Fun story. I met Sean Pertwee at London Comic Con in 2010. I took my limited set (case looks like the hull of the Event Horizon) for him to sign. When I handed it to him he looked at it in shock and said "Where the F*CK did you get this?" He explained that he asked for EVERY version of the film from Director Paul Anderson and to that moment he thought he had. When I said I got it in Asda (UK Walmart) with my groceries it didnt make matters better. He texted Paul Anderson mid-meet about the set. First celeb id ever pissed off. Just last week Sean was here in Scotland at a con with Simon Pegg & Sean Gunn. My boy was at the con and went to see Sean Pertwee to sign his Gotham set. My kid brought up the meet in 2010 and no he didnt remember my face but he remembered the meet at the set. They had a laugh about it and how pissed he was and to this day he still doesnt have that version of Event Horizon😂

When he said that, I said "THANK YOU!" in the theater. 😆 I saw this at least 3x in the theater because it creeped me out and gave me the chills so much, I wanted to show other people. I took two other people, separately, and I think they hated me for it 'cause it freaked them out. They looked traumatized afterward. They were like, "THAT WAS HORRIBLE!" I said, "Horrible because it's bad or horrible because it creeped you out?" They were like, "The latter," and I said "Well, then it did its job well." Another time when I said "Thank you!" was when they played the log back the first time with just the audio and the pilot, Sean Pertwee, said, "What the fucking hell was THAT?!" These are the things that make a good horror movie, when the people involved do and say what they are supposed to do in these crazy situations and it still doesn't matter. Too many times characters are written to be stupid so they can fall into whatever misfortune lies ahead. Running straight into a buzzsaw, figuratively (and sometimes literally).

That's exactly what I thought when I saw this movie back in 1997: it's a mix of 2010 (a team is sent to find a lost spaceship), Hellraiser, Stargate and the video game Doom (the portal leading directly to hell). It is a shame that the footage with the gore scenes that were eliminated from the final cut due to pressure from the studio is completely lost.

One of the most underrated Sci Fi Horror Thriller Films ever made! The original cut of the movie was 130 minutes but the producers cut it down to 97 minutes as the film contained gory bloodier footage that caused the test audience to feel sick to their stomach. There were talks of a director's cut, yet most of the cut footage may be lost or destroyed.

[@memnarch129]

The footage was found, in a salt mine in Transylvania of all places. But because of that environment and improper storage the film was damaged where only a few minutes at best where usable, so it was abandoned. But there is always hope that somewhere out there there is another copy of the footage.

[@Wrencher_86]

@@memnarch129 I've seen a lot of people talk about wanting to see the extended version. But I really don't think that's necessary unless you're just really into gore-porn. You get the idea of the horror of the ship perfectly well from what you see in this cut. And as Jen mentions, those quick flashes are pretty effective at leaving an impression.

[@lennyvalentin6485]

Sometimes less is more. Stuff cut out of a movie is very often cut for a good reason when gore is involved. At some point it stops being scary and just turns into disgusting and sickening, which is a different genre of movie. :P Like with the cut scenes from "Alien" for example, none really add anything worthwile to the near-perfection of the cinematic cut.

[@guaposneeze]

~1997 was right in a sweet spot where VFX was either terrible or amazing. It was a few years after Jurassic Park, so everybody was focused on CGI. But there was still a ton of expertise in great model work and practical effects that hadn't been pushed aside, and studios were still used to budgeting for prop, set, and model construction on pictures. Event Horizon is horrifying, but it perfectly balanced the novel CGI with the traditional, at a time when a toooooon of movies were doing really terrible looking CGI monsters that didn't hold up at all.

Hi Jen! Really enjoy your videos. Some recommendations: 1- Somewhere near Event Horizon on the Sci-Fi/Horror Venn diagram is Annihilation (2018). More of a meditative slow-burn at first, but it goes off the rails. It. Gets. BONKERS. And with how much you always appreciate the music/soundtrack.... There is more than one scene where the visuals + the sound are almost too much. 2- Under the Skin(2013) - Even more meditative and spooky, a lot less kinetic than Annihilation. A sci-fi fever dream. Absolutely unique and unnerving. Scarlett Johansson at her low-key best. 3- Arrival (2016) - No horror, all very smart sci-fi. Turns most of the "alien" tropes on their head. When the big reveal happens - it gets existential. Also SUPER emotional. Amy Adams will break your heart. And the soundtrack- wow. One piece of music is included in the credits like it is a character (for good reason). It hits like a ton of bricks. Much like Memento, you can only have the initial experience once, but rewatches reveal new layers and make it resonate even more. 4- Jacobs Ladder (1990) - this is a great, old school Horror-adjacent film. Supernatural thriller? A post-Bull Durham Tim Robbins, an angelic Danny Aiello. And an adorable, pre- Home Alone McCauley Culken. A deeply unsettling movie from Adrian Lyne, the director of Fatal Attraction, 9 1/2 Weeks and Unfaithful. Some wildly disturbing imagery that will stick with you. 5- Requiem for a Dream (2000) - A non-horror movie that is one of the more horrifying movie experiences. Often referred to as "the best movie I have ever seen that I never want to see again". Brilliant and moving film but do not watch if you are not in a good head space. You will be changed. Amazing acting. Crazy cinematography/editing. Face-melting soundtrack by Clint Mansell.

11:35 This is interesting, seeing a lensing effect like that, because similar visual effects can be seen in observatory footage of black holes because it shows the area behind as bent light around them due to their much greater mass and stronger gravitational presence. Also, due to recorded evidence from at least two interferometers on nearly opposite sides of the planet, the existence of gravitational waves has been proven. The ones detected by our interferometers had traveled an incredible distance and so had weakened significantly, so to see an intense gravitational wave propagate from the core of the _Event Horizon_ and cause such damage makes sense.

"Fold. The. Paper!" I'm not positive but i think this might be the movie that popularized the whole "fold a paper in half to explain wormholes" thing. I'm sure its come up other places, but I think this was the first demonstration for a mainstream audience. This is probably one of my favorite all time horror films. The gore is used sparingly and effectively, without being overloaded on the viewer. Every character behaves rationally, intelligently, and competently (with the obvious exception of Weir), doing their absolute best to survive while demonstrating that they are exceptional professionals who are very good at their jobs. It just doesn't matter, because reality is falling apart around them 😂. Captain Miller just saying "fuck this, fuck your ship, fuck this mission, we're leaving" is probably the most relatable thing I've ever seen a character do in a horror movie. 10/10 in my book. And a fun factoid: many people consider this an unofficial Warhammer 40k movie. If you know the lore of the universe, this movie is a FANTASTIC representation of how The Warp works there. 😂

[@Daveyboy100880]

Yeah, I laughed when they used the exact same thing in Interstellar!

[@RobertDPore]

All the way back in 1963, the book "A Wrinkle In Time" included a version of this using a piece of string instead of paper. There might have been a Heinlein novel that preceeded this, but I'm not certain.

A lot of gory stuff and drawn out horror was deleted and lost, but one thing we do know is that the "Weirbeast" at the end was supposed to be materialized in the water tank (causing the blood flood) and after Cooper and Starck fall from the ladder, we would see a skinless Weirbeast crawling down (this last shot is shown in the few deleted scenes extras). So when Starck calls Miller and we hear "we gotta get outta here", in the script she'd say "Miller, he's coming for you!" and he would be attacked by the Weirbeast/Burning Man. That's why Starck sees it in her nightmare at the end. In fact, during production one of the lost versions of the ending had the Burning Man the entire time instead of the Weirbeast. And in the original script draft it claimed to NOT be Weir, but something far older that saw the Beginning and will see the End.

Great reaction, love it when new people encounter the Event Horizon. One of my favourite movies, no cap. I saw this in the cinema, and it was decently dark outside when we went in but it was sooo dark when we came out again.... Best part is the way it was pitched as just a straight sci-fi movie, ha ha.... Naturally, anytime i pitch it to someone who hasn't seen it now i have to do to the same thing.... XD

[@yodasears]

In the cinema, when they reached the EH through the clouds was an incredible moment.

[@martinlatour9311]

I watched this when I was 9 and that scene in the green duct with the flashing lights scared the hell out of me. It was seared into my brain for weeks

[@SeanTube2099]

One of the best budget Sci-Fi horror films around.

[@paulfromnewcastle9522]

Checkout Dog 🐕 Soldiers great movie 🎬

[@iandavies6574]

Pandorium next then? "Spiritual successor"

[@Ariannus]

I generally don't enjoy horror movies but Event Horizon has always been the perfect mix of SciFi and Horror to make me love it.

[@nomadman5288]

I remember seeing this in the theater as a kid with my friends and their mom. We all wanted to see it, so she took us. Fast forward: when we got back, I had to walk home which was like 100 yards away,. It was like 10 o'clock at night, so naturally I sprinted all out the entire way given. Then when I got home, my parents weren't there because they had gone to the store, so I locked every door and turned on every light. I was feeling pretty confident.

[@LuminairPrime]

I knew Doctor Jen would eventually cross the umbilicus to Event Horizon. I'm so glad she returned. Or did she? PS: I love the "Home Alone" AHHHH hands on face thumbnails, Jen! 😱👻

[@bluebirdsigma]

The "science mumbojumbo" scene actually makes sense. Gravitons are a hypothetical "gravity particle" the same way light exists in the form of photons. The Weyl Tensor is a measure of the curvature of spacetime, which we know is bent by gravity as in black holes. A singularity, specifically a gravitational singularity, is the center of a black hole, an infinitely dense point where its mass is contained. The whole explanation means "we discovered gravitons do exist and we generate and concentrate them with magnets according to the known mathematical laws of bending spacetime, until we create a black hole" Since Weir later says the core contains a black hole, it must mean they harness black hole creation to manipulate gravity until the space time around the ship is distorted until a wormhole portal is created.

[@demonofelru3214]

Yup the gravity drive is a real theory, at least according to math and physics. Though we have never found a wormhole yet.

[@DoctorStagger]

I can't wait to see what you make if this one, Jen; then again, it's always entertaining when Canada's sweetheart is in the house. 🤭🥰😘 xxxxx

[@thefly4176]

All I want to say is with this reaction you have become my favorite reaction channel. I love how you watch movies.

[@jenmurrayxo]

Thanks! Glad you're here :)

[@Shadowace724]

Helluva movie. I like the fact the only one that was stupid was Weir. Everybody else was like, nope time to go. Fun reaction Jen

[@cytorakdemon]

"Hell is only a word. The reality is much, much worse."

[@Robert-ht7om]

There are other stories that use that concept of travel, folding space, but usually the opening takes you directly to the other side, but here it's explained that while it folds space it just brings the two points closer there's still some travel involved and it's in the in-between where they find themselves in hell, the only other time I saw anything similar to this was an animated X-Men series with a mutant capable of teleporting from one place to another and in trying to study his ability they slow down the rate of his teleportation and find that he actually travels through another dimension to get to where he wants and that too was a very hell like dimension.

[@Hravokh]

i remember sneaking into the cinema to watch this, since i was too young . good times

[@TerryNationB7]

The first time I watched this movie was at the 2004 Sci-Fi-London 3 Film Festival. It was an all-nighter consisting of Resident Evil, The Thing, Pitch Black and ending with Event Horizon. A great time (started the festival at 10am Saturday morning with The Dark Crystal, then many movies back-to-back, ending with a double bill of 28 Days Later and The X-Files on Sunday afternoon). 30 hours of no sleep goodness!

[@orarinnsnorrason4614]

Michale Kamen did a concert conducting a symphony with Metallica, S&M. They recieved a Grammy for one of the tracks on that concert. He did the score for Kevin Costner's Robin Hood movie, Letha Weapon. Before he died he did X:Men, Tomb Raider and Band of Brothers. He passed in 2003. Great composer Edit: One of the theories surrounding this film is that they are in/or enter Warhammer 40K universe. Really cool Also I really recommend the videos by Critical Drinker. he's a huge fan of the film plus he interviewed one of the actors in another. great stuff

[@locutus9956]

this movie is one of the few that genuinely scared the crap out of me back in the day :P

[@Samstone7Riva]

Three things that convinced me never to go back to horror flicks/books: the orginal The Excorcist, reading the book Amytiville and lastly, Event Horizon. When I was in the Navy I read Amytivlle during the night on the ship in the berthing with red lights on before I went to bed. Yeah, never doing that again.

[@themakkoning]

My fav movie to watch while i fall to sleep and have nothing else to watch. Its such a good flick.

[@rdanns75]

Jen i love u watched this, what an amazing film and cast ❤ brave

[@SilentBob731]

17:20 "Frig off, Movie!" 🤣🤣🤣 Is it any wonder why Jen makes me so much the Smitten Kitten? 😻 33:39 HA! This starts a Twisted Sister video I cobbled together for "Burn In Hell" from, I believe, WatchMojo videos.

[@philhebden]

I saw this at the cinema because i loved paul andersons film shopping. for me at the time it was the scariest film i'd seen since hellraiser. for anyone interested the english lad was sean pertwee whos dad played the third doctor Who

[@LeftyConspirator]

"So what design did you end up using for the gravity drive?" "Oh, 'literal portal to Hell'." "Nice! Strong choice!"

[@jamesgeorge2852]

One of my favourite horror Sci-Fi movies of all time saw it the theatre first day it was released bought it on VHS as well looks like you weren't expecting the horror part lol

[@EL_Duderino68]

I don't usually get disturbed by horror movies but I found the footage from the previous crew on the ship did that.

[@LPVPisFr33]

Went to see in theater when it came out with my future wife. We were pretty shocked after seeing it so when we got home, I turned on the TV to change our minds a bit only to learn Princess Diana had been killed. Weird evening.

[@to0muchtoan]

"When I did Ayahuasca" whoooaaa Jen you badass.

[@mateuszmarciniak2828]

7:45 - speaking of which: Sam Neil was one of the contenders for the role of James Bond after The Roger Moore era
