Date: December 11th, 2014 7:23 PM Author: Titillating fortuitous meteor tattoo I haven't watched it in several years, but I remember it being a very solid, scary as fuck, movie.

"If I were a psychologist hired to analyze the people who made this, I would conclude that everyone involved needed to take their inner child out back and shoot it."
"You look at Event Horizon as you would something that fell out of someone's nose."
"It's disheartening to see how quickly this movie degenerates from an intriguing premise into an absurd gore-a-thon."
"High-tech ghost story takes a grip until credibility goes into orbit." LJL at this one.

Date: December 11th, 2014 7:27 PM Author: Titillating fortuitous meteor tattoo Looking at the release date, last time I saw it was in UG, which means I was likely stoned out of mind when I saw it. I guess I'll take your word for it, but I recall it being a solid movie. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2753927&forum_id=2#26911460) |

Date: December 11th, 2014 7:28 PM Author: unholy codepig voyeur I watched it while in high school and my friend and I both busted out laughing after the dream sequence early in the film. From then on we just couldn't take any of that shit seriously. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2753927&forum_id=2#26911467) |

Date: December 11th, 2014 7:41 PM Author: thriller dopamine menage first part is small groups of people wandering around the dark, completely abandoned corridors of this weird ass experimental vessel that popped up out of nowhere way the fuck out at Neptune. a gradual sense that something is wrong builds up -- what happened to the crew? what is this ship and where did it go? to hell? whatever it is, there's a panicky need to get out quick because the crew is completely isolated and exposed.
second part is GRAARRRRHHH YEAH HAIL SATAN WE SURE DID GO TO HELL HERE'S SOME BLOOD IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE GRAAAA DID YOU SEE THAT WINDOW EXPLODE AND THAT GUYS HEAD POP OPEN GRR SOME CGI FLAMES 2 SCARE YOU LAURENCE FISHBURNE |

Date: December 11th, 2014 7:31 PM Author: thriller dopamine menage nailed the cr. first half is world class horror. really scary premise and a good job of making the space station feel isolated, abandoned, and dark.
2nd half is just a meh action gorefest although sam neill remains pretty awesome |
