Sci-fi horror.
This film scared me at the cinema. I had to see it nine times just to get used to the fact that it was a movie. But I saw it also for the lavish special effects, and fine acting performances by Larry Fishbourne, Sam Neil, and co.It has to be said that the film is perhaps let down abit by the obvious 'cuts' that have been made in this movie. It should have contained alot more x-position. The book has all of this and explains just what was supposed to happen. But as we're used to in cinema today, movie length is often sacrificed for moron viewers who can't concentrate for longer than a minute.The Event Horizon itself is so cool. I wish someone would do a model of this ship. The sets and props are just excelent. The engineering and bridge sets are just totally nasty, they unsettle you in ways I cannot descibe. 'Creepy' doesn't cover it.Story wise, it's quite good. The only let down here is the tacky ending which soooo should not have been there, but the rest of the film is fine so you can forgive it.Visual stunning. the artwork and effects shots are worth buying it just for them. The film opens with a 600 degree clockwise loom shot of a space station that'll make your eyes roll around for a few mins after. The Sound mix is first class with all the right juicy booms, bangs and scraping noises.And who can argue that Sean Pertwee's portrayal of the Brit spaceman isn't just brilliant. "Why can't we go to mars Captain.... I mean Mars has got Women!" (Said on the bridge before their mission begins.Nice to see Jason Issacs play a good guy for a change.A B-movie but any sci-fi horror fan would be mad not to include this amongst his/her collection. I enjoyed it very much ... after the initial shock of the film stopped keeping me from sleeping ;D

Outstanding sci-fi horror
Event Horizon is a shining example of sci-fi horror. An experimental ship dissapears and then mysteriously reappears so a search and rescue ship is sent to investigate, along with the crew the research scientist who invented the ship's drive for the Event Horizon is present. When they reach the ship they discover an unexpected horror.For me the film works well as both a science fiction and a horror story. For the science fiction you get some wonderful scenes of the solar system and of micro gravity (in fairness the effects do look a little dated in this respect, but still do their job). It also works by not just being a horror set in space, the horror comes because it is space and the setting itself adds peril to the mission.The horror is strong by blending a mix of personal, psychological horror with good visual and more visceral scenes. It works on an individual level for the characters drawing upon their fears and the degeneration into madness, particuarly in Sam Neil's character's case. The technology of the ship also enhances this brutal aspect, the drive itself looks more like a device of medieval torture rather than esoteric technology.The pacing of the film is spot on, it doesn't take long to get going and keeps providing something new to keep you interested. The cast is small and allows you to get to know each of the cgharacters and the different aspects they feed into the story.Overall this is an excellent watch and highly recommended.

Save yourself from Hell!
A sci-fi horror classic. Dr Weir has been sent to the Lewis & Clark to investigate the disappearance and reappearance of the Event Horizon beyond Neptune. Things turn ugly once they board the ship an engineer Justin gets pulled into the gravity drive causing a wave that damages the Lewis & Clark. All crew have been ordered to board the Event Horizon. Dr Weir struggles to find answers as to where the ship has been and what happened. Meanwhile the individual crew members start to experience hallucinations relating to their personal lives. The ship seems to have a sinister energy that gets inside the minds of the crew. Things then turn to breaking point!Event Horizon is a must watch! A science fiction movie with some disturbing sequences.

Outstanding, even for SF enthusiasts
Event Horizon takes a classic SF “What If?” and twists a credible tale into a totally believable nightmare.Well almost, because most of it is sufficiently well done to hold our attention strongly enough not to question the science or the fiction, so we can simply enjoy the horror.I know the film is quite old now, but it was filmed when things were done properly before modern whizzy CGI, and the HD image quality is surprisingly good on my Blu-ray Collectors Edition.Beware, some might not like the amount of Anderson gore and violence, and remember also this is reduced in run length from the original cut – there was more gore before.

Excellent Film
Happy to see this arrive on Blu Ray as it's one of my all time favorite Sci-Fi/ Horror films, For those who've not seen it it's about an experimental spacecraft which went missing 11 years ago and has now reappeared minus it's crew, a rescue mission is sent to investigate the ships mysterious reappearance along with the ships designer with catastrophic results.Although it sounds like your usual space fodder it's more of a thriller/horror as there's no vicious alien's roaming the ship tearing people apart instead the ship turns people on themselves.I have to say to this day this is still a film which sends chills down my spine especially when watched alone at 2 in the morning with the lights off. The ships gothic atmosphere makes the film even more foreboding while Sam Neil & Laurence Fishburne along with the rest of the cast give great performances as the ill fated rescue crew.As to the Blu Ray conversion the sound is excellent when turned up it really thunders and the picture quality is excellent you can pick out the excellent detail in the ship that you would never have noticed before all in all 10/10.

Muy bien ...
Excelente respetaron el formato letter box y se ve sustancialmente mejor. La compre aunque indicaba que la pelicula 4K no traía ni sonido ni subtitulos en español es un ERROR ya que si trae ambos. Y me decidi a comprarla porque el Bluray si indicaba que traía ambos ....lo cual es cierto. Esto es un error GRAVE para sus ventas ya que SI los incluye y en su portada dice que NO.
