Review of Event Horizon (1997) by Dann M — 20 Oct 2013
Event Horizon is a terrifying science-fiction horror film from Paul Anderson. When a spaceship that has been to the edge of the universe mysteriously returns after having gone missing for 7 years, a search and rescue mission is sent to investigate; but they soon discover that the ship has brought something back with it.
Featuring Laurence Fishburne, Sam Neill, Jason Isaacs, and Joely Richardson, the film has a strong cast. And, Anderson does a good job creating an intense and frightening atmosphere. Additionally, the set designs are especially good and make for an interesting futuristic look.
However, there are some problems with the tone, and the gore is a bit gratuitous. Frightening and horrific, Event Horizon is an impressive dark thriller.
