Product Description

Product Description

In the year 2046, a rescue mission is sent to the outer reaches of our solar system to salvage the Event Horizon, a prototype spaces hip missing for the last seven years, whose crew vanished without a trace. As the rescuers search for survivors, they discover the terrifying secrets that lie within the mysterious space ship.

From Amazon.co.uk

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 claw-like 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 top-notch and ultimately the movie has a trashy B-movie charm about it. --Sean Axmaker --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

4.0 out of 5 starsHell of a concept
By Jason Norum on 22 Feb. 2003
Format: DVD
I am surprised at the harsh criticsm that this film has come in for here, and in other forums. It has been consigned by some to the stalk and slash section of the DVD rental shelves, while others dismiss it as second hand sci-fi. Personally I really enjoyed it. The blend of suspense, mystery, horror and gore is supplemented well by strong performances by Laurence Fishbourne and Sam Neill. Sure, some of the death scenes and other set pieces are a little hackneyed, but this is more than compensated for by that rarity amongst films - an original (and if you actually sit down and think about it, quite challenging)concept. On an intellectual level this questions our pursuit of knowledge (in this case technology) and asks us if we are fully prepared for what it could reveal. Top stuff.

5.0 out of 5 starsHell of a film
By A. G. Woods on 10 Dec. 2008
Format: DVD
I'm an Alien film fan, I enjoy a deep space claustrophobic scientific scare. Event Horizon is one of only a few films that has genuinely gave me a chilling unsettling fright and uneasy dreams - its Hellraiser (or Hellraiser as it should have been) in space. Wonderful horror concept, suspenseful, great characters, wonderful atmospheric detail. Great sci-fi movie, great horror movie.

5.0 out of 5 starsScare the pants off you!
By Hedley Walls on 4 Sept. 2011
Format: DVD
I saw this film about 10 years ago for the first time and I remember thinking it was on a par with Alien and Aliens for pure science fiction horror. Although my wife disagrees (declaring it a stupid film) I think is one of the scariest films I have ever seen. A massive fan of science fiction horror, I found it gripping throughout with very original scenes and special effects. Watching it more recently, despite the fact it was made in 1997, I think it is standing the test of time and doesn't - yet - come across as dated. I am not a big Sam Neill fan but he is good in this film, however it is the quality of Laurance Fishburne's acting that ensures that this film maintains a strong performance throughout. I do not tire of watching this - particularly late at night with the lights out!

5.0 out of 5 starsPut me off Horror for LIFE!
By SinfulAngel on 17 Oct. 2011
Format: DVD
I was dragged to the cinema by a friend to see this movie. It scared both of us to the point that I will never watch it again. It scared me so much that I haven't watched horror since. For fans of horror, this is the perfect movie!

4.0 out of 5 starsWorth a look for Sci Fi/Horror fans
By Mr Baz #1 REVIEWER#1 HALL OF FAME on 30 Jun. 2014
Format: DVD
I've had mixed feelings about this film for a while, whilst I like a good science fiction film...the thoughts of mixing in a horror element didn't really appeal. I did however take the chance and picked up a copy of this a good few years back.

The story unfolds: Event Horizon is a starship that has been "lost" for a number of years (7 in total), but suddenly a distress signal is being picked up. A crew is dispatched to investigate what has happened to the ship and it's crew. Dr. William Weir (played by Sam Neill) is the ships designer and joins the rescue/investigation mission.

It's not the most original plot for a science fiction film (but it's ok all the same), the movie was a bit of a flop at the box office and got some fairly mixed reviews. My own take on it is..well it's not as bad as some say and in a lot of ways it's quite good. But it's not for everyone.

Cast wise Sam Neill does a decent job of the ship designer who later becomes somewhat "obsessed/possessed" with the ship. Supporting cast is quite good with Laurence Fishburne taking the part of the mission ship Captain Miller, Joely Richardson as the Lieutenant and a few other familiar faces...Sean Pertwee, Jason Isaacs and Kathleen Quinlan are all respectable enough in their roles.

Effects are quite good, setting the dark and moody scene with some effective lighting and sound effect. The horror aspect is a mixed bag, it turns out that the ship has been to a strange/evil place and the crew were losing control of themselves mentally. Despite the unlikely storyline, I quite liked the film. It falls into that place where it's certainly not a classic masterpiece, but really nowhere near as bad as some critics made it out to be.Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsWhatever It Is, It Is An Event!
By N. Messenger on 28 April 2010
Format: DVD
Whenever this film comes up in conversation (which admittedly is not that often) someone will invariably say, "Ooh...that's a nasty film."
'Event Horizon' is not an especially good film by any standard really but it does somehow touch on something which genuinely disturbs a lot of people. Once seen the movie is not easily forgotten (whether you found it delightful, disturbing or just dire!). Another reviewer here has described it as an evil film and I think there is something to that. It's one of those films that in watching 'The Making Of...' you would expect to learn of fires on set, cast members mysteriously injured or missing, ghostly apparitions in the studios etc.
I have a great fondness for this film because in some respects it does 'nasty' and 'creepy' very well indeed...whenever those lights start to flicker you really do start to feel a mite uncomfortable.
But there are a LOT of things wrong with it and I think other reviewers have pretty much covered them.

SOMETHING OF A PLOT SPOILER ON THE WAY

For me the biggest letdown is the plot mechanism whereby the haunting horror on the 'Event Horizon' takes its form from the crew member's greatest fears or regrets. To me this really smacks of the dreadful 'Eighties movie 'Flatliners' (see Edit below).
And that really does deserve a roasting in Hell.

Edited 18/11/2011: 'Flatliners' was a 1990 movie (see Comments below).
