Stolen But Simply Outstanding
I watched this film as part of a double bill one afternoon at a local cinema. On the end of this I watched The Exorcist. Event Horizon left me feeling truly disturbed.
A crew venture into space to recover a vessel that has been fitted with a device that can bend time (fitting with recent theories on space travel). They find a ship that appears to be quite lifeless. Unfortunatly for them it isn't As the other reviewer says if you slow down the log files you'll appreciate why this was rated so heavily, we didn't have that luxury in the cinema, but even at that time enough of the flickering images remain in the brain long enough to make you shudder, and they aren't the half of it. A thoroughly taught blood and guts thriller, the like of which are rarely seen. Any criticisms? Well.. they did steal ideas from practically all the best horror movies ever made. Certainly comparisons to a sci-fi version of Hellraiser wouldn't be out of line.. But then why make it a criticism it was all done so exceptionally well!! Not only do I rate this a 5 but I've rented it on both VHS and DVD twice. The only reason I haven't bought it is because of the lack of extras! |
