Review of Event Horizon (1997) by Scott J — 27 Dec 2010
This movie started out with promise, but about half way through the movie it became apparent that this was just another trite addition to the horror movie genre (the setting just happened to be in space).
This is not really a science fiction film, not so much because it is a "scary" film (as Alien demonstrated so well that science fiction and horror indeed can be melded into an effective movie), but because the story doesn't especially make sense.
The last 1/4th of the film is what really killed it for me. The ending is probably one of the laziest conclusions to a film I have seen. All in all, I would say that if you're looking for a good science fiction movie, Event Horizon is a movie to avoid.
If you're looking for a creepy movie to watch, you may have a higher opinion after watching it than I did.
