Review of Event Horizon (1997) by Alex R — 31 Jul 2010

A tense thrilling horror film, Event Horizon is one of the best Sci Fi Horror films since Alien. Blending gore and classic elements of old school horror films, Event Horizon is an underrated film. A very effective horror film, Event Horizon is a non stop terrifying outer space nightmare.

Thought obviously not as great as Alien, this film is the best since, because of it's tense and horrifying mood and also because the crew of the rescue ship is in outer space a million light years from home.

Simply terrific. Great acting and great storytelling here. A film definitely not for the faint of heart, Event Horizon is a film that blends the best elements of previous outer space horror films to create something very good.

Maybe not as excellent as Alien, Event Horizon is still a very good film that in my opinion is very underrated. There's definitely something going for it, and it's scary as hell. And if it's scary as hell, then it's a fine horror film that did what it was supposed to do, and that's scary the hell out of you.

Don't believe the critics, this is the best Sci Fi Horror film since Alien, maybe not as legendary of course, but almost as terrifying in a totally refreshing way.
