Event Horizon [1997]

Plot: In the year 2047 a group of astronauts are sent to investigate and salvage the long lost starship "Event Horizon". The ship disappeared mysteriously 7 years before on its maiden voyage and with its return comes even more mystery as the crew of the "Lewis and Clark" discover the real truth behind its disappearance and something even more terrifying.


This movie definitely had me going from beginning to end, a movie way ahead of it time!

It starts off slow but humorous as any good horror/thriller film should, but about ten minutes into the movie and you start to pick up the beautiful visuals of the event horizon. About a quarter into the movie and you start to see the horror/gore parts of the movie which isn't for all but if you can stomach it then it’s definitely a great movie to watch.

The visuals and plot is way ahead of it time (1997) especially watched on Blu-Ray you can see the quality of work that they put in to make everything look so realistic and horrific at times. The sound quality is amazing as well as from time to time they cut into some horrific/gory scenes with amazing audio which will scare you until the next scene.

The plot unfolds its self during the movie and in a progressive way in which the director is trying to explain to you detail by detail of what happened during this whole movie. By the end of this horror/thriller/gore film there seem to be no holes in the storyline, nothing to leave you wondering "what the hell happened in this movie?". The actors were the upside to this film as at some points of the movie it seemed to be a bit of a weird plot but the actors/actresses played the parts so well that the movie continued flowing well within any weird scenes.

Overall this is a must watch for horror/thriller fanatics or even the occasional horror film watcher.

Rate - 8.5/10
