Criminally Underrated

This movie doesn't get nearly enough credit. If not for the studio trying to water this movie down, we might be talking about it with the likes of Hellraiser and Alien.I first saw this in the theater in 97 and it has only gotten better with time. Great sci-fi movie with traditional horror elements. The thunderstorms and fog add to the ambience.Sam Neil and Laurence Fishburne give fantastic performances that are not reflected in the box office earnings.I wish we could see the original version that had test audiences fainting but apparently the film has been destroyed due to improper storage.Highly recommend.

We don't need eyes.....

The year is 2047 and a ship named the Event Horizon has re-appeared after disappearing 7 years prior, in experiments for faster than light travel.A rescue hastily speeds to the returned vessel after a transmission was picked up from the ship, garbled, but vaguely resembling a human voice.As the crew reach the ship, and spend longer on it, it appears that someone or something is toying with them, and more, the question is what has the Event Horizon become?....The first thing you notice is that this is the Shining in apace, but with added effects and obviously more space and loud noises to make you jump. And for the most part, it works very well.But the script is very bad, and the inclusion of Jones as Cooper is an awful inclusion as he he is just there for comic relief, and feels really out of place in this sort of film.Fishburne and Neill do the norm and are as watchable as ever, but it's the supporting cast that really surprise in this. Issacs and Pertwee are really good, and show that they are as reliable as always.Visually it's very impressive, and the build and maguffin are quite unsettling, but after a while, it turns into a film about people walking down a corridor and trying not to look into a spinning ball.The final act, which should have been shocking and macabre, is daft and way over the top, and although it's action packed, it's pretty boring in the end.So it's a fun set up, which is quite eerie in parts, but the ending lets it down, becoming ridiculous and killing of characters as quick as the makers can.Hello to Jason Issacs
