Oh dear heavens.
This is considered as close to a Warhammer 40K movie without actually being one.
1st Scifi Horror? No ALIEN?
I mean people seem to think it's basically a prequel to the Warhammer 40K universe, and the "hell" is just the "warp". How Humanity went completely fascist, conquering and xenophobic like we see in 40K would be an interesting story, maybe lol
Phillip Eisner did play 40k when he was younger and admitted that it may have had a subconscious influence on his writing
It also is borderline remake of Disney’s 1979 “The Black Hole”.
What I love about this movie is it steals with reckless abandon from everything yet still manages to make something unique. Often sounds like Star Trek, “borrows” heavily from Alien and The Shining.
That’s part of what makes it so shocking when it suddenly drops stunning Hellraiser-esque footage.
This is one of the scariest films ever made. Perfectly blends horror with science fiction.
Deadspace game makers really agreed
This is interesting movie but not that scary.
Deep space exploration would be like the first people venturing out into the oceans back at the beginning of the renaissance. No idea if you'll make it back, what you'll encounter... brave, brave souls those people.
Pacific islanders, european and other ancient civilizations who've been navigating the oceans for centuries prior: "Are we a joke to you?"
@@lovipoekimo176 Haha fair enough, them too.
@@lovipoekimo176 Sorry, I play a LOT of civ where nobody gets ocean-going vessels until the renaissance.
Hey Ray, I wrote a review of Event Horizon for my high school newspaper back in 1998. What a great horror flick eh? And that line from Fishburne after he watches the recordings of madness... "We're leaving." is just hilariously fantastic.
Miller was a great character. He tried to make the best decisions, like the one you cited. Evidence there's no one alive here and something messed up happened? We're out.
I first saw this movie as part of a marathon. I watched this in which a big gyroscopic thingy opens a portal to hell. The next movie was Contact, in which we build a giant gyroscopic thingy....
I'm surprised you guys still haven't watched John Carpenter's "Prince of Darkness" movie. It's another hidden gem that most people pass over like the Exorcist 3, which again is quite a good movie as well.
I still get freaked out by this even after all these years
First?
Could not click over fast enough...such an awesome movie! So happy to see you guys reacting to it. 😁
Hope you enjoyed it!
Sean Pertwee (Smith) was in a great werewolf horror movie called Dog Soldiers (and in a 40k link, he voiced a Space Marine in the ill-fated Ultramarines movie)
The concept that has you intrigued is cosmic horror... this film (which I really like) is another imperfect Lovecraftian horror film.
This is a straight up Horror Film!
RIP James Earl Jones
The thing that makes this horror effective is that the visual effects are largely practical. if this film was made today, this'd be chockfull of unconvincing and un-scary CGI
I remember dragging my mom to a what I thought was just a SciFi. We held hands during this show, in a undeserved somewhat empty theater. The emptiness around us made the movie a bit scarier lol.
Good movie. Chilling. It felt like a ship had somehow been trapped in Hellraiser and the senabites tortured an AI into insanity.
Ever seen Sam Neill in The Mouth of Madness? Great film
I LOVE that movie. One of Carpenter's best.
I saw this movie in a theater on a date. Glad I had someone to hold my hand.
Great reaction guys - such an underrated gem of a sci-fi horror movie with a hell of a cast!
I'm sure others have said by now, but you guys are absolutely spot on twice in 1 vid! -
The film WAS cut down for theatrical release - there was considerably more violence & gore, test audiences were so shocked & freaked out by it, the studio apparently insisted on major cuts.
There is (although I believe unconfirmed) a lot of speculation that the director was heavily inspired by Warhammer 40k, and even if it wasn't , a growing number see it as a (spiritual) prequel to 40k!
Best horror ever because actors took it seriously. And I like the design of Event Horizon ship without the possession.
I never got into it. The ship built like a haunted house with pointless stabbing things broke the fourth wall for me.
This movie had so much potential. You are right -- it would be great material for a streaming series IF done correctly.
Saw this at the movies with my friend. No one else in the theatre. After a while, I asked myself what in God's name I was doing there watching it. I did think it was a good movie.
FOr me, sitting in the theater way back when, this movie had EXACTLY the same traumatic terror inducing effect as JAWS in 1975. It's the single most impactful SciFI Horror movie Ive ever seen.. I wont say best, because there is some serious cheese, and a few acting issues, but the wallop it packs, and the PTSD that remains....
Saw at the theater! Loved it, those were fun times at the theater, lots of great movies to see, new stadium seating and better sounding theaters were being built everywhere
Yeah i miss those days. 90's and early 2000 had so many great movies and it wasbt so expensive to go watch them.
Oh, This movie was wild.... I loved it !!!! 😊 One of the best films ever...😊
I like how this movie subverts some of the horror movie tropes for some unexpected twists.
also Sam Neil
This movie was harmed by production problems with Titanic, believe it or not. Titanic was supposed to be released in the summer but because Titanic’s fx couldn’t be completed in time, it was moved to December and Paramount thus needed a summer thriller, EH was it and its production time was greatly reduced.
They cut the time so short it’s a bit amazing the movie is even coherent. It has an immense number of fx too.
So, yes, one movie about a doomed ship nearly sank another about a doomed ship.
What happens when you go through the Warp without a Geller field.
That first vhs movie is so good, watch it , thanks
Sam Neil character had a nervous breakdown. Caused by his wife death and ship disaster
Thought the idea of a hell dimension silly and wrote a 'report' rebutting the events in the story as not enough shielding around the drive and Dr. Weir not making enough separation between the drive and the crewed section. All the events had mundane, real science reasons for happening with hallucinations being caused by the effects of the FTL drive. I had the report have a historical note about the drive problems being corrected and the drive currently in use with the initial mission being the only time anything like this happening. Good 40k origin movie if the events are taken as presented.
Love me some Warhammer 40k origin story... :-)
Chaos, a bit of Slaneesh and Tzinch.
I must try to rewatch the film at some point, I'm sure I've seen it, but it didn't leave much of an impression on me. What I got from the reaction was thinking of better films you could see the cast in! Sean Pertwee is in Doomsday (a bonkers action film with a little bit of sci-fi) and Dog Soldiers (a werewolf film). Jason Isaacs is brilliant in Death Of Stalin which is a disturbingly accurate, very dark comedy about the power vacuum after Stalin died (and I reckon Julien would love it)
This is 2/3's a great flick. The third act, as much as I love the ideas in it, and the ending sacrifice, the editing is awful. The sound design is temp, and it shows, with those hilarious temp "BONKS!" noises and stuff. Also, if this horror movie knew itself just a tad better, Cooper should not have come back after flying off into space. He should have died in the explosion, OR, been show hanging onto a piece of debris drifting into space, screaming in terror.
24:50 "She deserved that." ...You do understand the ship gets inside of their head, right? She's not just being stupid because. The ship literally can make you believe what you are seeing is real. That flash of the core in the eye is the sign that you're basically being partially possessed. Peters didn't deserve to die like that. She was full of guilt for leaving her son behind, and that guilt killed her.
This is the same reason other members of the crew start acting funny. Like DJ getting suddenly violent with Smitty. The ship was taunting DJ about his surgical scar. If you watch him closely he touches his chest, and fidgets with his pocket pouch of equipment.
Great horror movie. I just wish that Paul Anderson had been given a little more time to finish the final acts editing. It would be his best work, if not for that.
Hey, if you want to do another 90s Paul Anderson flick there's Soldier... or... Mortal Kombat.
This and "Titan AE" were the first sci-fi films to more accurately depict what would happen to the human body if exposed to space. After "2001: A Space Odyssey" of course.
I watched something on the backstory on this movie and how the director really wasn’t able to make the movie he wanted to, I forget the reasons, lots of lost footage, money issues studio meddling, made him cut alot of the length out and then all that footage was destroyed so when they thought of making a director’s cut they weren’t able to. , or something like that, thanks
This comes so damned close to being great but it just...isn't.
There was a lot more messed up footage shot that is sadly lost due to poor storage practices.
One of the last proper horror films
The only horror movie I respect. The people aren't idiots guaranteed to the one thing that's ensures they get killed.
I never liked this movie due to the bad acting, over acting and I blame a lot of that on the director who should have been able to spot these problems and rectify them.
The acting was probably the best thing in it.
ROP screwed up more stuff.
Event Horizon is a favorite film of mine, perhaps my real intro into Horror--I didn't like all the '90s slasher films but I loved sci-fi, and we rented this one on a whim and I was blown away.
Also, I love the V/H/S series, (there are currently 6 installments of the anthology series, V/H/S; V/H/S 2; V/H/S viral; V/H/S '94; V/H/S '99; V/H/S '85. A new one should be coming out pretty soon: V/H/S Beyond, out beginning of October '24.)
Solaris ('72) + Hellraiser ('87) = Event Horizon ('97.) I'd love to see a new Event Horizon at least as good as the new Hellraiser. Y'all are definitely cores that would be interesting.
*I will simply say three things (1) this is from an era where audiences were not taken-out of the film because the science didn't add up (2) They were a rescue team, and not necessarily "scientists," (beyond their specialty,) much like in Alien they're basically space truckers and in The Thing they're the winter skeleton crew, (see Antarctica: A Year On The Ice (2013,) a good doc about the people who live and work on Antarctica and what that's actually like, I found it really helps to better understand the situation from The Thing) (3) It was meant to be more brutal but the studio backed off what could have been a hard-R in a bid to get butts in seats.
The screenwriter was heavily influenced by 40K.
To fans that's enough to make this cannon as the first time humans encountered the Warp.
Does someone have an Anycubic printer?
Yes
@@julienn8844 ask me how I knew that. 🤓which one did you get? what do you print?
