Event Horizon
Hell's bells and gravity wells, this perennial derelict hell-ship delirium is an ongoing nonsense and I cannot get enough of this scrumptious trash. Love what you've done with the place, Sam.
Event Horizon
A estética desse filme é boa, o começo é do caralho, mas o restante é fraco. Fiquei impressionado com o CGI de 1997.
Event Horizon
Hooptober 9 (https://boxd.it/iw0h4) #9 of 33 • EXTRA horror film set in space (https://letterboxd.com/gfox_1/list/horror-in-space/) or the future (https://letterboxd.com/tenaciousnyx/list/films-set-in-the-future-1/genre/horror/) This movie has so much potential. The late 90s cliches hold it back of course, along with it being heavily edited down from the original 2-hour runtime (if you don’t know what I’m talking about, look it up). What I wouldn’t give for someone to remake this nowadays but with that 2+ hour runtime and a heavy R-rating. Also, why do all of the posters for this film suck? Again, so much potential here.
Event Horizon
“Hell is only a word. The reality is much, much worse.” I’m not sure I would have gone for Hellraiser in space when Hellraiser is already a boring horror franchise, but that’s what happened here so who am I to question PWSA? It certainly wasn’t his directing and horror sensibilities—those were what made this worth watching. Also loved how strange the atmosphere of the Event Horizon was and how alien the ship itself felt. Phenomenal set design. Where the film loses me is the dialogue/writing. I don’t mind dumb characters, you need them to make a horror movie work. But none of these characters get a clue until the last 30 minutes or so and it was very grating, to say the least. Someone will ask what’s going on, someone will say what’s going on, and the one who asked will be like: you just made that up! This circular dialogue goes on for far too long and it happens in at least three instances I can think of. Still, great gowns…beautiful gowns. A classic sci-fi horror film that I wish they made more of.
