EVENT HORIZON Story & Ending Explained

[@gollum5964]

I like how the horror in this film isn't scientifically explained like some "alien consciousness" or whatever but is actually supernatural, occult and gothic in nature, which is quite rare in sci-fi horror. Great Lovecraftian horror flick.

[@GiordanDiodato]

I think that's why a lot of people didn't like it at the time. Scifi is pretty... how to say it... rigid about what "is" and "isn't" Scifi. Take Star Wars. That's not considered "true" scifi, but rather Science Fantasy.

This movie was really well done in many aspects. Too bad it wasn't very appreciated at its time. I think the special effects, particularly those regarding the ship itself still hold well to this day.

I went to see this at the cinema and it scared the life out of me even though I knew I was in a cinema with other people. It doesn't seem to scare people as much as it did me. The ending is so piss poor though with a stupid line from Fishburne.

[@nicholasdickens2801]

GrimDark Narrator I always felt the film was far too intelligent for the dumbing down of films. I think from my friends who were more horror fans they weren’t expecting it to be a good horror film. I must admit the marketing was a bit ambiguous in regards to what it is. If they’d promoted it a bit more clearly I’m sure the film would have been a great hit.

William Gregg No. The liberals have done this. They have had exclusive control of Hollywood for many years now. For the most part, the vast majority of movies are either stupid superhero movies, and/or animated, or horrible reboots. And nearly all of them push their ideology in one way or another. Look how hard they pushed Bohemian rhapsody and Queen. They did so simply because he was a homosexual and died of AIDS. That falls in line with their agenda. You sure in the hell won't ever see in movies with a strong white male in the lead anymore. Like a Clint Eastwood. That goes against their agenda.

[@torenatkinson1986]

Direct from Wikipedia "Lovecraftian horror ...emphasizes the cosmic horror of the unknown (or unknowable) more than gore or other elements of shock" I more or less agree with this definition. Event Horizon's "horror" is primarily gore and shock, with Christian iconography thrown in. Very much the polar opposite to Lovecraftian horror, in my opinion. But hey, I'm no expert. Or am I?

@LadyGaGa is hot Exactly. It's nowhere near the quality, or existential dread; of Alien. It's a good movie-very good maybe; but far from great. Greatness is reserved for films like; Alien, Aliens or Wrath of Khan. This falls well short of those lofty heights.

[@rocketassistedgoat1079]

@LadyGaGa is hot Eeerp, wrong. Alien is widely considered; to be a masterpiece and Ridley Scott's best work. It gets 100% on Rotten tomatoes, which means it's objectively great. Aliens is widely considered to be Cameron's best work; it also gets 100%. Wrath of Khan is widely considered to be the only truely great Star Trek film. I've noticed [and I have a major in Art-Theory, so I notice these things], that people who genuinely believe "there is no good or bad music/art, only music/art you like or don't like" A.L.W.A.Y.S every-single-time, without a single exception; have shit taste in music/art, and their collection of the former invariably falls into one of two types; rubbish contemporary pop [and today's top 40 music is mostly rubbish compared to what we had in the '80s and '90s thankyou] or a massive collection of mediocre music. Not interested in subjectivist twaddle, thankyou. The reason some of us bother with university; is to get away from mere "opinion". "Taste is rare"-Immanuel Kant. Everyone thinks they have it, as everyone's a narcissist when it comes to their music collection. Most are sadly deluded. But the cream rises to the top over time regardless, mostly [Hume] because of the consensus of the critics. They don't always get it right-everyone I know thinks Lost Highway is a masterpiece, yet it gets 40% on RT...but the test of time, probably through the slower moving mechanism of word of mouth; will correct that. It always does. The test of time; is the only test that matters. BTW, Lady Gaga has done about two songs which have any chance of surviving the test of time i.e getting radioplay 50yrs from now. But I suppose you're going to tell me she's as consistently good as David Bowie, with dozens of hits?

[@rocketassistedgoat1079]

@LadyGaGa is hot Wrong. I'm just certain now [your whole Lady Gaga obsession was pretty much a giveaway]; that you're one of these people who simply lack taste. In my 42 yrs I have NEVER, not even once, come across someone who thinks "taste in art is purely subjective"; who has good taste. These are always the people; who have objectively the worst taste. Sorriez. You couldn't pay me to listen to your music collection, as I know it will cause me great pain.

[@rocketassistedgoat1079]

​@LadyGaGa is hot Jesus christ, I'll share something with you; "conjugation is consummation"-that's a 3000yr old Greek saying. It means if you can't conjugate complete sentences; you'll never find anyone to marry you. Also, a third of my major is evolutionary psychology. And according to it, we're-ALL of us [exceptions don't matter, as it's not the exception that makes the rule]; hardwired to make snap judgements about the IQ of someone: based on their use of vocabulary and grammar. If English isn't your first language, then you are exempt from all crimes, otherwise...there's no excuse; that barely legible word-salad [conservation of energy...wtf does that have to do with art] you just posted, proves WHY it's a good idea to make these judgements. Furthermore, the word "aesthetic" literally means "to judge". That's what it means. Judging is also an intellectual pursuit. Intellectuals adore it and can't help themselves, others...don't. People who don't judge, who don't exercise that muscle, guess what; it atrophies [assuming they ever had it]. If you don't judge; it's philosophically impossible you will have good taste in anything, really, not just art. The REASON we're so interested in aesthetic judgements as a species, is because of what it tells you about that person; if someone has shit taste in music for example, then they're unlikely to to be a good judge of anything. This is all evo-psyche-from my major, thus I'm quoting the learned opinions of centuries of geniuses, vs...your subjective opinion. I personally know two people who think "it's all subjective, man"; not only do they have the WORST taste, objectively, in music of any people I know, but they're also both very far from intellectuals AND are terrible judges of character too. Perhaps the worst I know there as well; they both think some pretty terrible people are really neat. One of them's usually wrong about absolutely everything too-he's known for never being right about anything. Furthermore, he's careless; and just a few months ago killed a mother of four in a car accident. All of this is related. On the first page of The Great Gatsby [the most famous US novel of all time], the narrator divides all of humanity into careless and careful. Careless folk; are only interested in their own narrow, selfish existence, and always leave a trail of debris in their wake-literal, metaphorical and emotional, which they expect others to clean up after them. Careful people by contrast, tend to have decent taste; as they tend to be more intelligent for starters, have far greater depth of character and are thus more sensitive to innate universal beauties. Any artist worth their salt, will try to isolate these universal beauties; and instill them in their art-that's when the usually decades long journey begins. But you need to be able to recognize them first-and not everyone can do that. "Taste is rare". But if you don't even believe in the possibility of these universals existing...don't become an artist; as you have no chance of producing anything that will survive the test of time. How can I be so sure? I paint naturalistic landscapes in oil, and it's taken me 26yrs to teach myself; as no one knows how to paint like this any more. I make tens of thousands of aesthetic judgements a week, with every brushstroke melting into another brushstroke; so having great taste is essential. 50% of the reason I decided to give my life for art, was because I had the talent, the other 50%; was because I realized I had the taste, and that it was rare. I noticed both in primary school. I also went on to get a major in art-theory at university. But sure, your opinion's as equally valid as mine [facepalm]. As a hardcore radical subjectivist; I KNOW you actually believe that... Anyway, I'm tired of arguing with someone who's clearly an idiot, who lacks taste. If all the critics died and we had to start again, guess what; Alien and Aliens would once-again universally rise to the top. Because regardless of what you think; quality is innate, not subjective.

Dark Dimension actually more resembles the warp from Warhammer 40k, than Doom. Tbh Event Horizon does perfectly fit within the Warhammer Lore as humanity learns about the warp around 4th or 5th millenium if I remember correctly.

[@mantha6912]

Dang, I was going to make a similar comment! Yeah, the movie fits *perfectly* within the context of the Warp and what could happen if you go through it without a gellar field. Frankly if the writers of the script randomly admitted "So we read a little about this thing called 'Warhammer 40,000' and parts of it inspired us to write this movie" I could easily believe it. ...And 40k was going strong by the time they made the film, so it's not even a far-fetched idea!

[@stevepalpatine2828]

The Lewis & Clarkes crew got off lucky actually. What happened to the Eisenstein was way worse. All they had to worry about was a mild Slaaneshi infestation fucking with their minds, imagine if they'd arrived and found the Event Horizon full of Nurgle daemons like the Eisenstein...

[@EvilHomer1973]

Stephen King wrote a short story called "THE JAUNT" and it was something similar to this. His was a WHAT IF centered around a technology like the Star Trek transporters. In this story there were similar ST. transporters, however you had to be unconscious to go through it. In the story there was a boy who decided he wanted to see what it was like to go through awake and somehow faked being unconscious. ****SPOILERS DONT READ FURTHER****** He manages to go through but ends up insane similar to what the Event crew ended up like. He is gibbering about what he saw and it had driven him insane. Basically they emerge instantaneously through the transport, but if awake it feels like you were there for millions of years alone thus driving one mad. The boy starts running amok through the transport station and the story ends there. I think some of this Stephen King short was inspiration to this movie.

[@xenophonicus]

TallicaMan1986 I kind of understood what I was watching, I was like 10 or 11, so I knew I was watching some terrifying version of Star Wars. And with the imagery, cinematography and sound used in the film you don’t really need to understand it for it to scare you. Fear is a base emotion, it’s instinctual, that’s why a lot of horror movies are so derivative, because a lot of things are universally scary, things we’re predisposed-before we’re born-to fear. That’s why so many horror movies are forgetful, but also why the ones that are worth remembering are special. The Japanese simply have a stranglehold on horror right now. I’m not sure what it is about their culture, but they know how to terrify.

It is still the scariest movie I personally have ever watched, and I haven't watched it again since my original viewing. Extremely well done movie overall.

I have had the very same experience with this movie.

[@hariman7727]

This movie didn't really scar me after watching it once... But I have never watched it again since then. I don't need to watch the second time because it was that good, and that utterly unsettling. So for all our sakes, I will posit an alternate theory for the last shot of the movie: The few survivors did manage to escape the evil entity that possessed the Event Horizon, but they are scarred enough that they will be haunted by the experience for the rest of their life. The entity that attached itself to the event horizon was bound to the drive system, and did not make it to Earth.

[@VladTepesVEVO]

I've felt the same way with the first 2 Hellraisers, when I was a kid... I must have watched the first one when I was 10-11 and it scared the ever-loving-shit outta me, to the point where I *refused* to watch it again or even see pictures... many years later I soldiered on and rewatched them, and even though the universe depicted in the movies (the first two are the ones that count, everything else is just fanfic-tier, don't even bother) is very unnerving, they have become my favorite horror movies! But I definitely know what you're saying, "Event Horizon" was one of those movies that, just like Hellraiser, stuck with me however I watched it when I was much older so it wasn't as pants-shittingly impactful as Hellraiser, but just as memorable.

can you explain it pls? i've seen comments on several videos about event horizon and i see a lot of geller space field technology? i know warhammer 40k has an insane lore but i dunno the correlation to this movie. is it the wormhole or purple space dimention thing?

[@BlackBunik]

@@tarapiero It is because to travel the space in WH40k, you must go through the warp. So the warp engines tear the universe a new one, to get to a literal hell, since warp is comprised from emotions of all life forms in the galaxy and possibly the universe. Basically without the gellar field to protect the ship and its occupants from the vile currents of the warp, the ship would be ripe for all kinds of demon incursions and mind infestations. So the Event horizon is basically like one of the first attempts of humanity to travel through the warp before the invention of the gellar field. It fits right into the lore so far without much fan fiction lubrication needed.

[@BlackBunik]

@@tarapiero However since in 40K late history the warp is very unstable and impossible to navigate without the light of the astronomican, that is our holy emperor of mankind sitting on a golden throne on Terra like a shining psychic beacon, there are occasionally ships getting lost in the warp, emerging not only at different place, but even time than intended. Sometimes they can get stuck there even for centuries without the occupants noticing, since time flows differently in the warp. Therefore Astropaths are highly valuable among the crew members. Without them, the ship may be lost in the warp for eternity. Add that to the possibility of Gellar field failure, you will have quite some amount of ships drifting the warp aimlessly without a crew or worse, carrying a demon infestation. These ships sometimes emerge from the warp carrying treasures and long lost technologies. They are called Space Hulks.

[@BlackBunik]

So yeah Event horizon is basically a 40K Space Hulk story, except the crew had no idea what awaits them and they had nothing like Terminator power armor to battle the horrors.

[@Schwarzvogel1]

Hmm, according to some sources, the consequences of travelling in the Warp without Gellar fields are even worse than what happens to the original crew of the _Event Horizon._ Whereas they simply went mad and tortured one another in horrifying ways, exposure to the energies of the Warp can, quite literally turn a person inside out and cause instant mutations. The novella _Corax: Soulforge_ describes this in some detail. Ironically, this happens to the Word Bearers, of all people.

[@hariman7727]

@@Schwarzvogel1 it's likely that the event horizon did a very short hop to test their FTL drive. That would both limit exposure but also have enough time for the ship to be corrupted. Also, the movie was made on a limited budget, it is inspired by instead of being a direct Warhammer 40K movie.

Perhaps the ship itself could be tainted by various Chaos energies to create a unique form of Daemon. If WH40k lore would allow it. As far as the DOOM universe is concerned.

They slaughter because it's always convenient.
