"We are leaving." - Lawrence Fishburne, after watching the video log. Best line ever spoken in a horror movie.

[@leepeartlifeson3311]

Another great Sam Neil horror is John Carpenter's In the Mouth of Madness. Trippy story within a story inspired by the writings of HP Lovecraft. One of my favorites.

[@LoveLaurenn]

I appreciate the movie recommendation Ill have to check it out! Thank you for watching Lee😊

[@leepeartlifeson3311]

@@LoveLaurenn Loving your channel. Always happy to see that notification.

[@justinecooper9575]

I second that emotion!

[@kristinaF54]

Another great Sam Neil horror is Possession (1981), well it's more a slow burn psychological horror.

[@Timeisaflat_O]

The most Lovecraftian movie ever made.

[@Viggenpower]

I saw this in the theater, back in the day. It's essentially Hellraiser in space, with the Gravity Drive being the "Lament Configuration" opening up a gateway to Hell. To avoid an X rating, most of the horror ended up on the cutting room floor and was eventually lost (a long story). The missing footage was essential to the story and without it, left gaps in both the plot and the ending, which is why the end is so abrupt.

[@joaquinlechen8611]

It might be worth a prequel to see what the original crew encountered too.

[@Viggenpower]

@@joaquinlechen8611 agreed

[@LoveLaurenn]

Viggenpower, I appreciate your feedback and thank you for sharing your experience with the movie! It has been sometime since I've seen Hellraiser but I can see how it is similar in some ways to Event Horizon. The ending was definitely abrupt lol I was almost expecting a little something more at the end there! Still really enjoyed the movie! Thank you for watching Viggenpower☺

[@stygggian]

Agreed, this was great in the theatre.

[@Viggenpower]

@@LoveLaurenn I enjoy your content. Most creators won't react to a movie like Event Horizon. Keep bringing the content and I'll definitely keep watching.

[@tigeriussvarne177]

As a Warhammer 40k fanboy, I have to say it: Never travel the Warp without a Gellar Field! Great reaction, love the movie, and not just because I like the idea of it being a 40k prequel.

[@LoveLaurenn]

I appreciate your feedback Tigerius Svarne! I really enjoyed the movie and a couple people have said that in the comments about Warhammer 40k being a prequel lol so you are not alone there. I haven't seen 40k but will have to put that on my watchlist :) Thanks for watching Tigerius!

[@UberWraith]

@@LoveLaurenn just to point out, Warhammer 40k is not a movie; it's a table-top wargame - later converted also in a Role-Playing game - set in the far future (the year 40.000). One of the premises is that humanity discovered Faster-Than-Light travel through the opening of wormholes in the fabric of timespace (just like in Event Horizon...) and colonized the galaxy, but during their early travels they were NOT shielded against the cosmic horrors who lived in-between the rift through our reality... and suffered destruction, possession by malevolent entities or both. To avoid that, they created a kind of 'shield' to be immune to those effects. Warhammer 40k fans like to consider the Event Horizon an homage or even a precursor to those first FTL ships that entered the 'Warp' (the extradimensional space) without a 'Gellar Field' (the shield) and went horribly wrong.

[@LoveLaurenn]

@@UberWraith OH lmao well shoot yeah I had no idea that's my bad 😂jeee I feel like a goober for not knowing that sooner. Thanks for filling me in lol

[@michaelccozens]

@@LoveLaurenn Hey, nobody knows everything. And how boring would it be if you did? :)

[@kylerobb8066]

The horrors of the daemonculaba...

[@davidsantacarla]

The really sad part about this masterpiece is there was about 20 minutes of cut out footage the studio asked to be trimmed from the theatrical release. They torched the footage instead of holding onto it for a Director’s Cut Blu-ray. Would’ve been nice to see Anderson’s full vision for the Event Horizon. Terrific film!

[@duncancaswah7214]

I remember reading about someone claiming to have the cut footage on a VHS, but I'm not sure how true that is. It's a shame that we haven't gotten a Director's cut.

[@fxzero666]

What?! That's so disappointing... what a freaking shame

[@Fluffykeith]

Of all the films I know that were brutally trimmed down for theatrical release...this is the one I most want to see a directors cut of. Unfortunately that likely will never happen :(

[@davidsantacarla]

@@duncancaswah7214 The Director stated this in an interview.

[@LoveLaurenn]

oh wow I didn't know that! Would've been cool to see the full version with the removed scenes so that's too bad that they got rid of it! I appreciate your feedback David thank you for watching😊

[@kieronball8962]

Fun sci-fi trivia: Pilot Smith is played by the superb actor Sean Pertwee, who is the son of actor Jon Pertwee, who played Doctor Who in the classic British sci-fi series, from 1970 - 1974.

[@riveraharper8166]

He was Alfred in Gotham. :)

[@S_047]

I love his character. Straight up refuses to even get in the ship. "This ship is F****d "

[@davelister2961]

He was very good as the Sergeant in _Dog Soldiers_ .

[@complex314i]

Years later Sean Pertwee was able to Unleash his righteous furry against the the other Space of the Warp when killed a greater Daemon in his role of Brother Proteus in "Ultramarines: A Warhammer 40K Movie."

[@Robert_Douglass]

​@@complex314i"We March for Macragge, AND WE SHALL KNOW NO FEAR!!"

[@Wix_Mitwirth]

Jetpacking over Neptune with "Here I come, motherf*er!" is possibly the actual coolest shot ever.😎

[@kieronball8962]

I believe that after the Event Horizon fell into hell, it actually became sentient and returned to our reality as a physical gateway to hell, using the sins of the crew to either corrupt or kill them.

[@LoveLaurenn]

okay now that makes sense, I could definitely see that having happened! This movie actually really played on my imagination a lot like when the guy got pulled into the black hole I was imagining all of these horrible things inside that black hole just based on how he was when he came back out. Really made me wonder where the ship had been. Pretty wild movie, really enjoyed it. Thanks for watching Kieron!

[@karlsmith2570]

In the case of Dr. Weir, corrupting Him But, killed other members of the crew of The Lewis And Clark

[@OpenMawProductions]

@John R What do you mean? It's pretty evident that the ship is possessed. That's why the "life readings" are off the scale, and why they change based on what is happening on the ship. When more weird shit starts happening there are references made by Starrk to the "life readings going off the charts." The ship is literally housing an evil consciousness or even multiple (IE: Legion, for we are many?)

[@rigrmortis3393]

@kieron Ball I thought the same thing especially after seeing the entire movie and remembering the line about her life sign detector reading signs all over the ship.

[@farkasabel]

In the Warhammer 40K lore objects can become corrupted by chaos energies (hell) and become a demon itself. Vehicles are called daemon engines/ships. One of the most famous of chaos ships is the Terminus Est.

[@McPh1741]

This is one of those rare movies that makes my skin crawl, like "The Fly". To me, it has a Clive Barker feel to it. The look of the makeup, they way people die, and atmosphere reminds me a lot of "Night Breed" and the "Hellraiser" movies. You should definitely check those out. Awesome reaction as usual. Keep the videos coming.

[@fxzero666]

To me, this is essentially "Hellraiser" in space but way more terrifying.

[@LoveLaurenn]

Thank you McPh 😊I have never seen anything like this movie before! It really threw me for a loop😇

I've always believed that this movie was connected to the Hellraiser franchise. The hyperdrive on the Event Horizon functioned as a much larger Lament Configuration. Weir definitely looked like a Cenobite by the end.

[@brianmartin6486]

P.S. Someone probably explained already , but basically wherever the ship went , which is strongly implied to be literal Hell, it took on it's essence and was pretty much possessed itself , and started messing with the minds of the crew of the Clark once they boarded.

[@Italian69Boi]

3:00 "is that a crucifix?" YES good catch lol an upside down one because the front of ship is at the bottom

[@ShamblesMD]

I still wanna believe the theory that this takes place in the Warhammer 40k universe, but I can't remember if the writer hinted at it or not...

[@ShockArcl1te]

Many believe this is the first, unofficial 40k movie.

[@FIEFA22_]

If any movie needs a reboot or prequel it definitely should be Event Horizon. The things they originally had planned for this film would've made it a better horror/ sci fi film. I believe they could've gotten away with some stuff they wanted to do but couldn't back then.

[@LoveLaurenn]

Would love to see a prequel or even a sequel to this film! That would be something to see for sure😱Thank you for watching Tremayne!

[@KthulhuXxx]

@@LoveLaurenn The sequel is called Warhammer 40K. Not really, but the Warhammer 40K community has kind of adopted this movie as an unofficial prequel to their universe.

[@S_047]

@@KthulhuXxx this film is the best advertisement for the use of a Gellar field.

[@acook]

@@KthulhuXxx Interesting to know! I should check it. I have my personal adoptions/better sequels for T1&T2. In order: The Second Renaissance, The Matrix, Nier Automata

[@patrickyearwood1421]

I would love to see a prequel to this movie showing what exactly happened to the original crew

[@IBadmagicI]

Pleasant surprise seeing someone reacting to this movie, not seen many opinions on it. Further into the video, I'd agree with the Alien comparisons to the feel of the universe, what I would describe as the lived in look. There are also some very compelling arguments that suggest a link between the universe in this movie with the one in the Warhammer 40K universe.

[@LoveLaurenn]

I could definitely see a link between the two films which was actually kind of cool to see since I am also a fan of ALIEN😊I was really unsure about this movie at first because I had literally never heard of it, but pleasantly surprised with how much I liked it. I have never seen Sam Neill in a movie besides Jurassic Park so it was cool to see him in a different setting and story. I appreciate your feedback Badmagic! Thank you for watching🙏

[@micketm3]

Ya... its Chaos... immaterium... warp :) Blood for the blood god, skulls for the skull throneee !!! :)) They got corrupted by Chaos demons... :) ...definitely .. perhaps :))

[@samieltheinfamous]

It has also been suggested that Event Horizon is connected to Hellraiser.

[@Ycekhold]

@@micketm3 Despite the blood and gore involved, I think this story seems less in line with the Blood God, and more in line with She Who Thirsts, especially when considering all the parts that were left out.

[@richardb6260]

If you want another horror film with Sam Neill, try John Carpenter's In the Mouth of Madness.

[@argent-kestrel90]

A classic movie. Lovecraftian type horror is super-spooky to me.

[@TerryNationB7]

29:14 I love Sean Pertwee's delivery of lines! 'This ship... is f***ed'. Now I feel like watching him in Dog Soldiers (2002) again, another great horror movie.

[@secretbeast]

Event Horizon is like "Sphere" but in space instead of the bottom of the ocean.

[@annaolson4828]

This is a movie where the missing footage is super noticeable. The best explanation I've theorized is the chaos dimension wants more victims, hence why it's trying to lure people to the Event Horizon. It uses the "hallucinations" to convince people to stay on the ship.

[@SamuelBlack84]

It has such wonderful things to show you 😅

[@Tacoluvsgotes]

This movie still scares me. The scene in the computer "tunnle" where everything is green still creeps me the fuck out!! Sam is super creepy at the end. Your reactions again were absolutely amazing! I don't want to wait a week for the next one!

[@GreenArrowHunter]

Movie recommendations: Darkman (1990) Mimic (1997) Congo (1996) Sphere (1998) Habitat (1997).

[@kieronball8962]

Laurenn, not only did I absolutely love your reactions to this amazing film, but I was also very impressed by your editing skills in the making of this video.

[@michaelccozens]

The bits where the movie was being atmospheric and I kept catching vague impressions of a face in the background were definitely extra-spooky!

[@jamesgarner8262]

Dr. Weir: (talking to Miller) You can't leave. She won't let you. Captain Miller: (talking to Dr. Weir) You just get your gear and head on to the Lewis and Clark, Doctor, or you'll find yourself walkin' home. Dr. Weir: I am home.

[@fabianmonge6765]

This film is pure cosmic horror

[@UberWraith]

Well, the door is 'similar' because it WAS of the Event Horizon. Remember, the Lewis and Clark was blown up. The three survivors escaped in the detached portion of the haunted ship...

[@michaelccozens]

@@UberWraith Yeah, I think the implication is that whatever evil the Ship picked-up may not have been contained solely in the gravity-drive chamber. That would certainly fit with the repeated notes about the whole vessel giving off low-level life signs. When you design a ship with coffin-shaped hallways, you gotta expect that sort of possibility.

[@singledad1313]

Another thing to point out is in the final scene when Weir visor raises up Stark sees his face as it only appears AFTER he got sucked out into space and brought back by the ship. Stark has never seen that visage, only Captain Miller has. She doesn't have a memory of that for her to hallucinate about. Her seeing it like that after being rescues implies they never got away.

[@silverfoenix]

My understanding is The ship achieved sentience after journeying to Hell... it keeps the souls of the crew on board hence the false positive on life signatures! Also the ship has a very black heart :P

[@SamuelBlack84]

Blacker than mine? 🖤

[@duncancaswah7214]

Fantastic video Lauren and kudos to you for finishing the movie! Audiences were absolutely stunned during test screenings and the theatrical release. Many couldn't even finish the movie. The movie has an interesting legacy, and I feel it gets better with time. I'm looking forward to next week's video!

[@chameleonvr4]

Hey Laurenn! Shout out from the US Marine Corps! I loved your reaction to this movie! I actually saw this at Camp Schwab in Okinawa in the theatre when I was in the Marines! Thank you for bringing back such a wonderful memory! In the Mouth of Madness is another good Sam Neil horror flick! Love watching reactions with ya! I don't want to scare ya but my X looked like you! I consider that a good thing! Kekek Anyways, can't wait to watch more w/ ya! "Dee Dee!" ❤🤍💙💛

[@shainewhite2781]

Sam Neill said yes to this movie, rather than star in the sequel to JURASSIC PARK, THE LOST WORLD: JURASSIC PARK 2. I was upset he didn't return, until JURASSIC PARK 3 and the upcoming JURASSIC WORLD 3 DOMINION.

[@awakeatnight7668]

I didn't fully appreciate this movie when I saw it for the first time a few years ago. I think a big part of that was because I couldn't make sense of the insanity that I just watched lol The set design and music design are top notch, and there are some really entertaining performances in here. It's also spot on that you drew many comparisons to Alien, because Paul Anderson is a huge Alien fan, and he definitely drew inspiration from that film.

[@corporalhicks9551]

Anderson is definitely a big Alien fan. Ironically enough he went on to direct Alien vs Predator.

[@LoveLaurenn]

This movie was nothing like what I was expecting! I'm glad I gave it a watch because it was really well done, despite all of the obvious Alien comparisons that could be found in the movie lol. That actually stood out to me so much, it really had a similar vibe in some scenes so reading that the director is a fan makes a lot of sense where he drew his inspiration. Thank you for doing such an amazing job editing this video Awake, you knocked it out of the park. I'm glad you ended up enjoying the movie more than you thought you would😊eeee appreciate you🥰

[@WolfHreda]

If you ask me, they were begging for trouble the moment they named a ship after the part of a black hole that begets your inevitable doom.

[@SkullAngel002]

6:23 - The reason you're getting an Alien vibe is because the idea of "Hypersleep" is a very real concept in the science community. Many serious sci-fi moviemakers consult engineers & astronauts to add a degree of authenticity in their movies and examples like Alien (1979), Event Horizon (1997), Interstellar (2014), The Martian (2015), etc. all incorporate elements of the reality of space travel. To give you some perspective of the sheer distance, it took the Voyager 2 satellite 12 years to reach Neptune after leaving Earth in 1977. It was traveling at 19 kilometers per second (42,000 mph) so it would be necessary to put astronauts in hypersleep so they age slower (or not at all). Otherwise, people would reach old age and most likely go nuts trying to pass the time in a moving tin can during the long voyage from point A to point B. 43:20 - To clarify the confusion, yes the ship came back "haunted" (more specifically possessed). Regarding the plot deviation, they were trying to mix elements of a supernatural demonic-hell type reality with classic sci-fi. This actually isn't crazy considering scientists have theorized the existence of a multiverse (multiple realities & dimensions).

[@rdale2k5]

If you've ever heard of or played the video game "Dead Space" the creator of the game (Glen Schofield) said the aesthetic for the game was heavily influenced by this film.

[@LoveLaurenn]

I have actually played all of the Dead Space games and loved them! Absolutely terrifying, I still wish Isaac ran just a little faster lol. Thanks for this suggestion Mr. GoodKat, great game! Thanks for watching

[@jimtatro6550]

This movie is all about atmosphere. I love how the spaceship looks like something out of a Gothic novel. The Director went on to do most of the resident evil movies and death race. This is still his best movie.

[@LoveLaurenn]

They really nailed the atmosphere in this movie, the whole vibe was on point! I actually had no idea that the director also did the resident evil films and went on to do one of the alien films to I believe? Really cool to see a film like this, I enjoyed it thoroughly😊I appreciate your feedback Jim! Thank you for watching my video🙏

[@SaRENRampaiger]

Some critics called this movie Amityville horror in space. Pretty accurate

[@michaelccozens]

Fair enough, although they're a bit late to the party on that comparison. I think it was the writers of "Alien" who pitched it as "a haunted house in space".

[@jimhuffman9434]

I would say this film is more like "The Shining" but in space

Warhammer 40.000: When the Warp shields fails, the movie. For those not knowing, in the Grimdark ScyFy univers of Warhammer 40.000( stands for the year, the 41st millenium), Mankinds most used means of Faster than Light travel through the Galaxy, is Warp jumping... Wich is...moe or less how it works in the movie. Ships punch a Hole in teh Fabric of time, space and reality, to travel through an Alternative Dimension made up of raw Psychic Energy, called the Warp (also the Empyrean, the Sea of Souls etc) Warp travels in itself is allready pretty dangerous, cause the Warp is a dimension where the Laws of Physics loosely applies if not at all, the flow of time is different, and sometimes reversed in some of its regions, and its absolutly impossible to have a fix navigation route, since the place is ever shifting/morphing, since its composed of the raw Psychic manifestation of EVERY LIVING ORGANISMS of the Galaxy (their thoughts, emotions etc, so to say their souls) The only way Warp travels are possible is because the Imperial Navy uses Psykers, mutated humans, that has a specific genetic mutation that allows them to tap into the raw power of the Warp, and use it as Psychic abilities and plot a course through the Warp( think like the Navigators in DUNE) And the Astronomican, a Gigantic Psychic beacon emanating from Terra( Earth), generated by the God-Emperor of Mankind, who is enshrined in the Golden Throne device, where the Emperor's Broken body is enthombed for the last 10.000 years, this Beacon acts as a Light house visible in the Warp throughout the Galaxy, and is the ONLY fixated point of reference that Navigators can use to plot a course. AND ALL THAT, is without the OTHER dangers of the Warp... The Gods of Chaos and their minions, the Chaos Daemons, embodied manifestations of Livings things raw emotions, psyché and nightmares... Emotional manifestations made "flesh" with a Dark and Malicious intellect and Twisted personality, that only aspire to consume and torture the inhabitants of the Physical World... Basically Hell, Humans in the far futur, will litteraly travel through Hell and face off Daemons to go place to place... So 40k fans, as dubbed Event Horizon, the most percect representation of what happens, when a Warp jump goes wrong...

[@chaircat]

Another great reaction! This film is certainly one wild ride and it was fun to watch it keep you on your toes hehe. I thought it was kinda funny you started with a little Phasmo vision seeing crucifixes everywhere when the ship went on a trip to hell haha. I dont know what reaction you have lined up next but I'll be here for sure and I'll try to catch you on Twitch more often!

[@LoveLaurenn]

Thank you Graham! I totally agree, this was not a ride I was prepared for either lol. Yeah!!!! Idk if that's just a coincidence that the ship looks like a crucifix or if that's intentional but that was an observation I made early on. By the end of the movie I felt like perhaps it was intentional that this ship that has gone to hell and back is shaped like a crucifix😅pretty freaky stuff! I appreciate your feedback Graham and thank you for watching my video. I look forward to seeing you around on Twitch!😊

[@dragonmac1234]

This was one of those films that went unnoticed by me until I watched the Resident Evil movies and saw that Paul W S Anderson also directed this. I like stories where the fear factor slowly ramps up (for me The Thing is a perfect example), and the creeping terror here make this one of my favourites

[@LoveLaurenn]

YES I also enjoy movies that have a build up and Event Horizon definitely did. I really enjoyed how well it utilized audience imagination throughout the film. I kept imagining what horrible things and places that ship has probably seen😶When the guy got pulled into the blackhole and he came out traumatized, my mind was running rampant with all the possibilities of what could be inside that black hole. I enjoyed that the most I'd say. Really underrated film! No one really talks about this film which is a shame. Really glad I watched it! I appreciate your feedback Mark, thank you for watching!😊

[@hussmoosbally8929]

Hi, loved your reaction to this film. I took my wife to the cinema to watch this on release thinking it was a pure sci-fi film and on coming out she beat on me all the way to the car park as she hates horror!! Also i found your observation at the start about a crucifix great as the design of the ship was meant to emulate a cathedral from above so you got the correct vibe for it, so subliminally it is meant to put you on edge from the start, but you cannot pin down the reason for this.

[@gordondavis6168]

This movie is the horror version of Disney’s The Black Hole: small rescue ship finds a huge gothic experimental Earth ship which has been missing for years.

[@FireTiger941]

This film is like a mix of Alien, Hellraiser, and The Shining. I highly recommend watching Hellraiser and The Shining next! I always look forward to your videos. Your smile brightens my day :)

[@LoveLaurenn]

wehhhh thank you FireTiger! That is really kind of you to say, reading your comment made me smile. The Shining is actually one of my favorite movies, and Hellraiser I saw a long time ago (might give that a rewatch at some point in the future and then I can finally see the second Hellraiser). I appreciate the recommendations FireTiger and thank you for watching my video😊

[@ThreadBomb]

@@LoveLaurenn You should try to get hold of the later version of The Shining, known as the European Cut. It was Kubrick's final version of the film, and is tighter and IMO more effective. It removes some scenes that were redundant and slowed the film too much, and also removes the silly skeletons from the climax.

[@riveraharper8166]

It was like a haunted house in space with some Alien vibe. Well in an another sci-fi universe, the Warhammer 40k if you travel faster than light in space you indeed reach a hellish chaos realm and it possesses the ships inhabitants. Here they took somewhat similar idea. Also nice to realise that Sam Neill is a good horror movie actor too. Pre-Matrix Laurence Fishburne also did a good job. Great reaction. :)

[@LoveLaurenn]

I'm glad you enjoyed my reaction Rivera! Sam Neill is definitely a good horror movie actor I agree! I was picking up major alien vibes but I liked it, could tell that the director was inspired by alien off the get go so wasn't surprised to learn that that was factual. Really cool concept for a movie, space alien vibes with haunted space ship. Pretty wild! First time ever seeing something like this so was really cool to see hehe. Thanks for watching Rivera!😊

[@STNRawyn]

I did not have a good night's sleep after I watched this for the first time. Alone. In the dark. Still makes me uneasy when Weir enters the core shafts or baby bear is in the airlock. One of my favorites nonetheless. 'Hell' is only a word...

[@HptmFrey]

A completely underrated masterpiece! Especially if you know, that Anderson had to scratch about an hour of the movie (development of characters) and in that further 15 min of gore scenes.

[@RiffHarvester]

I love that your expression almost the entire time was disgust crossed with confusion.

[@scottstevens7639]

Fun fact; some of the sets, like the long, round hallway and some of the model ship exteriors were reused for the feature film adaptation of “Lost in Space”, which came out the following year.

[@MultiKillerjoe]

It takes their nightmares and makes it a reality for a short time but it's power grows if the portal is opened. they went into a hell dimention which made the ship come to life it became a place of pain and suffering think of a mechanical demon.

[@Minion_of_Cthulhu]

I'm so glad you watched this one! I had a feeling you would like it. The longer video length was great, too. I think you've been recommended Hellraiser a few times. You might want to watch that one and compare it to Event Horizon. The two share a lot of thematic elements and some of the visuals are quite similar as well. There's even a fan theory that the two films take place in the same cinematic universe.

[@LoveLaurenn]

I'm really glad I watched this one too! I appreciate your feedback Jason, wanted to make the videos longer since so many requested it so I'm glad to read you enjoyed the longer video. It would be cool to rewatch Hellraiser and compare it to Event Horizon since it's been YEARS since I've seen Hellraiser. That is really cool I did not know about this fan theory! That would be wild if that were true that they took place in the same universe! Thank you for watching Jason😊

[@ThreadBomb]

I'd say it's closer in tone to Hellraiser 2.

[@damiencrespan8957]

I love how you said you didn't understand the plot as you said exactly what the plot was. The Ship went to hell and came back possessed...

Re: space communication. Even though radio signals move at light speed, the distances involved in interplanetary travel are so vast that comms become very difficult. Even Mars requires about a 20-minute turnaround when sending and receiving messages from Earth. There's a sci-fi concept called an "ansible", or a comms device that somehow permits instant communication over such distances, but it's still mostly a plot device, though it will be crucial to any kind of farther-flung colonization (assuming human civilization survives that long, which is a very, very long bet at the moment). You might be able to base such tech on quantum entanglement (AKA "spooky action at a distance"), but that's still in its infancy, and has some very disturbing implications regarding time, the transmission of information, and their impact on the possibility of free will (fun thought experiment: "time" may be purely an artifact of human perception. Higher physics doesn't seem to require it at all). Fishburne has the most logical reaction of any horror-movie character ever; "We're leaving". He's maybe beat by that one Wayans from one of the "Scary Movie" films, who reacts to finding out he's in a "Paranormal Activity" house by immediately throwing his shit in a moving van and peeling out. Another "blue-collar space" movie from around this time that often gets overlooked is "Soldier", starring Kurt Russell. The dude playing Cooper here was mostly known at the time as the no-nonsense bailiff on "Judging Amy". It was pretty fun to watch him lean into this role.

Good question about up and down in space, I remember that exact question is addressed in “Ender’s Game”. Yes, there is no up in space.

If you enjoy Sam Neil as much as I do, try 'Dead Calm'. Excellent thriller. Also he is excellent in Lovecraft horror 'In The Mouth Of Madness.'

[@LoveLaurenn]

I really enjoyed Sam Neill's performance in this film, it was like nothing I've ever seen him in before so that was really cool to see. Mostly have just seen him in Jurassic Park from when I was a kid. Definitely a fan! I will have to checkout your recommendations I appreciate that a ton. Thank you for watching SecretBeast😊

[@damianstarks3338]

Fantastic reaction to this classic sci fi space horror movie. This takes me right back to my childhood. This movie does have a phenomenal soundtrack by the way. You are spot on with your comparisons at 5:49 6:22

[@ArmyGrunt1986]

9:16 They did a great job making a tablet and not only knowing they would be common in the future but also be used in space. Remember this film was released in 1997, we were still using Nokia phones.

[@Atlas_Redux]

Holy shit, your tattoo is absolutely stunning! That is all. Oh, and great reaction to a severely underrated movie ;)

[@michaelcoulter1725]

Back in 97 I saw this movie as a kid this is one of my all-time favorite horror movies

[@corporalhicks9551]

I love that you noticed the Alien vibes! lol I wish there was a prequel, sequel, or even reboot of Event Horizon. It sorely needs another film. This was a blast. Thank you for another great video Lauren!

[@LoveLaurenn]

lol I picked up on the Alien vibes like RIGHT AWAY😂Alien is actually still pretty fresh in my mind since having watched it not that long ago, was kind of cool to see how the director took inspiration. OMG a prequel or sequel to this movie would be so cool! I don't know if they exist but if they do I want to see them lol. I appreciate your feedback Corporal, thank you for watching😊

[@SamuelBlack84]

They're adapting it into a TV series

[@shainewhite2781]

Saw this film with my family on VHS and it scared the hell out of us! They released the the movie on Blu Ray in 2017 and again in 2021, with new interviews. There is even a special Director's Cut that sadly will never see the light if day as most of the gory bloodier footage has disintegrated in a Transylvania Salt Mine. The extended blood orgy scene was so strong audience members felt sick to their stomach so it was from the movie.

[@LoveLaurenn]

I heard about the director's cut! wehhh it's too bad no one will ever get to see it🥺This movie was nothing like what I was imagining so it was really cool to watch and see how everything played out. Can't believe I have only just recently heard of this movie. Thank you for watching Shaine!😊

[@SamuelBlack84]

Even the limited amount of that you do see I find very disturbing, especially the scream of the woman sounding so lifelike😱Reminds me of the Crossed comics

[@benmason9755]

Since you clearly enjoyed it (despite the confusion), I would therefore HIGHLY recommend another sci-fi horror movie calleed Pandorum, which is a sort of spiritual sequel to this (Paul Anderson even produced it). It's got the same super creepy atmosphere and is a spectacularly well-designed, well-crafted suspenseful thrill-ride, and it's also even darker and with greater kinds of existentialist themes underpinned throughout. Generally it's a must see if you love Event Horizon.

[@ukaszhaskie1526]

Also great lovecraft horror movies are Lighthouse (2019), The Void (2016), In Mouth of Madness (1993), Firebase (2018, short film), Color out of Space (2019). Also good one, but not cosmic horror, is Mandy with Nic Cage.

[@ChantingInTheDark]

We wanted to go to the movies one weekend, didn't know what to watch, we just turned up to see what was playing, we chose Event Horizon, we had ZERO clue about the story or what we were about to see. It was soooooo messed up! Some genuinely creepy moments in it. Loved it!

[@SamuelBlack84]

Be glad you haven't seen my imagination on the big screen. It would genuinely make you cry and slam your fists in anger 😌

[@ridleysaria]

Event Horizon is an example of a “cosmic horror” film. Like Lovecraftean horror it deals with the incomprehensible terror of the unknown. It’s like the Event Horizon went to a place so alien and terrifying that the human mind can’t handle it. It’s not literally hell but might as well have been. I think space is such a great horror movie setting because space is endless, dangerous and completely foreign. It’s scary to think of everything that could be out there. 😨

[@SamuelBlack84]

I've always been fascinated by the Dark dimension and what it's like there. I picture it as a reality where every form of evil exists magnified a trillion times. Amplified chaos, anguish, suffering etc

[@cosmicdraco7041]

Absolutely great video Laurenn. This film is truly incredible and amazing. Sam Neill is awesome. Keep being you. I recommend in the mouth of madness.

[@aaroncollins6411]

Ahh yes, Event Horizon. Aka The Shining in space or Alien if the entire ship is the Xenomorph!

[@JohnPalb]

What I like about Event Horizon is that it deals solely with the human psyche. It references a dimension outside of the known universe, and seems to imply that the ship itself might be alive, or infested with some form of life, but all we see is how the human mind interprets what it's experiencing while aboard this sliver of the unknown dimension, The Event Horizon. Its the incomprehensible that drives the horror here, I think. And the brief clip of the previous crew shows what direct exposure to this unknown dimension does to a person, driving them to unfathomable acts of insanity, cruelty and base sensation. The why of it remains unknown, only that such a dimension exists and is now accessible is understood. And I think the question remains, if we were able to reach this dimension and expose it to the technology required to travel there, and for that tech to remain there for seven years, what might the denizens of that dimension have learned that might allow them to reach back toward us? It's too bad the box office wasn't very kind to this film, as it seems primed for a sequel to explore just that question. There were reports a few years ago that Amazon Prime was developing a series based on the film, but I haven't read anything recently about that development progressing. Anyway, this was fantastic to watch Lauren, thanks for putting up one of my favorite sci-fi cosmic horror films. Oh, and don't think I didn't notice my comment being on screen, I'm glad I was counted as one of the ones who pushed you toward this '90's cult classic. lol That said, I think I'll join in with the many comments on this already; If you enjoy Sam Neill, I definitely suggest following up at some point with "In the Mouth of Madness". It's another one of those '90's horror cult classics I think you might like. Take care, be well, and Enjoy the Day!

[@SamuelBlack84]

One thing I like about this film is that it gives a clear, brutal vision of Hell. Nothing rock and roll, nothing cool or elegant. Just pain

[@TheTenth666]

Ending : they're not safe The ship went to he'll and brought a bit of he'll with it

[@toddhill7483]

The ship came back a living thing. This scared the crap out of me the first time I saw it.

If you like Sam Neil you should check out In the mouth of madness. Creepy as hell.

[@LoveLaurenn]

I appreciate the recommendation Chris! Thank you for watching😊

[@gordondavis6168]

How come, when we make contact with another dimension, it is never the playful puppy pocket universe or the darling duckling dimension ? (The Mist, Hellraiser, Event Horizon).

[@SamuelBlack84]

Because, reality isn't a nice place

[@jorgeluismendezrogers297]

it wasn't about the ship being haunted, but that when it came back to our dimension the ship came now alive itself from hell

[@Metzwerg74]

in this case an alien infestation would have felt like summer vacation... i think... love your reactions, by the way.....

[@iaido7]

If you love Sam Neil, you should watch In the Mouth of Madness, it's his favorite movie he worked on.

[@mikeman2862]

This film heavily inspired Dead Space 1

[@-Gurza-]

Basically the gateways that the ship travels through to reach its destination opened the way to a Hell dimension between both points (or this universe's iteration of actual Hell). Being exposed to it drove the original crew mad, and seeded the ship with malevolent sentience emanating from the core.

[@j9lorna]

This is the kind of movie you'd expect to see a couple of squads of terminator marines boarding

Now Event Horizon always reminds of Chris and Carl on Family Guy.

[@S_047]

Another fun fact, this movie had about an hour of cut content (more gore, scares and character moments) that was lost because the film was stored in a salt mine in Romania (or somewhere like that)

[@andrzejgogoek9402]

This move was taken by Warhammer 40k community as a warhammer movie of early human advantures in the warp (hell dimension)

You should google the Warp from Warhammer 40K to give you a better idea of what happened to that ship... this movie has a lot in common with that franchise, everything from the possessed ship to faster than light travel taking you through hell is reminiscent of Warhammer.
