Love this movie. Just a note,the Event Horizon was not designed/built to explore other dimensions. It was just meant to travel FTL by folding space. The traveling to other dimension was basically an accident. -

[@PlumbPitiful]

I like how there was such a simple explanation how a space warp works in this movie. It's basically the same concept as the so-called "faster than light" warp speed in Star Trek and hyperspace in Star Wars. Nothing like a little cool astrophysics before the horror starts!

I also saw this at the theater and was enthralled the entire time. I think that if it hadn't been rushed, a longer cut had been allowed, and it premiered around Halloween, Event Horizon would have done better at the box office. I'm just glad that it's become a cult classic. The film and everyone involved deserve recognition for this masterpiece.

[@mikeanderson9774]

It was heavily inspired by Warhammer 40,000 and more specifically The Warp

[@DrewLSsix]

My take isn't that the ship went to hell or any place that's literally malevolent. I think they went to a place where reality simply isn't the same, where they actual laws of physics are toxic to what we consider normal life and even the ordered nature of existence. There's no deacons on the other side, just a world that exists in its own natural state. The issue arose when this ship and crew from one universe entered a universe that wasn't compatible with them, the new universe corrupted the ship and crew causing all of them to break down in terms of what's expected on our side. We see this indicated by the new crews hallucinations, these are not agents from another dimension, they are manifestations of the people as the corruption slowly alters how their very minds work. And our crew is only exposed to this effect second hand, it looks like the original crew suffered more extreme effects almost instantly upon arriving in a universe where entropy logic cause and effect or any number of other constants we are accustomed to simply don't work the same. I dont think there's much of a story there for the original crew.

[@paulsantoro1082]

This is the only horror movie that actually scared the sh*T out of me. I watched it late at night - all by myself - the night before my parents were about to go away on a trip for a week. What a bad idea that was. I was alone in a big house for the first time since my grandma had passed and for some reason this movie did something to me that no other movie ever really did. It completely unnerved me. I was so freaked out and I didn’t know why. Every night I would come home from work to an empty house and, before I could go to bed, I had to walk room to room with a knife in my hand to check every closet and every corner to make sure I was completely alone in the house. I even checked the now empty apartment over the garage where my grandma used to live. The idea that a whole part of the house was just empty like that really freaked me out. I was always super freaked out going up there. There are several reasons why this movie freaked me out: the setting (people being in places where something really horrible once happened without knowing about that awful thing - really freaks me out), the religious symbolism (raised catholic), the gore, the strange lighting, and there was something about the people in hell having their eyes torn out that really freaked me out. I was so scared of this movie for so long. It gave me such a terrible feeling. I’ve watched it several times since - both with other people and alone - and I love it now. But that initial feeling that I got from this movie was really rough. I had nightmares. No movie has ever had a similar effect on me and I watch a lot of horror.

It wasn't used in experiments to travel to other dimensions of the space/time continuum. It had an experimental FTL drive, which was supposed to move vast distances in space very quickly by creating intermittent quantum singularities. It entering another dimension was an unexpected side effect.

[@Datan0de]

I once watched The Black Hole and Event Horizon back to back. They tell such similar stories, yet are wildly different movies! I got to see Event Horizon in the theater, and while it gets weak toward the end when Sam Neil goes full-on slasher, the film as a whole is solid and memorable. I particularly loved Laurence Fishburne's character. He's extremely competent, courageous, devoted to his crew, makes all the right decisions, and ends up more screwed than any character I've ever seen in any movie. Also, his instructions to the crewman who's about to get blown into space without a pressure suit are spot on, and the scene is the most accurate depiction of what decompression does to a human body I've ever seen in cinema. Finally, I play Elite Dangerous, an amazing space MMO. I built a rescue ship in the game and named her Lewis and Clark, and regularly come across fleet carriers (giant ships owned by players) named Event Horizon. I avoid them.

[@steampunker7]

One of my personal "Holy Crap!" moments in revisiting films from my childhood was the realization that The Black Hole isn't really the scifi movie I always thought it was. But rather a horror movie set in space. All the tropes are there. The score is moody and ominous. The set design either dark and foreboding or hellish and chaotic. The Cygnus is a forgotten Gothic castle or cathedral. Rheinhart is the mad scientist pushing the boundaries of human knowledge to places it has never been, having the monomaniacal drive of Dr. Frankenstein and the hypnotic, theatrical baring of Count Dracula. Maximillian is his brooding monster who looks like the unholy mechanical combination of a gorilla and a spider (and might be the one actually in charge.) The crew are zombies. The sentry robots are animated skeletons. Old B.O.B is that hunchback living in the basement who tries to warn those pesky kids to get back in their van and get out of there before something bad happens to them. The effects are a little wobbly in places but do an excellent job communicating the scale and impact of the various set pieces. And while it isn't without its share of action scenes, laser gun fights, and cute robots, the film never loses its sinister and by the end desperate undertones as the crew of the Palomino tries to escape being dragged to figurative Hell by Rheinhart's insane obsession. Definitely worth a watch. Especially if you enjoyed Event Horizon.

This is a horror masterpiece. Most horror movies make me laugh because they are ridiculous. This one had me glued to the big screen with genuine psychological terror running through my head. True story time.

I watched this film not long after it was released, I was about 14 years old and it has stuck with me ever since. Yes, it has it's shortcomings and would have loved to see the original cut, but the idea was there and it was just so original. Then we had Sphere a year later which tried to do a similar thing and failed. I am going to watch this again now with the knowledge of film study I have obtained over the years and see if it still feels the same as it did back then. Also, I picked up at the time that what happened to original crew of the ship is theoretically what could happen if we were able to create a wormhole in space. Up becomes down, inside becomes outside, basically Hell and just add a supernatural element to it. Will always be one of my favourite horror films.

Its found that the ship crossed into another dimension during the space fold and bought something back with it making the ship alive somehow

It fit right in with my love of Hellraiser and Predator and body horror films. It's still one of my all time favorite movies and I wish I had the DVD for it! And while you mentioned that Sam Neill had Jurassic Park fame going for him, it was him in In the Mouth of Madness that sold me on watching this film!

Same here! Pretty much never see movies a 2nd time at a theater. I went to see it with some friends on release, not knowing anything about it, we came out physically shaking from what we just experienced. I knew this had moved the bar for horror, and dragged another friend to the cinema to watch it 1 week later, and it was already in one of the much smaller screems and there were hardly any people in the theatre. Having discovered how much it underperformed financially, I'm proud to have contributed twice as much as usual to the box office release.

I've always compared this film to Hellraiser, myself. Speaking of Clive Barker, he spent decades looking for lost footage from Nightbreed, and we finally got an extended version! He never gave up looking. The studio complained and made him take out so many scenes that were needed and made the film flow better.

Nothing is more scarier than your own nightmares of reality !!! What might scare me, might make you laugh and so on. My aunt use to work at the Cook county Morgue in Chicago. Nothing on the big screen made her jump or upset her in any way. What she seen at work on a daily basis was 10x more frightening than anything on the movie screen or TV. Her reality was much more scarier since she was now conditioned to horror. I cannot imagine what they all seen at work in the big cities that would make their reality scarier than the Walt Disneys amusing horror movie like Event Horizon or the Exorcist !! Alfred Hitchcock was the same way. He would let the audience decide the ending. This way everyone would go home scared in their own imagination.
