell you what I think about one since I do like my movies.

The Event Horizon went missing, assumed lost with all hands...it was doing some shady experimental stuff with some new impulsion drive invented by Sam Neill who is six different ways shady in this one. Larry Fishburne and his crew are a repair/rescue crew forced to abandon their projects to take up the new hunt for the Event Horizon. In other words, as in movies like this, they are the expendable grunts the powers-that-be throw into the meatgrinder.

Naturally, Sam isn't exactly open in giving the crew a lot of information concerning what they may or may not find, and the crew feels, rightly so, a bit of angst over this so tempers flare. Naturally they find the EH and naturally all the crew is dead, and there's the 'log' with the irksome footage of them in an all out murderous orgy of sex and bloody violence. Then there's the super secret drive which is still running, and has supposedly been 'somewhere' and maybe came back with 'something'. Weird and bad things ensue with death after horrific death. Also naturally, 'something' attacks the ship the good guys (sans Sam) came on and it needs repairs so they all have to take refuge on the EH. You knew that was coming.
So, in keeping with many movies in this genre today, we have an ending bereft of hope, ambiguous, and with serious holes.Read more ›
